The fourth Absolute Sandman volume completes the main story arc of the series, combining disparate elements and characters to produce a finale that I did not expect at all at the beginning. Initially I struggled with not being able to discern how anything related to anything else but the second half...
See, when magic died his spell died, the spell that allowed him to forget something to keep this great, and terrible, power at bay. Not sure I really buy the ending, but overall, this was a creepy story that forced him to rethink how he treats the people he's helping. The fact that he's willing...
Not sure why 20 came out after issue 21, though? But it was nice to find another Aaron issue, and one not connected to Secret Empire! When Zelma's life is put on the line for Doctor Strange, he finds himself compelled to consider a solution that will save her life - but also change it forever. ...
Well, Misery has taken over Wong and is fighting Dr. Strange. Still, it's hard when Wong knows all of Dr. Strange's secrets. Also, the way that Strange beats Misery is heartbreaking, and his attempt to make things up to Wong are sweet, even if he doesn't get all the details right! Love, love, ...
Wong has been taken by Mr. Misery, and Doctor Strange goes on a desperate search for his closest friend. Because as much as it would seem that Wong is a servant, the truth is that he knows all the secrets of The Sanctum Santorum, he would do anything for Strange - and it isn't a one-sided relation...
This is what the whole series has been building up to so far: a fight between a less powered Dr. Strange and Dormammu. And it's pretty epic, as everything revolves around getting them together, and then Dormammu points out everything he has - and that Stephen does not. I was absolutely into t...
There's a new series called Dr. Strange the Sorcerer's Supremes which I assumed meant this was canceled. I've been reluctant to read this issue, saving my last of Aaron's Strange. Since I refuse to read him as written by many authors - who I feel get his compassionate side wrong, in that it's no...
Magic is still struggling and it's up to Doctor Strange to find it, to protect it, and to curate new magic, putting together new spell books as he gets accustomed to this changed magic. To be honest, I didn't read last days of magic; I only read the main series. I didn't want the time suck or mo...
I was feeling down today so I treated myself to a comic. I have a new Vision so I may deviate from my original plan and read that soon, too. This was the grand finale and it was worthy of that, although it didn't, of course, fix everything. There's still no magic, because it's all dead, so I ...
I needed some comfort reading, and Marvel comics always does it. It really helps that Jason Aaron, one of my favorite Marvel writers, penned this issue. It helps even more that he nails Doctor Strange, whose greatest gift is his compassion in my opinion. Not many people get how hardwired that ...
