Wasn’t quite sure what to expect as I’ve never read Gotham Academy before (I have read a bunch of Lumberjanes though) but this was pretty damn good!! The art was cute, the plot was cool and the skeleton/evil spirit things were rad as hell!

It's interesting how this crossover emphasized to me how great Lumberjanes is and how less-than-great Gotham Academy is. It certainly helps that this is a very Lumberjanes sort of story, with weird crap happening in the woods that gets solved through the power of friendship, etc. But it did sort of underscore the thing that's niggled at me about Gotham Academy that I haven't really been able to put my finger on, that everything, all the time, is all about Olive. Which... I like Olive, but. When

The Good: Great idea for a crossover. I did like the 80's references and the use of the Cow Skulls from Time Bandits.The Bad: A lot of characters to juggle to the point where it was difficult for anyone to stand out. Plus, the story really dragged in the middle. Probably could have shortened this by 2 issues.The Ugly: The art didn't help. It wasn't bad, but all of the characters looked the same.

I've read just about everything from Lumberjanes but know absolutely nothing about Gotham Academy. This volume does an okay job of introducing the new [to me] characters, but honestly it was a lot to handle at times. You've got about 13 main characters to juggle, half of whom are probably unfamiliar to most readers, and thanks to the somewhat ambiguous art and similar hairstyles it's occasionally hard to tell a few of them apart. The plot was okay, although honestly there's a bit more ~teen dram...

Oh my god, this was so amazing.

I enjoyed seeing these two worlds collide! The Lumberjane girls are my favorite and I enjoyed Gotham Academy and I was pleasantly surprised to find that their personalities didn't overlap too much. This was fun and the story line was different and funny, though it lulled at times. My one complaint was with the art; it wasn't that it wasn't beautiful art, but that I kept getting some of the characters confused because they looked the same (Mal, Pom, Jo for example).

Was hoping to like this a lot more. How on earth does a comic manage to have sooo much dialogue? It felt like they really just wanted to write fanfic, but needed to squish it into a comic book format. The large amount of text squished into the small speech bubbles became tedious to read. The illustrations weren't bad, however they didn't resemble either Lumberjanes or Gotham Academy AT ALL, so between that and the huge character roster, it was sometimes hard to tell everyone apart.In a nutshell:...

This a cross promotion between Lumberjanes, which I love, and Gotham Academy who I did not know. The characters are all here and it was interesting. It also bored me some. The art didn't look right for our characters and I didn't like the story of getting stuck in this lodge. I liked some of the takes on the 80s. I feel it could have been a better story and better art work so the characters looked right. Half the book everyone wore prom clothes. Also Rosy was in this episode like never before an...

I came to this comic because I'm a fan of the Lumberjanes so I assumed that the point of this crossover was to get people interested in the Gothan Academy and vice versa. But while the art was great, there were too many characters and the plot was so paper thin that, had I not been invested in the lumberjanes, I would have dropped this book. Also '80s throwbacks are not for me.

[Read as single issues]Considering the characters involved in Gotham Academy and Lumberjanes, a crossover between the two seems like a perfect idea. In execution, it's not quite as perfect as I'd have hoped it'd be.To summarise the plot quickly, the 'janes and the Academy kids all meet in the creepy woods around the camp, and get embroiled in a time-travel/magical/weird plot surrounding a woman trapped in time because her birthday party got ruined. Typical fare for both series, if we're honest.T...

This was okay...not a big fan of the art but at least it was consistent.

As a fan of both Lumberjanes and Gotham Academy, this was a crossover I was looking forward to. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown. It was still an enjoyable read, just not quite as much as I'd hoped.The cover of the book is beautiful. I was hoping it would be representative of the art inside, but it definitely is not. The story's art isn't bad, but it's much simpler. That style suits the Lumberjane girls, but not the Gotham Academy kids. A good chunk of the story takes place in a cabin wh...

This was actually perhaps my favorite Lumberjanes... I'm not sure why. It just seemed a bit more involved, perhaps? I loved the whole plot line and enjoyed the illustrations. I always love the cover galleries at the back of the volumes too.

Friendship to the Max meets the Detective Club... a truly amazing combo.

This is my introduction to Gotham Academy, but I loved reading this and Gotham Academy sounds so good too!!

This is what I've been waiting for from the Lumberjanes. I also liked being introduced to the kids from Gotham Academy also. I wish I had read a book or so from them but I caught on quick enough. Now I'm going to read those ones also. The plot was fantastic, the art amazing, the color was great, and the monsters were creepy. I didn't know I could get everything I'd ever want from this graphic novel when I checked it out on a whim.

As someone whose knowledge of Gotham Academy is fully sourced from Wikipedia, this crossover was still an absolute delight. I’m sure there’s a lot of references you would understand more if you’re familiar with both properties but it’s not necessary. Loved the mystery plot, the action adventure, and how well the two groups got along - truly a fun time!And this implies that the Lumberjanes camp is within a reasonable driving distance from Gotham... hmm!

this was cute as hell and i thought the art was a great blend of the two styles

THIS IS THE MOST MAGICAL GRAPHIC NOVEL IN THE FUCKING WORLD AND I WANT SO MUCH MORE!!!! I'm going to need Maps and Ripley to have their own spinoff and volumes and volumes of future adventures. Also, only with LJ and GA do you get a female antagonist that isn't an actual villain. BLESS. GIVE ME MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
