Master of the Mystic Arts: Doctor Strange Appreciation

[Reviresco]

The creative team that did New Avengers Annual, imo, should have been the creative team for the new ongoing...

That Annual was amazing...

I really liked that creative team also, especially the artist, but he, Marco Rudy, is on the Bucky book. But the writer isn't doing a regular book.

I'd love to see Lemire & Sorrentino re-team for a Strange book....

Would Sorrentino's style work for a mystical book? The grittiness was good for Green Arrow, but Doctor Strange?

Warren Ellis/Marcos Martin!

What makes a comic a 'hipster book'? What would a hipster Dr. Strange comic be like?

I knew I shouldn't have used that word the moment I typed it. Lol. This works though:

Style over substance. A book about Dr. Strange's mundane, everyday matters. Dr. Strange saying 'bro' all the time.

Speaking of, I'd rather not see lothario Dr. Strange, either.

I'm just afraid Marvel will go this route because it's translated to decent sales for some other books starring B - D listers. One instance it worked well was Fraction's Hawkeye; one instance it doesn't is the current Batgirl book.

The second text msgs replace dialogue and Doc starts using Instagram is the second I'm finally done with Marvel...

You tell me:

What are those glowing round things? They look more like Iron Man's arc reactors. And are those batteries floating around him?

I don't know. I do like Sorrentino's art for some things, but his work tends to be about the figures. They don't always integrate with the backgrounds, which some times are too photoshopped for my taste.

Don't say that! It's inevitable that Strange will have to start using modern conveniences.

But I understand your fears completely. I'm not too keen on seeing Dr. Strange completely 'reinvented.'

I think Batgirl does the whole "trendy" thing pretty well. Though I agree that it would not work on the doctor (mainly because he isn't a young adult girl loving in the hipsteriest neighborhood of his city).

That being said, I could see the neighborhood around the Sanctum Santorum become really popular for internet cafes just so we can have Strange flippantly roll his eyes at the patrons. He can even find a contact with an outlandish Tom Baker scarf.

Well, Strange has been shown/mentioned to use computers. To keep apprised of news etc, and apparently hockey scores. I guess writers think because he was raised in Nebraska that would be his thing. There really shouldn't be instagrams, when he has the Illusions of Ikonn. I am sure they have better visuals than anything we can download off the internet. Just sayin'

I believe this is Iron Man. I do like the style quite a lot.

Is Doctor Strange possessing Iron Man? Cause someone in panel thinks that's Strange. Plus he has an eye on one hand. It's a bit confusing.

LOL! Of course.

But it's the whole 'share everything with complete strangers' culture that I don't see Strange having much interest in.

Hockey scores? Does Nebraska even have a team?

Clea is correct. That is actually Tony Stark, who becomes Sorcerer Supreme in a possible future (the top photo is Magik, who gained the mantle in a DIFFERENT possible future). The speaker confused them (it's the beard )
