Life at school is both terrible (pissing off the football team is never a good idea) and wonderful (almost kissing a cute boy is almost perfect), but Olive Silverlock will never be truly happy until she knows her mom is safe. Visiting her in Arkham is supposed to be reassuring! But when Olive meets the man behind the Scarecrow’s mask, will her serenity be torn away, too?
This book is just a pure delight from start to finish but closes us out with a dark cliffhanger packed with suspense. Read Full Review

While the existence of this series still feels odd, I'm enjoying it for the most part. It's really just an issue of having read the prior work and trying to place this in context to it while barely remembering the original beyond thoroughly enjoying its first dozen or so issues.

The real fun is in exploring things with her mother and how that kind of roller coaster of a relationship can throw you off so thoroughly. The artwork is solid, especially with Olive and the location pieces, be it Arkham or the school, and the time with Kyle is fun. But it's still just really settling on what kind of story it wants to tell and what it's intent is in filling in this particular gap. Read Full Review
