6.7/10
A strange and otherworldly story, suitable for the character. At first i was a bit lost and I'm not 100% sure that by the end i understood everything. Might worth another read
The highlight is the art, it's vibrant and it has fluidity.
Quite a different read from the rest of the Marvel titles.

Beautiful chaos. I'm going to need to read it a second time to understand what actually happened.

Well...it's a hard to follow story..but amazingly beautifully drawn...with dynamic spreads.

This was……..interesting. I’ve read books with Tradd Moore’s art, but never a book he wrote. I found this a tad hard to follow. I was vaguely understanding what was going down. Thank goodness for that issue #3 where a character did a rundown of what was happening. Two entities ruled this realm. One wanted to leave to explore and did so. This pissed off the other one who started ruling the land like an evil dick. The one who left came to our realm and wanted Doctor Strange to deliver her child in this realm and in hers. It would be a tall task and Strange could die. The rest got really cloudy and I was only getting the gist of it. The artwork however was amazing. So glad I got this giant treasury edition. Trade’s art looked stunning blown up extra large. Some of those fight sequences were crazy just like in Silver Surfer Black. So and interesting plot, dope art and some cool characters but not the easiest to keep up with.

All right, I'm seeing all these glowing reviews from people who read it, but didn't understand it and will have to go back and try again. I'm gonna be honest...
This was garbage. Utter garbage.
The art? Yes, it's pretty, but almost mostly meaningless. Literally, there's pages that are simply Moore drawing pretty stuff that really just takes up space and neither adds to the story nor does anything to make this incomprehensible mess more understandable.
Tradd Moore draws well, there's no question. And he looks like he graduated from the School of How To Draw Like The Beatles Yellow Submarine Movie.
But if there's actually a story here, I can't find it. I can find a lot of words. Many of them repeated ad nauseum, as Moore seems like he has found a few phrases that bear writing over and over again, like some after-school detention punishment.
Yes, he gets Strange into strange places, with strange people, but it's also like he forgot that Dr. Strange is, first and foremost, a Sorcerer Supreme. Instead, he has him bust out a little magic at the beginning that goes nowhere.
Tradd Moore ultimately gives the Sorcerer Supreme all the magic skills of a Taco Supreme.
Absolutely not worth the paper it's printed on. Don't waste your time.

A very gorgeous really utterly overwhelming book that I feel I cannot dedicate enough attention towards. If I could master my own distracted mind I could probably write blog posts about every spread in this book.
Trad Moores art seems to abjure shading or the carefully maintained illusions of depth and to communicate almost entirely through line. His world is one of, if not objects, then at least shapes, but the shapes always _flow_.
He abandons panels for much of the book, trusting to our eyes and his own compositions to lead us though the events, which, since they are not broken by panels, are all seemingly *one* event. Some of the flows of panel into scene are so intuitive they nearly broke my mind. If panels turn time into space, then the abandonment of panels turns spacetime into an object, a sensible _thing_. (Speed lines are this nearly). This method finds remarkable new purposes for flowing materials, in particular Dr Stranges cloak which flows through the action, becoming almost like a combination of time and action. Moore is trusting your eye to tell you the time.
(I was going to say he never drew a straight line in his life but there are a few.)
This is a very earnest hippy story of reconciliation and renewal, rebirth and resurrection. Very private paracosm, high old fantasy, pre-Tolkein, more E.R. Eddison and James Branch Cabell. Huge respect for going all in on the fantasy designs. Medieval artists would appreciate the bleeding skies. Somewhat American Therapy Paracosm, I have seen a few, but sincerity and high high high invention will get you a LONG way with me. Its all in sights territory now regardless. A lovely comic.

You can read my full review for No Flying No Tights here.
The TL:DR is that you should pick up the physical book for this one, it's a gorgeous oversized volume of Tradd Moore art that take 2 reads to absorb. The story itself isn't world changing, but in conjunction with the art it really was a great time.

I have no words. This is the best comic I’ve read this year.

A trippy Dr. Strange story where he wakes up in a different world and has to figure out what's going on. I mostly understood the story, I think. I'm not sure if it was a metaphor for something but if it was, it went over my head. The artwork was far out. Although it was a bit abstract, it still wasn't too hard to distinguish the characters. I mostly read this while eating breakfast during late September, but I'm not sure if that did anything to affect my enjoyment of Fall Sunrise.

