What did you find intriguing about this book?

This is a story set in Gotham where Batman isn’t the hero (in fact, he’s really causing a lot of the issues…) Olive Silverlock is an awesome character who is torn between her love for her imprisoned supervillain mom and her friends in Gotham Academy’s detective club. The art in this series is super clean and the cast of characters is incredible. As the series progresses it always feels up in the air whether you’re reading a story about a future supervillain’s origin, or a story about a young woman overcoming adversity with her friends.
