This book really is something special, a must-read for any mystic fan. Read Full Review

Humberto Ramos is a master at action and that is evident in the energetic imagery used throughout this issue. The characters look fantastic and there are some beautiful details in every page. A great looking issue from start to finish. Read Full Review

All in all, Strange Academy #6 created a drastic shift in tone that you just were not prepared for from this book. This is a dangerous world these kids have been brought into, and now everyone better understands how seriously that should be taken. Read Full Review

The ending has me curious on what will happen next, if I get a Doctor Strange movie reference in the next issue I may role my eyes because I know exactly where they may go if it does happen. I understand Young is in control of a lot of characters at the moment but there's got to be a way to show these children actually attending the Academy. If not, this series may be just be a trade wait for me. Read Full Review

As usual, I was swept away by Issue #6 and am already eagerly awaiting Issue #7. The artwork, coloring and presentation by Humberto Ramos and their whole team was splendid. Each panel presented an almost 3D image of what was happening to students, teachers and and transitions. I also enjoyed the fonts depicting different characters so I had no trouble following the group discussions. Now to plot. As Marvel has been endlessly demonstrating that "with great power comes great responsibility" and now "using magic has a price." After the events in this issue, the faculty members have a lot of explaining to do for the students about why their magic costs so much outside the school grounds. While our resident Zombie Zoe was outed, she and Toth managed to delay the Hollow bad guys so everyone could regroup and get away. When the cavalry does arrive, Emily Bright has launched everything but her soul into avenging Doyle and the other students are certainly in need of recharge. Normally I would be weeping copiously for Doyle Dormammu not only for his untimely death, but now also wondering how Daddy Dormammu would react to the news. Would Dormammu blame Dr. Strange for letting his kid die and charge in to destroy the earth...let alone the school? Would Aunt Umar help her brother do this? Would cousin Clea suddenly get her memory back and help Dr. Strange defend the earth from Dormammu and Umar? YET,I remember clearly how in issues #3 and #5 Doyle's encounter with the fortune-teller Ms. Hazel ended up with a piece of Doyle's life force stuck in her giving her repeated visions of what she saw in him. So in the spirit of "let's bring another character back to life," that Marvel has done numerous times, I do not count Doyle out yet. Love the Doyle dynamic with Emily that has been built up so killing him off forever would have repercussions for wasted time and effort. I predict Doyle will get the piece of him back from Ms. Hazel and he will return. This Issue #6 was FANTASTIC! I have been enjoying Strange Academy even more than the King In Black Saga that everyone is supposed to be oooing and aaaahing about now. Strange Academy rules and I give this issue a 10 out of 10! :) more

The students try and fail to save themselves, then get rescued by well-timed grown-up intervention. It comes too late to shield them from serious consequences, though. Some stakes-raising casualties ramp up the tension nicely, and the art is back on an uptick. This issue borders right on the edge of greatness, particularly if previous ones have succeeded in making you care about the kids.

Hey, I went into this expecting something bland, but I actually liked this issue. Wasn't amazed by it or anything, but it was a good time.

Bad action in the beginning. Don't even know what hit Shaylee in it.