Il va falloir que je le relise pour être sure de bien tout comprendre mais magnifique !!!!! J’adore quand les comics embrassent le bizarre, s’éloignent du dessin évident habituel, et plongent vraiment dans l’originalité et le « nouveau »

Tradd Moore se pone gnóstico y fracasa un poco-bastante. Lejos de apoyarse en la mitología del personaje, crea un entorno nuevo que ni tiene carisma ni facilita la comprensión de lo que quiere contar. Por otro lado, nada complejo (un relato de fantasía pedestrillo), desplegado con un lenguaje pretendidamente alegórico que dota a su historia de una pátina de falsa trascendencia. Menos mal que después tenemos su dibujo, superexpresivo, una representación pop de Druillet pasado por el filtro de Heinz Edelmann. Hay algún combate en el que cuesta ver lo que pasa, pero resulta bonito de mirar. Y aquí creo que conviene enfatizar la diferencia con su Silver Surfer Black: prescindir de un guionista que supiera hacer algo más que dar rienda suelta a la creatividad del dibujante. 'nuff said.

The artwork/paneling in this book is like no comic I have ever read. It is absolutely amazing. A written review doesn't do it justice, just go look at some images of this book. Especially the fight scenes. I've never seen a more executed doctor strange fighting scene. You could see the fluidity in the fight (and usually I'm not the biggest fan of doctor strange fights, as it is often people standing and just saying random spells).
The story was interesting, although not mind blowing. I couldn't put down the book due to the art.

Want to love this more than I do. I'm such a big fan of what Moore goes for stylistically. I also don't think he's a bad writer, for his first outing it's pretty good. But I also find the way he lays out a page and composes panels to be disorienting, with a focus more on style than actual function. And yet, there are a lot of moments in this that leave me speechless. It's worth further study in the future, knowing where the story goes will definitely help me piece together what I missed. And I will definitely be reading anything else Moore writes/draws in the future.

«Perdido en mis pensamientos, a menudo me pregunto… ¿Cómo lo hacemos? ¿Cómo sobrevivimos a un día? Me falla el cuerpo. La mente me aflige. La crueldad y el odio y el poder y el destino, todos gritan pidiendo sangre… dientes manchados de rojo con nuestros hermanos… ¡Pero insistimos! ¡Qué osadía! ¡Qué descaro! ¡El imposible valor humano necesario para levantarte y enfrentarte a cada amanecer! Aún así, algunos mantienen: “Además, tendré compasión. Más allá de esto, perdonaré”. ¿Cómo podrías no inspirarme? Os amo, no amados. Os amo, condenados. Os amo mucho mis abandonados y destrozados compañeros”.»
Llevo muchos años leyendo cómic, y de cuando en cuando me encuentro con cosas como este “Amanecer de Otoño” que me hacen re-enamorarme del medio.
Normalmente limito lo que leo al universo DC, por simplificar, pero al ver este libro en una estantería no pude apartarme de él.
Sus enormes páginas estaban llenas de ilustraciones lisérgicas, rebosando color y formas de lo más extrañas. Casi es un libro para poner en una mesa de café y abrirlo simplemente para disfrutar de sus ilustraciones. Aunque en muchos casos estas ilustraciones pueden resultar confusas, esto te fuerza a mirarlas bien para comprenderlas, lo que asegura que uno le presta la debida atención al arte de Tradd Moore, que es increíble.
Pero es que la historia también está a la altura. Aunque es bastante compleja de seguir (tendré que releerlo al menos un par de veces), la trama es auto-conclusiva y no requiere de demasiado conocimiento del personaje para poderla seguir (con haber visto la película “Doctor Extraño” de 2016 es más que suficiente).
En esta historia, Stephen Strange es convocado a un mundo místico en el que forma y contenido mantienen una lucha milenaria para ayudar a dar a luz a una nueva entidad cósmica. A través de su viaje enfrentará pruebas e irá recuperando sus recuerdos, haciéndose consciente del peso de su tarea y de su importancia.
En último término, es una maravilla visual a la que el formato le favorece, y que nos deja una historia que invita a la reflexión e introspección.
Lo recomiendo mucho, más aún si no se está del todo familiarizado con el mundo del cómic, porque este es uno de esos libros que abren puertas para los no iniciados.

