Gotham High by Melissa de la Cruz

Gotham High by Melissa de la Cruz was yet again another very fun read from DC’s YA graphic novels. I was actually a bit apprehensive about this read this at first because of the whole high school dynamic and because of the obvious love triangle BUT I am pleased to let you all know that I actually read this in one sitting and it was really fun to read. Of course if I had noticed that my girl Selina Kyle was the Voice of this graphic novel I would have picked it up a lot sooner.

Now to the art style!! ahh just look at it! I’m so over the top obsessed with the art style of this graphic novel I can’t get over it! The colors, the details, the shading!! It just all makes my artist heart very happy. I won’t lie there are some scenes that I would definitely frame if I could. The twists on each character were also very interestingly done. I like that there were different ethnicities in this and that some characters were flipped around, this has probably been one of my favorite of the DC YA comics so far. I of course blame Selina Kyle she is probably one of my favorite DC characters – aside from Ivy of course 😉

I think over all this one deserves 4 stars – and I’m not just being biased cause I love Selina..okay maybe just a little bit – Gotham high is out now! make sure to get your copies! what else is there to do in this Quarentined life except quarenread!
