It all makes a surprising amount of sense.
So if you go back to the first and second story arcs, there are things in there that hint at what’s going on now. It’s all very important for the overall larger story.īecky: We’ve been seeding this whole story since we started. If you stopped reading Gotham Academy at some point, come back for the last few issues because this will answer questions that you had in the first few issues. The big thing about this story is that if you’ve been reading the book, these are the answers that you’ve always wanted. So what happens next? What can we expect from “The Ballad of Olive Silverlock”?īrenden: Well, she fights Voldemort in issue #12.īecky: Yeah, this is basically Voldemort’s origin story. We could totally “Hogwarts it” at the end of the story. There’s so much more! They’re going to be attending the academy for many more years after this.īrenden: It’s true. It’s been a crazy few years for this story.īrenden: If you look at it within the story’s timeline, this is the second semester, so this has only been a year in their lives. Which we did, and I’m so glad we did.īecky: We even got some time to support the other characters in the “Yearbook” chapters. They said that it was really good and we should just tell our story at our own pace, and have some faith in it. This was some really good character stuff and we were wondering if we had to rush it just to get it out there. We didn’t know what the response would be or how successful it would be, and because we had that idea in mind from the get-go, we asked ourselves, “Should we rush this?” There was no guaranteed future for this book or these characters.
Karl: I think it was a couple of years ago. Then the book found an audience and we were allowed to chart out the rest of the story. We started off just telling the nicest chunk of the story that we could, knowing that we had a guarantee to get at least the first story arc. Well, did you know that you would be getting to it at this point in the series?īrenden: That’s an interesting question. Did you always know we were heading for this? Has this been the plan for her from the start?īrenden Fletcher, Becky Cloonan and Karl Kerschl : Yes.īrenden: One word answer, Tim. With the end of Second Semester, we’ve learned the truth about Olive Silverlock and her connection with the Arkhams.
#First appearance of olive silverlock series#
In a recent conversation with Brenden Fletcher, Becky Cloonan and Karl Kerschl, the trio discussed how it feels to finally be wrapping up the series they started over two years ago, which characters they’re most pleased with, and what well known DC super-villain was originally supposed to be Gotham Academy’s groundskeeper. This final storyline is the one the book’s three writers always intended to go out on, and they promise it’ll address any unanswered questions that readers may have, including a few that stretch all the way back to the first issue. The truth about Olive is only one of the shocks to be found in issue #8, as we also discovered that the next storyline, “The Ballad of Olive Silverlock” will be the series’ last.īut don’t fret, Gotham Academy fans. You can find out why in the just released GOTHAM ACADEMY: SECOND SEMESTER #8, but be prepared. Olive Silverlock has become possessed by the fiery spirit of her ancestor, Amity Arkham, and she wants nothing less than to turn all of Gotham to ash and dust.
Things are heating up at Gotham Academy this week-quite literally.
