The Sorcerer Supreme has liftoff in an all-new series via the creative team of Mark Waid and Jesus Saiz.
Doctor Strange will take a galaxy quest clear across the universe in his new series this summer. The trip, prompted by the Eye of Agamotto being closed, causes Stephen Strange to lose his connection to the Earth’s arcane power, as literal nightmares press against the seams of our reality. Thanks to the suggestion of one Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, Strange takes on astronautical travel to fix the problem. The series will see new spells, allies and enemies – some old, some new – as secrets of the Marvel Universe are unlocked.
“I’ve been a Strange fan forever,” Said Waid. “But I’ve never been lucky enough to write an extended run featuring the good doctor. Along with editor Nick Lowe, we’ve come up with some new and very unexpected places to take Stephen Strange in the Marvel Universe—starting with the stars. When Strange’s magic suddenly exhausts itself, he’ll have to travel off-earth to recharge his batteries. Let’s hope he survives the trip!”
This new series continues Marvel‘s ‘new beginnings’ or ‘fresh start’ movement in revamping, reloading and, in some cases, overhauling its characters, including with new creative teams.
Keep an eye out for Doctor Strange #1 to land on shelves on June 6. A full list of all incoming ‘Fresh Start’ series for 2018 can be found HERE, while you can check out the official release from Marvel HERE.
