3.0

Ah my first doctor strange solo book. What did I think? Not bad.

So Strange is living his life. You know, taking care of demons on a different level than ours so we can't see or know about them. The supreme sorcerer really does have to work hard to protect us all. The story has a young girl come to his mansion for help taking demons out of her head, and then grows into something bigger, someone, or something, coming after the whole world of magic to take it down. Basically starting war with the magic users by the end.

Good: The art is really fun and well done. I loved the fights, the way it looks, just everything about the art spoke to me. I also loved the relationship of Strange and the new girl as they build it well and a non-creepy way. The ending also was great and made me want to continue the series, what every good first volume should do.

Bad: The storyline can be a little jumbled and a lot of talk of magic and spells that might not be all that interesting if haven't read strange before (raises hand). I also thought the extra pages of issue 1-2 werne't needed and disrupted the pacing.

Overall this was pretty fun. As someone who never cared about the character or read his stuff I found this pretty dang enjoyable. I'll sneak my score in at a 3 out of 5 and check out the rest of Jason's run.
