I have been drawing as self taught for the past five year and I think I hit a ceiling so I am considering enrolling in a part time degree or an evening/weekend course in London or Online that focus on Marvel style. Anyone could suggest few good options? Thanks!

P.s. I have already used tons of Udemy, Schoolism, drawabox (of course :D) etcc.. and several of most common books. I think I need right now something more structured with a mentor that reviews my work.

I'd recommend asking this over on /r/learnart instead (you'll get a wider spread of people from outside of those specifically focused on Drawabox, so hopefully more people with experience with different courses and online schools). That said, as far as online courses go, CGMA and Brainstorm School are great schools that offer dedicated feedback for each student, although the only one on which I was able to find anything related to comics was this course from CGMA. Just keep in mind that these kinds of courses (given the live feedback) are by their nature quite expensive.

If you can afford them, I'd certainly recommend going for them, but if you can't, another option would be this Intro to Sequential Art course from New Masters Academy. Full disclosure, NMA is a new sponsor to Drawabox (which also means we've been provided with a coupon code, "DRAWABOX22" that gets you 35% off your first billing cycle). Keep in mind however that their courses (aside from the live ones) do not include any feedback, and that is reflected in the price.
