Millie had had some inkling of her family's misdeeds, even at the age of twelve, and she had been an outsider among them.
Macpherson's history class, Olive reflects on the diaries of Millie Jane Cobblepot, with whom she identifies as an outsider. Having dropped her books, Oliver frustratedly warns Maps to get to class so that she can be alone. Lost in her thoughts, Olive accidentally bumps into the hated Pomeline Fritch, who mockingly reminds her not to be late for their shared history class, lest let her Wayne Foundation scholarship go to waste. She feels trapped there, now, and after her unpleasant experience over the past summer, she's too afraid to go anywhere else. Grumpily, Olive hurries Maps across the campus' courtyard through the rain, bemoaning the fact that she has been selected to chaperone her ex-boyfriend's little sister around on her first day of her second year at the academy. He warns Olive, though, to avoid the North Hall in her tour, as an incident has rendered the area structurally unsound. With a storm brewing over the prestigious Gotham Academy, Olive Silverlock worries about what fate awaits her after she and Maps Mizoguchi were called before the headmaster - whom Olive refers to as "Hammer-Head." Catching Maps in the act of calling him that, Headmaster Hammer warns her to treat him respectfully as he explains that he assigned Olive as Maps' "nanny" to help her acclimate to campus life as a first year student.
#OLIVE SILVERLOCK SERIES#
Honestly, the only thing I could heartily recommend this series for is the artwork – the storyline is not nearly as good as I expected it to be. The plot was unnecessarily convoluted and I didn’t even find it satisfying to have all the threads wrapped up – no sequel to the original first volume has lived up to it, and the sudden out of character behaviour for some main characters meant it was a messy finish. So while Calamity is out there setting fires, the Detective squad is trying to find a way to speak to the spirit and make her leave Olive. Olive’s ancestor Amity is on a path of vengeance, and is coming for all the original families of Gotham – which includes Wayne, and some others.
The closing of Olive’s possession arc would have been more impactful, had it not been for the sudden inclusion of new characters. When their rescue attempt leads them to an ancient relic hidden inside Wayne Manor, will Damian Wayne be able to help the students without revealing his secret identity as Robin?Īnd when Amity’s control pits Olive against villains Two-Face and the Penguin, Olive’s friends’ good intentions might just get them killed…Ĭollects GOTHAM ACADEMY: SECOND SEMESTER issues #9-12 and #4
