    I want to give it a try, but at the same time, a teen ongoing with "academy" in the title? Never ends well.

    To be fair, both New X-Men: Academy X and Avengers Academy fell victim to linewide relaunches (X-Men: Decimation and Marvel NOW! respectively).

    The big problem isn't the name, it's the cast. Are any of these kids existing characters?

    As far as I am aware, the students are all new characters. But the instructors seem to be established characters. So you get a mix of both. Get to connect with characters you know, and meet and learn about new ones.

    The flaming kid is Dormammu's bastard. That's all.

    But I guess Shaman, Magik and others will appear as teachers.

    Still a shame that for Marvel comics, a whole new cast of characters speels doom for a book, when you compare that to other medias where new things can still make huge hits.

    There's a purple fairy girl in sitting in the front there, I guess they'd rather use her in this new class than Pixie

    Eh, this seems like a good idea being introduced at the wrong time. I say that Marvel is over a decade too late if they want to cash-in on the Harry Potter zeitgeist.

    Since Hellstrom is going to be a guest teacher should his daughter Demona transfer over from Doctor Doom's school to Strange Academy?

    Daimon having a daughter who looks like she's on her mid to late teens is such a weird, random plot point that I still don't get, specially considering it went nowhere after this book. Like, where the heck did she come from? There was zero explanation as to why she was there. And it's like she's never existed ever since, even though Daimon has appeared in quite a few books. I mean, I'm not against her coming back, but hopefully they manage to find an actual purpose for her if she is ever brought back, 'cause it doesn't look like much thought was put at all into her creation.
