Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I am telling myself, as I impatiently wait for Dr. Strange to bust out in a comic. I know they will deliver, but the wait is difficult. New Avengers, while I appreciate the build up, is waiting so long to show us Strange powered up.
Looking at the comments about voicing the spells, or having the footnotes I am half and half. The thing I have always appreciated about Strange is that you felt this guy learned something, learned it well, and isn't just firing out bolts of light that do what he wants. So the spell saying is nicely dramatic, but the footnotes also indicate that he wasn't just spouting random poetry at his foes. Either is better than what we've had lately, which is nothing, or him in the background firing bolts. I think the only time I am recalling in this current run that he has done something else is tracking down Thanos' son and teleporting.
That being said, I am looking forward to him interacting with the Punisher in Original sin, and obviously I can't wait for a Strange-focused NA annual. Summer will be nice, I am sure.
