I did feel like I had missed some kinda context for this but eh I got enough to enjoy the premise of magic ghost Strange。 It was pretty fun。 Could always use more of Bats the Ghost Dog though。

This was a great story。 Some of the Dr。 Strange books haven't been bad but have left something to be desired。 This book is a great improvement and a great start to being true to form。I am not a mystery person but I liked this one very much。 If you enjoyed Knives Out， this is right up your alley。 It even has a "gather everyone in the parlor to announce the killer" moment。 The killer is a surprise but so obvious when you think about it。Give this a chance and enjoy！ This was a great story。 Some of the Dr。 Strange books haven't been bad but have left something to be desired。 This book is a great improvement and a great start to being true to form。I am not a mystery person but I liked this one very much。 If you enjoyed Knives Out， this is right up your alley。 It even has a "gather everyone in the parlor to announce the killer" moment。 The killer is a surprise but so obvious when you think about it。Give this a chance and enjoy！ 。。。more

I haven’t read much Dr。Strange so it’s hard for me to really appreciate the moments。

ZOUNDS。English/Spanish review:Wow，that was perfect。 From start to finish we see Stephen at his best。 From his present to his past。 Btw，I fucking loved old Strange being an arrogant fuck and the author gave us one hell of a detective story，simply and basic as that。 We've got all the cast，enemies and friends and one mistery。The villains were so good。 The three mothers and their child designs were awfully nice。 That damn baby frightened me。 Love that dog and old stephen relationship。Fucking hated h ZOUNDS。English/Spanish review:Wow，that was perfect。 From start to finish we see Stephen at his best。 From his present to his past。 Btw，I fucking loved old Strange being an arrogant fuck and the author gave us one hell of a detective story，simply and basic as that。 We've got all the cast，enemies and friends and one mistery。The villains were so good。 The three mothers and their child designs were awfully nice。 That damn baby frightened me。 Love that dog and old stephen relationship。Fucking hated he coming back to just die again two seconds later with the lame magic's got a price。 It's Magic。 I Ain't Gotta Explain Shit。Español:Guau，eso fue perfecto。 De principio a fin vemos a Stephen en su mejor momento。 De su presente a su pasado。 Por cierto， me encantaba que el viejo Strange fuera un hijo de puta arrogante y el autor nos dio una historia de detectives increíble，así de simple y básica。 Tenemos todo el elenco， enemigos y amigos y un misterio buenísimo。Los villanos eran tan buenos。 Los diseños de las tres madres y sus hijos eran terriblemente zarpados。 Ese bebé me dió miedo。Me encanta esa relación entre el perro y Stephen。Odié que volviese a morir de nuevo dos segundos después con la excusa patética que la magia tiene un precio。 Es magia。 No tengo que explicar un carajo。 。。。more

Pretty enjoyable。 Plenty here for those not too steeped in the Doctor's history， but lots of connections to past allies and adversaries。 I enjoyed Strange's contingency plan for his death， and the murder mystery aspect。 I didn't think a multidimensional level threat to existence was necessary， but luckily it didn't factor into the story much。 Pretty enjoyable。 Plenty here for those not too steeped in the Doctor's history， but lots of connections to past allies and adversaries。 I enjoyed Strange's contingency plan for his death， and the murder mystery aspect。 I didn't think a multidimensional level threat to existence was necessary， but luckily it didn't factor into the story much。 。。。more

So someone has killed Doctor Strange。 However， Strange had a small contingency plan。 He hid away a small piece of himself in the event something like this happened。 So now， this other self has come on to the scene。 But he only has a week before he disappears。 So now we get to follow this younger Strange as he gets his detective on trying to solve this murder mystery。 This was a fun ride。 A nice “ohhh” moment when he put it all together and we find out the why and how this happened。 Then in the e So someone has killed Doctor Strange。 However， Strange had a small contingency plan。 He hid away a small piece of himself in the event something like this happened。 So now， this other self has come on to the scene。 But he only has a week before he disappears。 So now we get to follow this younger Strange as he gets his detective on trying to solve this murder mystery。 This was a fun ride。 A nice “ohhh” moment when he put it all together and we find out the why and how this happened。 Then in the end we get switch moment where it’s like， ohh cool……wait oh nooo。 Definitely enjoyed this one。 。。。more

The Death of Dr。 Strange was a big crossover event in Marvel that spun out to touch and include several other titles， including the X-men and Avengers。 I am NOT a Dr。 Strange reader （though， maybe I should try it out more）， but given the outsized effect it was having， I figured it would be worth picking up the trade paperback。 Despite a lack of knowledge of Dr。 Strange lore， I enjoyed this storyline， which is formated as a classic mystery: Dr。 Strange is killed and the heroes have to a） figure o The Death of Dr。 Strange was a big crossover event in Marvel that spun out to touch and include several other titles， including the X-men and Avengers。 I am NOT a Dr。 Strange reader （though， maybe I should try it out more）， but given the outsized effect it was having， I figured it would be worth picking up the trade paperback。 Despite a lack of knowledge of Dr。 Strange lore， I enjoyed this storyline， which is formated as a classic mystery: Dr。 Strange is killed and the heroes have to a） figure out whodunit and b） deal with the consequences of the Sorceror Supreme of Earth being absent。 On one hand， the story is very much a straightforward mystery tale， with all the tropes that you'd expect。 On the other， you have the extremely creepy Peregrine Child and the Three Mothers which represent the consequences side。 Without knowing anything else about them， they lean into the horror side and are very different from the types of villans I see in X-men， for example。 The Peregrine Child tickles some memory that I can't quite put my finger on。。 I thought， maybe， the Time Suck from Saga， but that's not it。Anyway， fun story！ I don't know if the accompanying Companion paperback is really worth it （I bought a few of the actual comics - they're fine but not essential）。 As always with comics， I can't imagine there will be any long-lasting reprecussions from this， but who knows？ 。。。more

