Strange #1
Writer: Jed Mackay

Cover Artist: Bjorn BarendsA NEW SORCERER SUPREME RISES! Doctor Strange is dead! And a new Sorcerer Supreme has taken the title, or should we say Sorceress? Haunted by her recently returned memories, Clea longs to bring Stephen Strange back from the dead! But when a mysterious group attacks the magical realm, Clea must rise to the duties of Sorcerer Supreme. For she is now the sole protector of Earth against magical threats. Don’t miss the twists and turns as Jed MacKay continues the story from DEATH OF DOCTOR STRANGE with artist Marcelo Ferreira (THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN)!
The book opens with Clea Strange in conflict with the Harvestman…
…who is against her resurrecting Doctor Strange!
Then we pivot the recent past and see Strange confronted by neighbor Doctor Doom who wants the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme, but…
…she won’t give it up and she mystically muscles Doom away.
Later, we learn that Clea does plan to bring back Doctor Strange with Wong cautioning her.
The book ends…
…getting to know Clea through her own words as…
…she confronted by an iconic super-hero…
…a dead icon in Thunderstroke along with newbie Harvestman.
The Pulse:
An intriguing opening yarn that establishes Clea in her new role. The Doctor Doom “visit” was a nice touch. Curious about zombie Thunderstrike and the Harvestman. Decent art. 7.5 out of 10.
