This was a fun new take on the Batman/Gotham universe. The school was really cool- kind of like if Hogwarts existed in Gotham and was run/funded by Batman. I really liked Maps and Olive, especially together. They were both a lot of fun and interesting in their own ways. This volume set up a lot of questions and plotlines that I really want to figure out (like what is up with Olive's mom? who is Tristan? what's going to happen with Kyle?). For a first volume in a series, this did a great job of setting a scene and making a mystery that makes the reader want to continue on ASAP.
