Doctor Strange is one of the few Marvel superheroes that I would read their origin story over and over again. Stephen and Wong and Sofia made a great team, and I really enjoyed reading how Strange comes into his powers. The art style took a bit to get used to, but I ended up liking it; it really fit with the story. And at the end of the main story, when you see Doctor Strange in his superhero uniform for the first time? I may have squealed aloud at like 12:30 in the morning. Cos I'm a dork and excited by grown men in mystical magician costumes with orange spotted gloves. There's also a teaser chapter for a related title by Matt Fraction, who is on my must read list of comic authors - so I'll certainly be checking out Defenders as well. Among others, there's Doctor Strange and She-Hulk and a Namor I actually want to care about! (Insert obligatory rally cry of RAUL ESPARZA FOR MCU!DOCTOR STRANGE here.) no reviews | add a review

That said, the fresh tinkerings to the details while keeping much of the origin story the same worked for me. The art, at times, was muddled and didn't further the story as I might have liked, but it grows on me with rereadings. ( )
