As I grow older and spend more time outside I realize: It's bullshit that we lose an hour to daylight savings time at this time of year. I want more daylight, not less!

Death of Doctor Strange is the best 'big change-up for Doctor Strange!' in years. For one, it's actually a step BACK for Strange, not a 'forward' step into 'Strange needs new magic!' yet again.

Back as in "closer to Classic Strange"?

Back as in "closer to Classic Strange"?

Some first issue plot spoilers

spoilers:

Doctor Strange arranged to have a special investigator come in should he ever die. That investigator being his own past self, from back before he became Sorceror Supreme

Jcogginsa pretty much nailed it.

spoilers:

It's basically a slice of his time - something like a week's worth - from back in the day, set up to investigate his own murder (should it transpire, which it has). With all of his old mannerisms, style of speech, and none of his current memories - he constantly gets surprised by revelations about his own life. So he has a week to solve his own death (and presumably fix it) while all kinds of terrible things are happening. I've said it before, but...Stephen is one heck of a prep-master.

Reminds me of when Tony Stark deleted his own mind to prevent information from falling into Norman Osborn’s hands, with the proviso in his will that he had to be assessed by his own personal physician before anyone else, and we had that final page image of Osborn screaming “Who the #%$! is Donald Blake?!”

So, watched the newest Death Battle, and spoilers:

Shao Khan wins. And the Next Time is Korra vs... Storm (X-Men). Honestly surprised by that, was expecting it to be either Delsin Rowe or Rey Palpatine to be her opponent.

Now this I really like.

Strange also appears in Al Ewing's current Defenders run, which is set before the Death of Doctor Strange event. That series involves Strange gathering a new team of defenders in order to track down a guy whose been using a dangerous time travel spell to go back to the previous Multiverse.

Thw second issue has a truly amazing tagline

Galactus' Mom has got it going on!

Battletech: Negotiated a job with some pirates to go break out one of their own from prison. Needed the job with Hope's of good salvage. The difficulty is apparently 2/5 and I've been careful with 1/5s so why not.

Got jumped by a well armed lance that proceeded to rip my forces apart and had to withdraw. I lost a Centurion, the Cicada was so damaged I ultimately scrapped it, two mechwarriors wounded with one out for 90+ days, and my reputation went down the toilet.

...Typical Battletech moment.
