BOOM! Studios and DC Comics team up to bring together Lumberjanes and Gotham Academy for the ultimate friendship-fueled crossover event. Written by Chynna Clugston Flores (Blue Monday), and illustrated by Rosemary Valero-O’Connell (Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me) Jenna Ayoub, Maddi Gonzalez, and Kelly & Nichole Matthews (Toil and Trouble), this is a run-for-your-life-from-skeletal-monsters mystery that leads to lifelong friendship! When a teacher at Gotham Academy goes missing, it’s up to Olive, Maps, Colton, Pom, and Kyle to figure out what is happening and how to get her back. With only an outdated birthday invitation as the clue, they find themselves in the middle of the woods with no idea of where to start. With the sudden appearance of the Lumberjanes—April, Jo, Mal, Molly, Ripley and Jen—who are on the hunt for their missing Camp Director, all clues point to an abandoned cabin with more secrets than cobwebs. "...a match made in comic heaven, as everything from the book’s creative team to its deliberately structured plot strikes early gold." - IGN

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 4–8—This volume collects the six issues of the crossover comics featuring characters from the fan favorites "Lumberjanes" and "Gotham Academy" series. Professor MacPherson of Gotham Academy goes missing and the school's Detective Club is on the case. When Rosie, their camp director, is also nowhere to be found, the Lumberjanes embark on a mission to locate her. The two friend groups encounter each other in the woods just as they're being attacked by a trio of skeletal ghosts. Two of their own are taken away by the specters, and thus begins an adventure that joins the two casts in fun and unexpected ways. This mash-up brings together elements that fans will appreciate: friendship-powered high jinks, luminous and vibrant art, and diverse, gender-nonconforming characters who jump off the page. However, some of the dialogue becomes overly saccharine and didactic in parts, and tweens might need to reread it several times to understand references to the 1980s and some of the clunky exposition. While the mystery itself is intriguing—a 1980s teen is stuck in a spell that has reunited her friends at a birthday party 30 years in the making—the denouement might disappoint and confuse those coming to these characters and story lines for the first time. Still, the authors stay true to the spirit of both series, and those who enjoy friendship-themed comics will delight in this volume. VERDICT Purchase where both franchises have a following.—Shelley M. Diaz, School Library Journal

Very fun action packed series.

I am so glad I gave this series a try. These are fun reads. Especially tempting to the reluctant reader. Not only will you not be disappointed, you'll probably get hooked too. I want to know what happens next every time.

Great crossover

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2019

I was excited for a crossover between Lumberjanes and Gotham Academy because they were kind of my current favorite graphic novels. It starts with Prof MacPherson getting abducted and the Detective Club going in search of her with the only clue being a party in a lodge that is in the same forest as the Lumberjanes camp. Meanwhile, at the Lumberjanes camp, Rosie has been carried away and they are looking for clues when they cross paths with Detective Club, and Olive is chased and abducted by the mysterious hooded figures. When she comes to, we realize the party is real, even if the invitation is 30 years out of date, and they are stuck there by a curse.

The story is pretty boring for what was to be an exciting crossover - most of their attempts are geared to getting Olive and the teachers out, but when that fails they themselves become part of the party. It isn't until much later they realize the why and how of the party and how to get out of there. The mystery isn't really a mystery, and the resolution was, well, predictable. The artwork is split between two artists, and changes mid-way, which was a surprise; I preferred the second one's style.

Overall, I wasn't much impressed and I hope there will be another proper crossover in the future.

Great idea for a crossover

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2017

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.
