About the author
Jason Aaron
2,357 books1,680 followersJason Aaron grew up in a small town in Alabama. His cousin, Gustav Hasford, who wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers, on which the feature film Full Metal Jacket was based, was a large influence on Aaron. Aaron decided he wanted to write comics as a child, and though his father was skeptical when Aaron informed him of this aspiration, his mother took Aaron to drug stores, where he would purchase books from spinner racks, some of which he still owns today.
Aaron's career in comics began in 2001 when he won a Marvel Comics talent search contest with an eight-page Wolverine back-up story script. The story, which was published in Wolverine #175 (June 2002), gave him the opportunity to pitch subsequent ideas to editors.
In 2006, Aaron made a blind submission to DC/Vertigo, who published his first major work, the Vietnam War story The Other Side which was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Miniseries, and which Aaron regards as the "second time" he broke into the industry.
Following this, Vertigo asked him to pitch other ideas, which led to the series Scalped, a creator-owned series set on the fictional Prairie Rose Indian Reservation and published by DC/Vertigo.
In 2007, Aaron wrote Ripclaw: Pilot Season for Top Cow Productions. Later that year, Marvel editor Axel Alonso, who was impressed by The Other Side and Scalped, hired Aaron to write issues of Wolverine, Black Panther and eventually, an extended run on Ghost Rider that began in April 2008. His continued work on Black Panther also included a tie-in to the company-wide crossover storyline along with a "Secret Invasion" with David Lapham in 2009.
In January 2008, he signed an exclusive contract with Marvel, though it would not affect his work on Scalped. Later that July, he wrote the Penguin issue of The Joker's Asylum.
After a 4-issue stint on Wolverine in 2007, Aaron returned to the character with the ongoing series Wolverine: Weapon X, launched to coincide with the feature film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Aaron commented, "With Wolverine: Weapon X we'll be trying to mix things up like that from arc to arc, so the first arc is a typical sort of black ops story but the second arc will jump right into the middle of a completely different genre," In 2010, the series was relaunched once again as simply Wolverine. He followed this with his current run on Thor: God of Thunder.

“You know those weird feelings you get sometimes that you can't explain? Like when you'd swear there's someone watching you, even though you're alone?”
“Odds are, your home isn't Haunted. I'm sure it's a lovely house and all, but I doubt it's so amazing that people would literally come from beyond the grave just to hang out there.”
I don't read it cause I liked the movie anymore..I just LOVE the Comic's Doctor Strange..
The amazingly Chris Bachalo's illustrated Doctor.. Handsome, strong and surrounded by all this weirdness in a very fine art way.
And the Jason Aaron's amazing Urban Fantasy elements. that with all the Strangeness of his story he can make it related to our unexplained real life phenomenons.
And this story is getting really better.. I never hooked up with A Marvel or even DC comic like this way before.

Doctor Strange continues to deal with magical creatures that don't belong in his realm. This time he has to do in his naked astral form.
Doctor Strange keeps finding himself in challenging positions, but none quite as much as fighting creatures that eat magic while naked. He's forced to continually react until he can discover the cause. The story is building to something interesting and I hope the overall storyline improves because things are a bit too weird for me right now.

A nice issue made all the better with such striking coloring.

Another good issue. I feel like the momentum has dropped some and the somewhat cartoonish artwork is getting to be less cool. I would keep reading, but it’s not at the top of the list.

chris bachalo’s style fits this narrative perfectly

Desde el primer numero nos han estado mostrando quien es el villano y por que todos estos sucesos particularmente extraños han estado ocurriendo últimamente.
Ahora la destrucción esta a la puerta de la tierra, y aparentemente solo Doctor Strange puede contra ella.
5/5 estrellas
(muero porque ya salga el próximo numero)

I'm glad that the plot of this run is starting to kick off at a gallop by the end of this issue. These are very, very wordy panels, but they read well and tell an engaging story -- they just don't necessarily mesh seamlessly with the art.

I'm definitely digging this branch of the Doctor Strange storyline.