A surprisingly good event。 The murder mystery part is not quite as strong as it could be， but the whole thing works really well as a character piece about Doctor Strange。 Mackay continues to be one of my favorite superhero writers， and I'm certainly looking forward to more from him。 There are a bunch of related one shots， but those seem to all be collected in the Companion。 A surprisingly good event。 The murder mystery part is not quite as strong as it could be， but the whole thing works really well as a character piece about Doctor Strange。 Mackay continues to be one of my favorite superhero writers， and I'm certainly looking forward to more from him。 There are a bunch of related one shots， but those seem to all be collected in the Companion。 。。。more

En cuanto al aspecto de murder mystery， le hizo falta bastante para considerarse uno bueno。 Pero me gustó mucho la premisa de que un Dr。 Strange más joven fuera el que resolviera su propio asesinato y cómo jugaron con ella。

This was a solid adventure， entertaining and a turning point for the character （obviously）。 His death of course is not a surprise， it's more about solving the mystery of who did it， and just what contingency plans did Stephen have in place？ The story touches on who Stephen was before， when he first started out vs。 who he came to be; It also showcases just how much he was protecting everyone from and that's primarily what's covered in the Companion book （however， I don't recommend reading it and This was a solid adventure， entertaining and a turning point for the character （obviously）。 His death of course is not a surprise， it's more about solving the mystery of who did it， and just what contingency plans did Stephen have in place？ The story touches on who Stephen was before， when he first started out vs。 who he came to be; It also showcases just how much he was protecting everyone from and that's primarily what's covered in the Companion book （however， I don't recommend reading it and it isn't necessary。） Sadly， I think there are too many points to cover， all of them good， but with such a short mini-series the bulk of the time is moving the plot forward。 The end had one good surprise， two if you really count that last page。 I also liked the art as well。In the end， it's worth reading， but I wouldn't say any of this is particularly groundbreaking。 MacKay has been writing some solid material， but not quite the A-lister yet。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 it was an alright/fun storyline。 it kind of felt overly simple for a magic world that is so complex， but i also get that they had to wrap the whole thing in 5 issues。 I didnt read the issues from the other series， so maybe thats why。Clea looks like a cool new sorcerer supreme， but i do have to say i wouldve liked it to be illyana， especially considering the what if issue and how good it was。 all around a 3。5-4 stars comic （read in issues）

I tend to ignore anything titled "The Death of [。。。]" as this is invariably little more than a gimmick with little to no staying power， as the "death" of nearly any character has devolved beyond being a trope into being a mere farce。 And so I didn't care to read this title when it was announced as the latest of Marvel's many， many exhausting， way overdone events。 （There will also be a Companion volume with all the tie-in books which I have little to no hopes for。 I'll probably read it anyway。。。） I tend to ignore anything titled "The Death of [。。。]" as this is invariably little more than a gimmick with little to no staying power， as the "death" of nearly any character has devolved beyond being a trope into being a mere farce。 And so I didn't care to read this title when it was announced as the latest of Marvel's many， many exhausting， way overdone events。 （There will also be a Companion volume with all the tie-in books which I have little to no hopes for。 I'll probably read it anyway。。。）So why did I even buy this collection then？"The Death of Doctor Strange" got sufficiently positive reviews to make me curious （yes， marketing works on me。 I hate me。） and when I realized it is written by Jed Mackay， who has shown himself to be one of the better writers of Marvel's curret crop （the art by Lee Garbett is very good， too， BTW！）， I decided to give it a try。What can I say？ I am not disappointed。This is not an over-the-top great or genre-boundary redefining masterpiece， but it is a well-structured， entertaining story in which the titular character （sort of） gets to investigate and avenge his own murder， assisted by a cast of well-chosen supporting characters and guest-stars， before making way for what I hope is a lasting change in status quo at the end of this volume。The story does not answer all questions that come up due to the convoluted continuity of a long-running character such as Doctor Strange （mainly， why has the gimmick that allows Strange to investigate his own murder never activated in the past （it's not as if he hadn't been "dead" before。。。））， but it does deal with how much the character has changed over the decades。 And I am always a sucker for writers who appear to know and respect the continuity of the characters they take over for however long。 。。。more

Maybe this is a better story with all of the tie-ins， but the main volume itself was pretty anti-climactic and honestly fairly dull。 Also， I have been reading a bit of Doctor Strange lately-from silver age to more modern books-and the trope of someone simply walking into Strange's house and easily smoking him is a bit overused considering it is the sanctum of the sorcerer supreme。 So， I'm sure Strange will be back in a year or so （almost no one stays dead in comics， of course）， but I can't say I Maybe this is a better story with all of the tie-ins， but the main volume itself was pretty anti-climactic and honestly fairly dull。 Also， I have been reading a bit of Doctor Strange lately-from silver age to more modern books-and the trope of someone simply walking into Strange's house and easily smoking him is a bit overused considering it is the sanctum of the sorcerer supreme。 So， I'm sure Strange will be back in a year or so （almost no one stays dead in comics， of course）， but I can't say I'm sad to see him go。 Strange comics have been pretty bad over the last few years， with many runs consisting of Strange barely using any magic at all。 This whole "magic has a price so we can't use it" thing has been done to death by Marvel， with the only outcome being robbing a superhero of their powers and making him dull as dishwater。 I'm also not a huge fan of eliminating a character in order to replace them with a more politically acceptable character （don't get me wrong， there are a lot of great minority characters and more certainly need to be introduced， but new ones need to be made， not just used as last-minute replacements for established characters）， but I am interested to see where they go with the new sorcerer supreme。 。。。more