4,5/5 Muligvis de smukkeste illustrationer, jeg nogensinde har set i en bog. Hvilken fantastisk overraskelse. Samlede denne her op fra en udstilling på biblioteket mest af alt, fordi den var komisk stor. Hvad jeg så ikke havde regnet med var, at der indeni ventede en af de mest farverige, ekspansive, dynamiske, levende tegneserier, jeg endnu har set.
’Psykedelisk’ er et ord, der nok hovedsageligt bliver brugt om noget lidt navlepillende, irriterende kaotisk nørklende druggy rock – og der siger det mig intet – men Fall Sunrise er psykedelisk i ordets allermest positive forstand. En æstetisk blanding af en masse stilarter, heriblandt helvedesinfernalsk Lovecraft-gys, Steve Ditko-farveladekollager og -figurdesign, Dark Souls-gotik – alt sammen i spillevende, dybe, mættede farver.
Eksplosive, enormt skarptskårne kampscener, dragende mystisk, mytisk lore, så mange visuelle referencer til graviditet og fødsler, Stephen Strange som en elegant, svævende soft boy med enorme kræfter. Suset i kroppen, når han åbner The Eye of Agamotto og går sorcerer surpreme på sine fjender. Damn, damn damn. Føles virkelig stor og episk.

God I've missed psychedelic Dr. Strange, and even more so I've missed the gorgeous artwork of Tradd Moore. I fell in love with his work on Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider, and this was a match made in heaven.
This run gives off serious Alan Moore era Swamp Thing vibes, and I dig it. The colors, the swirls, the trippy departures to form from panel to panel. It's not for everyone, that's for sure, but if you can keep an open mind you will love the journey you are taken on.

A beautifully compelling story of Doctor Strange's willingness to sacrifice himself for the good of others told through the backdrop of the most stunning and mold-breaking comics art to ever be put to paper. Tradd Moore delivers an emotionally dramatic narrative told through a visually dynamic style that cannot be found anywhere else. A must read for any art, comic book, or Doctor Strange fan.

I love Doctor Strange, but I'm consistently bored with the artistic/storytelling limits placed on him when he has to interact with the rest of the Marvel Universe. THIS autumnal tale, though, is everything I want in a Doctor Strange tale -- completely-standalone other-dimensional psychedelica, existing at a colorful crossroads of Mœbius and Michael DeForge. It's a masterpiece.
Have a great Fall, everyone! 🍁

After reading Silver Surfer Black, I knew Tradd Moore was an artist to look out for, but even still this totally blew me away. I love this self-contained epic of Dr Strange as a midwife having to deliver this Eldritch hell baby. The visuals are incredible, a surreal, psychedelic, Boschian nightmare. The character designs are also really inspired, with Dr Strange giving slender sexy elf against a whole horde of outstanding Dark Souls bosses. The composition of action sequences are impeccable, with the multiplication of figures ad infinitum and every line of motion stretched and squashed to the absolute limit. Despite there being so much chaos going on, the heft and weight of momentum is so clear and you can practically hear the action screaming out of the page. Terrific, terrific stuff.

Mesmerizing stuff.

Aggressively psychedelic, infused with the lore of esoteric traditions, a hero's journey through worlds beyond Ditko. The best thing Marvel published in 2023? Probably.

I finally thought of a word to describe this. It’s abstract. and absolutely beautiful

February 7, 2026Not rating this one. Stunning art and a singular vision, but it's not entirely coherent and where it is coherent it can be a bit preachy. And I don't like the metaphysics or philosophy I think it is preaching or think it's congruent with Dr. Strange as a character, concept, or story vehicle.

beautiful artwork!

Great book for people who've read the Bible and enjoy some Moorcock and want to look at something that'll make their eyes bleed in a good (?) way.

Friendship ✔️ Adventure ✔️ Wild hallucinatory colors. Loved the art style. Story was a little confusing at first but it didn't matter so much?
December 20, 2025
Incredible surreal artwork unlike anything I've seen before in superhero comics, but I feel like I'd need to read it three more times and take a graduate course on esoteric mysticism to be able to explain what actually happens in it.

Imagine you’ve taken acid and you’ve opened a picture book it’s great
