Gotham Academy: First Year #4 Preview

 

For a few months, Olive Silverlock thought she might have it all. She could envision a future with Kyle Mizoguchi. His family had invited her along on their summer vacation. After her portrayal of Juliet in the school play, Olive was the toast of her drama class. Then Jonathan Crane detonated a bomb on Arkham Asylum. 

Olive wanted to escape her mom's fate. So, she left her alone in the institution, and Sybil Silverlock died alone. Can Olive forgive herself for abandoning her mother? And who will she meet when she spends the summer in the empty dormitory?
