One of Marvel’s most beloved heroes takes center stage next month and you’re not going to want to miss it… Fans have already gotten a glimpse of Mary Jane Watson in the Free Comic Book Day issue of Marvel’s upcoming series, Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #1, and Marvel has enlisted some of comics’ most acclaimed artists to reimagine the fan-favorite in the shoes of iconic heroes such as Doctor Strange, Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine and more.

To say that Gotham Academy #7 feels a little disappointing would be completely unfair. That would imply that its quality is somehow deficient, and that is patently not the case. Just like the preceding issues of this series, it’s capital T.N. Top Notch. But the fact that it is so Top Notch leaves the fleeting aspects of the story — say like the presence of a certain major Bat-family character — feeling like they’re gone too soon. Basically, Gotham Academy #7 is like being given a slice of a magnificently delicious pie and having the rest taken away from you. It’s satisfying on its own, but you still have to wonder why it is you can’t have another.

Yes, after the tantalizing teaser at the end of issue #6, Damian Wayne enrolls at Gotham Academy,...
