Strange Academy

Strange Academy 1-6

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this comic.  In fact, there’s a lot that’s good.  Skottie Young’s come up with an awesome, distinctive cast of students who have great rapport with each other.  Humberto Ramos draws the crap out of it and Edgar Delgado’s colors are befitting a crazy school of magic.  By all accounts, I should love this book.  It’s fun.

And yet.  All of these wonderful elements don’t click.  It’s missing that certain… special… something.  It’s still an enjoyable read, but not enough that I wanted to get the second trade the first time around.  Present me agrees, and really wishes this was just a little bit more interesting on the story side.
