I remember an issue of, “Wolverine and the X-Men,” that did this and I enjoyed it.
Multiple copies of Strange Academy 1 (Cover A) 9.8s have sold today.

My LCS gots me on a 5 copies of every regular Non Ratio Variant covers coming out.
I heard originally it was only going to be 6 or maybe 9 issues. Maybe I heard wrong.
Don’t think it was planned as a mini.
Aren’t all Marvel titles mini’s… the new mini-series standard is… let’s reboot the sucker after 20-25 issues…

Sorry, but wasn’t this an obvious buy when it first came out? Why is this news?
Just like Children of the Atom #1, United States of Captain America #1, and all other #1 books with new characters that Marvel keeps churning out…
The only “obvious” thing is that people keep hoping for some kind of media news. Without the current climate and spec thinking, these would be dollar bin books…

when its a mini the title looks like this on previews, with the (of 5) SA never had that.
Been a great story so far. I would put Strange Academy way ahead of those books just because of the totally new ensemble cast, less derivation and intrigueing content.
just my 2cts

Perhaps in a world without Disney+. They need content. And lot’s of it.
Further, the Disney of today is not the Disney we grew up with. Their perspective on the world has shifted. They need new characters in order to convey their message without fear of alienating Gen X while appealing to the younger generations.
It’s not hope. It’s risk/reward.

They also need new characters cause sooner rather than later, a lot of the big names are gonna start fast approaching the public domain on rights…

That makes no sense. Disney+ has PLENTY of content. Decades and decades of movies and tv shows, plus all of the FOX movies.
You can spin “hope a tv show/movie happens” spec all you want, but thats a bad way of buying new books. New characters take 7+ years of publication before seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. The reason they push characters into the spotlight is to sell toys/games, etc, not comics.

Yeah, after the 856th Captain America and Spider-man, they could use a few more interesting non-derivative new characters that stick for Disney+.
Most of the content was also in the past, and framed for that generation and affected strongly by the negative stereotypes in some cases. They definitely can pull from that, but it doesn’t hurt to not stay static and add more to the existing database.
Yet, having a new Captain America, a new Hawkeye, a new Hulk, a new Iron man is perfectly fine for you…those arent new concepts/characters. They are rehashes. They are placeholders. It’s like someone said that there needs to be this type of character shoved into the spotlight, because hey, they look familiar and thats what the audience will recognize.
