I’ve yet to read this current series, despite having already picked it up ths far, but I already miss the last run. It took a minute to warm up to Aaron’s run, but I was all in by the time Hopeless and Cates came on board. That Niko Henrichson art was pretty amazing too.

If you mean the comic, she showed up at the end of the last run.

Yes, the art is beautiful. I love the way the alien world's look.

Well, if Dormammu's realm lacks linear time, it's impossible for her to grow up as his niece. Originally Posted by Clea

You could have her be a worshipper/acolyte of Dormy if you wanted to bring the Mindless Ones and/or the Guranthic Guardian along.

Compared with the mess that was Aaron's run, this is almost gold standard, and I love seeing the Cloak of Levitation in issue 4. Originally Posted by Gamma Irradiated Being

Wow, that bad. There was a time I thought Jason Aaron could do no wrong. I didn't read any of that run. Was there anything good about it? Originally Posted by origami

In my opinion, only… Originally Posted by Gamma Irradiated Being

Zelma Stanton.
The Bar With No Doors and its regulars
The shapeshifting Cloak of Levitation.
Bachalo's art.
CONS:
The characterization of Strange, Wong, and the Ancient One (in flashback).
Stephen's Frank Zappa-looking 'stache and his Renfaire wannabe redesign.
The Empirikul.
Mister Misery.
Depowering Stephen (again) and replacing his powers with that blasted axe.
The "price of magic" that showed up in no other book and basically affected no other character, especially the whole "unable to eat human food" bit.
The "death of magic", which ALSO showed up in no other book and basically affected no other character.
The pacing. By the Vishanti, it took forever to get anything done.
Aaron is a good (not great) writer, and has created some interesting characters and concepts. But I would opine that he prefers to warp existing characters to fit his ideas, rather than adapt to what has come before. If his run had been about a completely new character, it would rate a lot higher in my book, but as it is, it's a decent story about magic, but a piss-poor one about Doctor Strange.Last edited by DigiCom; 09-09-2018 at 06:32 PM.

Issue #4 legitimately blew my mind by introducing a way of viewing Strange that had never occurred to me in decades of reading him.
That's a sign of a brilliant writer and I can't wait to see where Waid takes Strange going forward.
And, of course, the beautiful Saiz art makes the whole package that much better.
