Okay.

This has nothing to do with me working for DC, nothing to do with me having worked in the bat-offices, this is just straight talk.

This morning, I got to see an advance PDF of the upcoming GOTHAM ACADEMY by Becky Cloonan, Karl Kerschel and Brendan Fletcher.

Holy shit, I have not been this excited about a Gotham book in years. I am not even remotely exaggerating. 

This book is beautifully written and GORGEOUSLY drawn. Scott Snyder and I are just agog at the coloring alone, and that’s on top of the innovative and eye-melting art of Karl Kerschel.

The script is cute (without being that fake pixie stuff that is becoming the new female cliche) but also has heart and brains and a ton of imagination. 

This book is GREAT. 

I absolutely loved it.

Take my recommendation for what it’s worth. I am writing a book for DC and all, but this has nothing to do with that. I barely know the creators involved. My only bias is for great books.

This is the kind of book that sticks in your heart and needs to be re-read and ogled over.

Seriously, I can’t recommend it highly enough. Tell your retailer you WANT GOTHAM ACADEMY.

You will thank me.
