A good story, with likeable characters. I would have given this 3.5 stars but it deserves a round up instead of down. The story does feel rushed and there is not much time for character development.I like the theory of the wizards or tomorrow and possibly the next Sorcerer Supreme. This school is a powder keg waiting to explode. Powerful young magic users students from our and multiple dimensions, and teachers with no idea of danger and questionable morals. I think it can be summed up in the phr...

If i read it like a unique comic(i know that this is the part 1) my rating is 3.5, this doesn't mean that i don't like it, but i don't enjoyed to read it like i enjoy reading other comics. I hope that in the next part the plot and characters improve and don't make this comic boring to read.

This was pretty great! Good delving into various mystical corners of the Marvel Universe, and very kid-friendly, which means I was able to immediately hand it to my ten year old daughter and say "You should read this!" Which is awesome.

My brother told me to read this because wanda will be in that comic (she is my absolute favourite!) So I read this...and I don't like it, you don't get to know the children and I don't even remember their names, they are always fighting and causing problems then they fight again, it was soooo annoying.

Loved reading this one! The idea of a magical school story is always really fun, but a Marvel magical school? It's just awesome!!The plot was well paced and engaging and the large array of new characters allows for a lot of fun dynamics between them. Hopefully, the next volumes allow us to know more about each of the kids in the main group, because I felt that I don't know much about each character and I would love to know them more! That would be the only downside I find in the first volume rea...

JOYGASM! Seriously, I can't remember the last time I had this much fun reading a comicbook.When this book was first solicited I thought 'Nice concept, creating a Marvel universe version of Hogwarts with Doc Strange in the Dumbledore role but it's a shame Humberto Ramos is drawing it'. You see, I've never liked Ramos' artwork; I absolutely hated his Spidey stuff. I don't know what's happened but the guy has seriously leveled up on this book! His work here is less cartoony, less graffiti-inspired,...

This is one of the worst titles out right now. Sure, an insurmountable problem for me is that I absolutely despise Humberto Ramos' artwork. Normally I'm all about the story, so it was a big deal for me that I found his artwork so jarring several years ago that I took the time to look up his name, so I knew who I blamed for this melty, disproportionate way of drawing people.But beyond all that, there are too many kid characters for the reader to keep track of. I forget most of their names most of...

A wholly generic Harry Potter/Runaways mash-up that puts a random, bickering group of kids with little to no personality in a magic boarding school run by Marvel's biggest name magic users -- Doctor Strange, Magik, Scarlet Witch -- who barely show up at all.Skottie Young continues to be a writer who rarely impresses me, so I think I'll skip his future works.

Hogwarts set on Earth-616. The magical characters of the Marvel universe start a school for magical kids. Young and Ramos do a great job of making this entertaining. There may be too many kids in the cast to provide enough characterization for. Still it's a lot of fun and Humberto Ramos and Edgar Delgado are doing some of the best work of Ramos's long career.

Skottie Young just does good shit all around. This was fun and sweet and true to Marvel and just, YES!

Yaaaaaaaas. Great story...great art...I...I really love me a magic school story and this fits the bill peeeerfectly.I really hope we dig a bit more into the students and their backstory in the coming issues. I want to get to know them all.I couldn't be happier with this addition into the Marvel universe. I loved every single panel.*read in single issues*

An overstuffed six issue slog. There are eleven students to keep track of and only one or two have distinct character traits, let alone personalities. Humberto Ramos art has always been busy and Marvels decision to publish this in its smaller, middle grade series sizing scrunches it into an even muddier mess.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it. Marvel does the "weird school" thing well.

**Read as Single Issues**(Issue 8 just came out as I write this review.)Wow, did this title come out of nowhere for me! I picked up the first issue on a whim (as a longtime Dr. Strange fan), and was pleased enough to add to my pull list immediately. (The fact that Skottie Young and Humberto Ramos were involved merely added to the excitement, as I'm also fans of them both as well.)This title introduces A LOT of characters both old and new, both students and staff; fortunately almost all of the ch...

Strange Academy is a modern comic that follows the recipe that has always been used to create youth comics in the style of All-New X-Men, Volume 1: Yesterday's X-Men, Generation Hope: The Future's a Four-Lettered Word, New X-Men: Academy X, Vol. 1: Choosing Sides, etc. I feel like I really am not reading something new but even so it's a very fun comic that adds something to the current Marvel Universe. The magic in universe 616 is transforming and that brings us closer to new users of the

I will literally never tire of “kids go to magic school” stories.

I had never heard of this before I happened to see a copy of the cute collected edition and picked it up. What if Harry Potter was also the New Mutants in the Marvel universe, complete with a cast of school-age protagonists drawn from throughout Marvel's multiverse, from the son of Dormammu to an enormous frost giant. The story is by Skottie Young, the art by Humberto Ramos, who seems to be channeling Chris Bachalo's run on Dr. Strange (itself a thing I just recently learned about, but it seems

What a let down.I think the only way I could have enjoyed this a little more was if it was marketed as a comic for children, which would excuse the corniness of the dialogues and predictability of the story, but apparently only adults are reading this and bearing with the deadpan of this volume.In contrast with what every other review seems to indicate, I actually enjoyed the artwork, it may be obscure and intricate, but I like it, it fits. At least it brings some novelty to the uneventful narra...

In retrospect, it seems surprising that Marvel took this long to come up with their version of Hogwarts. Perhaps it’s for the best that it took so long, as it’s difficult to imagine someone pulling it off with the wonder and whimsy that Skottie Young, Humberto Ramos, and Edgar Delgado bring to the work.The story is centered on Emily Bright, a teenage girl who reaches out to Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme when she starts demonstrating an affinity for magic. In response, she’s invited to join a new acad...

Full disclosure, I tried reading this in single issues, but there were so many new characters to keep track of that I lost interest fairly early on. Re-reading it in collected form however, it's much easier to remember who's who, and I wholely enjoyed this.After the death and return of magic in Jason Aaron's Doctor Strange run, Stephen and his sorcerer friends have decided to open a school in New Orleans to train the next generation of magical heroes. Enter the first class of Strange Academy.The...
