Darn, almost was going with a 4 star. I really enjoy the first half. Nice twist and turns. 2nd half? Not so much.

Doctor Strange returns to earth but upon getting back to his home another doctor strange attacks him. This leaves them fighting each other but soon is revealed who is the real strange. This leads the doctor on a personal journey of failure and how to fix things broken. Then have the 2nd story of Strange dealing with the ancient one and then his greatest foe, which sounds cool, but ends in an unsatisfying way.

If I'd rate each part the first would be a 4 out of 5 where's 2nd part is a 2.5 out of 5. The art stays good throughout, the fights are fun, and way less internal dialogue so it works a lot better in this book for pacing. I also enjoyed Strange's characterization a lot. But the villain in the 2nd half was really blah and the ending didn't get me excited.

Still a solid, good, if not fun book. Wish I could give it a 4 but gonna settle with a 3.5 out of 5.
