Marvel Promises Things Will Never Be The Same For Strange Academy

Strange Academy is one of my favourite comic books at Marvel. Written by Skottie Young and drawn by Humberto Ramos, it tells the story of a magical school that is anything but Hogwarts. Set in Louisiana, it sees youngsters from across the Marvel Universe with some magical gift, living and studying together with familiar magical characters of note, including Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch and Illyana. The students are both humans with gifts – or indeed, just magical clothing – as well as the offspring of Asgardians, Frost Giants and the great god Dormammu. What could go wrong? Well, plenty, obviously, but as a comic book pretty much everything has gone right.

But in April 2022, Marvel is promising that things will never be the same at Strange Academy.  The kind of PR we've often heard, but in this case, Marvel are really doubling down on it, saying "Platitudes get thrown around a lot in these pages, but if you've been reading STRANGE ACADEMY, you know we don't mess around. So listen up. AFTER THIS ISSUE, THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AT STRANGE ACADEMY.  Seriously, you do not want to miss this issue that is going to destroy you emotionally and destroy the school beyond recognition."

And I'm going… hang on a minute. I want things to be the same. I really like Strange Academy.  Why would you do this, Marvel? Why? Should I just stop reading now to save myself the trauma? Because you seem to be doubling down on that as well. Maybe I do want to miss this issue after all…
