Jun 12, 2024These Strange Academy students are very likable, and I'm pulling for Pia and German to remain friends through this. Read Full Review

I couldn't decide whether or not to give this a 5.5/10 or a 6.0/10, so I decided on the latter since I thought the art here was pretty good. The writing just isn't all that engaging to me, especially with Doom randomly showing up at the end. I appreciated the story of Germán dealing with finding out that Pia is a vampire, though I felt like it could have been handled a bit better as well.

I WANT to like this. I think the story has a fundamentally sound shape, the characters are appealing, and the art is excellent (particularly for a collaboration).
But the pace is so fast and the dialogue is so simplistic that the kids end up looking like morons every time they discover new information and change course. (And also, the world they journey through seems suspiciously unaffected by the vampire apocalypse.)
Perhaps this story needs more pages to breathe. And perhaps it's been scripted for a younger audience, but in a haphazard way.
