Strange Academy #1

	Citation:
	Press Release Through its history, the Marvel Universe has seen magic rise and fall to warp minds, control the future, and even destroy the very fabric of reality. Now, magic has changed and is more powerful – and dangerous – than ever, and Doctor Strange is forced to do what he’s avoided for decades: he’s opened a school for young sorcerers…but as they will soon learn, magic always comes at a cost. Welcome to STRANGE ACADEMY! Announced by the Associated Press, STRANGE ACADEMY will launch this March as a new ongoing series helmed by best-selling comic book veterans: Eisner Award-winning writer Skottie Young (Deadpool, Rocket Raccoon) and critically acclaimed artist Humberto Ramos (Amazing Spider-Man, Champions). The new series will bring together a whole new class of students from Earth, Weirdworld, Asgard, the Dark Dimension, and beyond to learn how to control their gifts in the Mystic Arts under Doctor Strange, Brother Voodoo, The Ancient One, Scarlet Witch, Magik, Hellstrom, and all of Marvel’s most iconic magicians. But with a new threat looming on the horizon, is it too late? “What we’re really trying to do is tell those classic coming of age stories that we’ve seen in so many other properties or other projects out there in the world whether it be TV or film or novels or comics,” Young told the AP. “Whether it’s kids running around mazes or kids at a magic school or people running around trying to survive a post-apocalyptic landscape.” “Over a year ago, I was driving Skottie down from the airport in Mexico, and out of the blue, he asked me what I wanted to do after working on Spider-Man,” said Ramos. “He began to pitch me on an incredible project for the rest of the weekend…and I’m excited to now say that project is STRANGE ACADEMY! Like all great stories, they all start with an idea…and this idea blew me away. We can’t share too much yet, but if you stick around, you’ll get to experience magic like you’ve never seen before in the Marvel Universe. Welcome to Strange Academy! Man, I love the first day of school!” STRANGE ACADEMY will center on Emily Bright (a girl who discovered magical powers since birth), Doyle Dormammu (the illegitimate son of the Dark Dimension’s ruler), and their new classmates as mysteries begin to unfold not just for the students at the school, but for the entire Marvel Universe. With a new cast rooted in Marvel’s history and fan-favorite characters, this series will be the perfect introduction for both fans just diving into comics and for fans who have been following Marvel for years. Set in the mystical backdrop of New Orleans, The Big Easy will play a pivotal role in STRANGE ACADEMY with its rich local culture and innate magic of the French Quarter, the Bayou, the Swamps, and more. To capture the essence of STRANGE ACADEMY, Young and Ramos conducted their research firsthand. “There’s a nice history and folklore about magic and the mystic arts and the dark arts and things like that that kind of surround the mythos of New Orleans,” said Young. “Having just gone there myself for my 40th, I thought that would be a great place to set it.”

Ah ben voilà un truc qui pourrait être sympa ! ^^

C'est plutôt joli pour du Ramos, ça fait envie.

Et ça a l'air de bien exploiter l'univers partagé: une Géante des Glaces, un Asgardien, un gamin du roaume de Crystar du Weirdworld, un bâtard de Dormammu, le Mindful One de "Dr Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme"

Et ça se voit que Young aime bien Pixie: il a carrément créé une copie d'elle, avec la même personnalité. Du coup, il aurait pu prendre l'originale, vu que les séries X n'en font rien.

Espérons que young est un scénario cette fois. Mais adorant Ramos j’en suis.

Oui, je suis surpris, c'est du Ramos assez joli qui donne très envie. Et pourtant, je ne suis pas du tout un fan habituellement, mais là ça me tente bien !

Je suis exactement comme toi. Je trouve ces planches super généreuses et super attachantes.

Mine de rien, Young s'impose en scénariste, il a géré Deadpool ou Bully Wars sans soucis. Ça n'était pas de la littérature mais ça se tenait, il maîtrise les codes.

[Tony LETROUVÉ]

La série commence plutôt bien, la lecture de cet épisode me confirme dans le fait de continuer le titre.

Miss EsseJi l'a lu hier soir et a adhéré tout de suite!

Il faudra voir quand Ramos se sera cassé.

Ramos est un artiste fiable. Il n'a pas pour habitude de se barrer au bout de quelques épisodes.

[EsseJi]

C'est pas la fiabilité de Ramos qu'on remet en cause, juste la politique de Marvel qui remplace vite ses dessinateurs dès le deuxième arc. Elle est loin l'époque des Claremont/Byrne qui tenaient sur le moyen et long terme. Je suis d'accord avec Scarlet, on n'est pas à l'abris d'une mauvaise surprise sur la suite.
