Collecting Death Of Doctor Strange #1-5, Death Of Doctor Spider-Man, Strange (2022) #1-10 And Doctor Strange (2023) #1-18.
slightly off perfection due to some inconsistent art and a crossover that should have been included in the main book, this is a delightful collection of adventures and one of the better showings for Doctor Strange, a character I've had fondness for since childhood, even though his stories have largely not merited the favor.
Beautiful art and an OK story. Some very cool ideas but they return to the “a different version of Strange” well too many times. Also not much in the way of interesting, esoteric magic on display which is my favourite part of a magic book.
