4 Stars overall3 Stars art, 5 Stars storyBuy it Two of my favorite comics together! The story is good but I’m not impressed with the artist. Olive doesn’t remotely look like Olive. Jane from the lumberjanes doesn’t look like her either. Most of the other characters at least mostly look like what they are supposed to. I’m definitely not a fan of the internal artist. The cover artist made it seem like it was going to be awesome art. Oh well. Anyway, the story was pretty awesome. The gotham academy...
Lumberjanes have consistently been a favorite of mine, but this crossover lacked the punchy, quirky dialogue that is indicative of that series. It felt more like the lukewarm Gotham Academy series. I DNF this as I didn't even find the mystery that compelling.
This is a pretty good story with a genuine mystery. The LumberJanes join up with students of Gotham Academy to find the missing Professor MacPherson.The story is straight forward and well paced with a diverse and interesting cast of teenagers.An enjoyable read
Hey, put out those glowsticks! You might actually start an illegal dance party. And I won't techno for an answer.
When I first heard about the cross over, I was really excited. I really enjoyed how the two came together in a unique way! I felt the characters were able to remain true to themselves and I really appreciated that throughout this collaboration.
I got this by accident, because there was a misunderstanding with my comic book shop. I wanted to preorder the trade and he thought I wanted the issue. It is a good introduction into the story and how the two groups meet. So far so good. The only thing that struck me a bit odd was that I always thought April from the Janes was curvy but here she's rather skinny. apart from that, nice start of the story. I'll definitely get the trade.
I got this for my younger cousin two years in a row because I have a terrible memory, and she gave one back to me. It was a quick and interesting read and while it was hard to keep track of all of the characters, having not read Lumberjanes or Gotham Academy, it was still entertaining. I will say that I am tempted to read the Lumberjanes books now.
This was EVERYTHING I hoped it would be. Full review to come.
4.75/5 stars.
I don’t think I’m the intended audience for this book. It is written with the assumption that you are already acquainted with the characters and general set up - I am not familiar with either series, so I found it confusing. I wasn’t impressed with the characters or storyline, but the art was ok. At one point it mentions that their phones went dead as soon as they went in the woods, so they couldn’t use their flashlights. I hope they meant the battery completely died, not that they lost signal b...
Okay, so, maybe you guys already know this but apparently it helps if you are familiar with BOTH comics before reading this crossover... I was just a big ol' dummy and launched straight in. Obviously, I am not qualified to rate this properly as I have read a lot of Lumberjanes stuff and no Gotham Academy whatsoever. I mean, I enjoyed it, but I didn't understand it.
“I think your potential is infinite, as long as you don’t allow other people to define you. Not your parents, not friends, not a romantic interest. Be true to yourself. You’re strong enough to do what YOU want with your future.” How great is that? I do love the Lumberjanes graphic novels, and it looks like I’m going to HAVE to start reading the Gotham Academy as well. Tough job, but I think I’m up for it. Lol! 💪🏻
4/5 starsApril straight up kicked a tree down. How. On another note, this is an awesome crossover- thank you for gifting us with this, BoomBox and DC. These two groups of kids are so alike, and seeing them come together is just... super duper awesome. I'm definitely going to be collecting these- it's not even that long a series, only 6 issues! Definitely recommend for fans of Lumberjanes and Gotham Academy, and people who dig Gravity Falls- the GF vibes are super strong!
I was so glad when the TPB of this crossover series turned up at my library, as I'd bought the first few issues of the comics last summer and didn't know how the story ended (I don't have the discipline for pull lists-I'd be dropping hundreds of dollars every month.) I wasn't familiar with Gotham Academy--it's one of the New 52 series I never really followed--and I didn't notice I wasn't buying straight-up Lumberjanes until the clerk pointed it out. Because evidently I can't read. Anyway, I real...
I came into this book from a hardcore Lumberjanes-loving point of view, and was lost among all the Gotham Academy character interactions. The art was different from strict Lumberjanes art, but the characters were recognizable. The story was average, starting out as a mystery, then playing with a 1980s theme, featuring teamwork and friendship, and then having the expected happy ending.Not sure I would continue this crossover series. I prefer my Lumberjanes straight up, without any Gotham Academy....
I haven't read either Lumberjanes or Gotham Academy before, so I probably didn't enjoy this as much as I could have. There were just way too many characters and the art style doesn't really give them distinct faces, so once they all changed clothes, I had some trouble keeping track of who was who. Aside from a few characters, it was also hard to get a handle on their personalities.. mainly because the story zips along pretty quickly and we're assumed to already know the characters from reading t...
I find that the Gotham Academy characters are slightly forgettable in comparison to the zany Lumberjanes crew, but perhaps that's just me. Still, a fun crossover idea that I could see going places. Now, what if some of the Lumberjanes, during the school year, happened to transfer to a certain gloomy academy....
This was much better than the last couple of Lumberjanes volumes and the addition of The Gotham Academy crew really made this a fun and unique graphic novel. I am interested in continuing this series.
So this was a lot of fun as a crossover of two fab series. I have to say this is only the beginning (hence the 3.5* instead of 4*) and I think things will get better from here on out. I do miss the wonderful artwork we have within the original Gotham Academy as the artwork here is a lot more in line with the Lumberjanes style, but as a whole it works.This story brings the girls of Lumberjanes into an adventure where they meet Olive and the others from Gotham Academy. All of them are looking for
Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy, I believe is the first crossover graphic novel series with the Lumberjanes and Gotham Academy. So, in this story both Rosy and a professor Macpherson disappear. This is nothing new to the lumberjanes, but the Gotham students are worried. So they search Macpherson's office to find a brand new 30 year old party invitation. This is their only clue and it takes them into the woods. Coincidentally, it takes them to where the Lumberjanes are. Both groups end up meeting in t...
