Doom Academy
The Strange Academy students have a new school - and a new headmaster! Did you think Strange Academy would magically stay the same in a world where Doctor Doom reigns as Sorcerer Supreme?! Of course not! It's now Doom Academy! Relocated from New Orleans to Latveria, the best school of wizardry there ever was just got better (according to some). But as the students start their second year in greatly changed surroundings, you know things will not go as planned! When Zoe Laveau gets sucked into a fairy-tale book filled with childhood monsters, her friends and frenemies start the search for her - but find something far more troubling! What horrors lurk in this fantasy land, and what do they have to do with Doctor Doom?!

I didn’t know I needed Doctor Doom as the new headmaster of Marvel’s version of Hogwart’s but it turns out I did. This book was so much fun and had great artwork, too.

I have loved all of the Strange Academy stuff so far and now that the kids attend Doom Academy I’m still liking it. Doom Academy is kinda way cooler than Strange Academy, and from what I can see… Doom is a better headmaster. I liked the story of going into a book, they got creative with the art design that way. Can’t wait to see where the kids go next, wondering when they graduate? They seem pretty experienced at this point.
Review of advance copy
Strange Academy has had a rough go of it since the original series concluded (and even that was as a mini-series). A couple of one-shots, and now they seem to be relegated to event tie-in mini-series, with Blood Hunt previous to this, and now Doom Academy as part of the One World Under Doom banner.
At least we're still getting to see these characters, I guess. Or some of them - of the original class, we get Doyle, Zoe, and Shaylee, plus Zelma Stanton, plus a cast of new kids as the Strange Academy students merge with Doom Academy to form one big class for this new semester. Then Zoe gets dragged into an evil enchanted book, and well, things take a turn.
MacKenzie Cadenhead's plot is fairly tight, managing to split time between Zoe in the book and the rest of Doom Academy pretty evenly. The jokes land well (Mister Doombot might be my second favourite Doombot now after the Runaways Doombot), and the conclusion works with the rules established, given that we get a new type of magic introduced here too.
On art we have Pasqual Ferry for the Doom Academy bits, who's no stranger to this kind of setting after drawing 18 issues or so of Doctor Strange recently, and newcomer (?) Joao Lemos who pencils the book-stuff with a style that fits the fantasy storytelling aspect really well too, although the colour palette feels a bit too murky brown at times.
It's a shame we can't get more substantial Strange Academy these days, but I'll take what I can get.

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
Sorry not sorry, the strange academy kids have no personality and there was no significant change to a Doom academy that mattered. The main story of being trapped in books had nothing to do with anything. Would NOT give to a YA reader.

Too short! I need more of this crew. What’s next? Feel like Asgard Academy could definitely work! Either way, school for magic youngsters is such a no-brainer that it could and should run as long as a certain school for gifted youngsters. 4.2/5
