It could be priority, but also just where those books were at when the shortage hit. I'm sure they do prioritize big events, because those are their money. But also some issues were probably further in development.

Here's the Marvel announcement.

I'm a bit torn, but if they _had_ to go this way, I'm very happy with the choice. Happy with the creative team too. Though, I'm hoping for a different costume.

I'm on board for this. I didn't think it was possible but I assume MacKay has a plan, and he's been top notch on the DoDS mini series so far. As I said in the other thread about the new title, I'm surprised but in a good way.

The only choice it could be given how the last 2 issues played out. Not sure why they made the announcement a week early.

I prefer it to some of the other options that might have happened.

I'm not crazy about the premise, and I think the character has too much baggage, but it should be better than Jericho's tenure, at least.

How do they have too much baggage? They are barely in comics ever.

Their family, mostly. And the various responsibilities they have had because of it.

I trust the writer, but it seems odd that this particular character would feel beholden to protect the Earth dimension.

Yes it certainly wasn't hard to work out, it won't last long though, poor sales $$$ will force Marvel to make the change back especially with the MCU Doctor Strange movie Multiverse of Madness' upcoming release..

Their family and various responsibilities aren't really that much baggage though. Not anymore than any other character in the MCU. Voodoo had baggage from family. Any of their possible candidates had more.

Slightly off topic here, but in WandaVision it was established that when a witch used runes, it was sort of a spell to inhibit another witch's power. Runes in the MCU form a basic protection spell, within which "only the witch that cast the runes can use her magic." I thought that was a really creative magical "rule" introduced by Schaeffer's writing team...Or was it? Is this something that happened in the comics? And why do you think Strange also knows how to use runes in the MCU? He's not descended from a line of warlocks!:



By the way, I think runes look really cool on screen. I actually believe that Marvel Studios is doing a better job of explaining magical "rules" as opposed to time travel/multiversal ones. I totally thought it would be the other way around.
