While the style was enjoyable, and the characters are becoming endearing, the plot at present is too convoluted and thus I start to drift off during the 'infodumps'

Gotham Academy (2014)

WELCOME TO GOTHAM ACADEMY! Gotham City's most prestigious prep school is a very weird place. It's got a spooky campus, oddball teachers, and rich benefactors always dropping by...like that weirdo Bruce Wayne. But nothing is as strange is the students!

A perfect issue. It had fun, but stakes were real. They appeared small, but considering that our hero was broke and desperate I could resonate with them much more than the whole city being under danger from aliens. Also the "elder lady" seems like she could be an interesting character in the future. Hoping this run has a long bright life!

Amazing issue. It's nice that it was a low profile story done well, not every hero has to have world saving stakes. It's always nice to see a regular life story of a person, especially someone like the 2nd iteration of Ant-Man, who admits to his own ridiculous situation. It's good that it's not just a vehicle to create hype for the movie.

• Scott Lang has never exactly been the world's best super hero. Heck, most people don't even think he's been the best ANT-MAN -- and the last guy invented Ultron and joined the Masters of Evil, so that's saying something.

Fun issue, Coulson is characterized nicely, although his fanboyism is reffered to too many times. At one point I felt like, I get it Mr Waid, Coulson loves superheroes, get on with the story!
