Strange Academy: Bright Side by Skottie Young, Humberto Ramos
4.0
On the fence if this is not as good as the first volume or just as good. Either way I love this series and the new cast it introduced.
This volume seems to focus on select characters rather than trying to flesh them all out like in the first volume. This volume focuses more on Doyle, Emily, and Calvin. I guess I like that approach rather than cramming all this stuff in. Still not really a fan of Emily as the MC, but I do like her relationship with Doyle. Doyle is still my favorite, I love him. And I like what they did with his character. This volume is like weirdly focusing on coupling a bunch of the students up also, so if you're into a side romance or two than today's your lucky day.
The story seems a bit more focused, I liked the latter half more than first part dealing with the afermath of the first volume. I just didn't like how it was structured, starting in media res and flashbacking, it gets rid of the stakes.
There's just alot to like about this, I think it's a good intro to the comic side of Marvel for how many characters in introduces. If you already know a bit about them at least.
I just really like the volume and series, it's full of heart, a bit cheesey, and has an amazing cast.
