My favorite Marvel character, the sorcerer supreme protects the human realm from evil forces with the use of magic
An exciting tale of the master of the mystic arts. A pathetic human is somehow able to endow his followers with mystic abilities, as his worshippers increase in number throughout NYC. Strange needs to peel back the layers to discover the source of the chaos and save his friend.
As Sorcerer Supreme, Dr. Strange is responsible for blocking legions of demons and other magical bad actors from reaching Earth. When murdered, this blockade is rendered void, and all evil is unhindered from invading our planet. But who killed Strange? A younger version of the Dr is unleashed via an insurance spell to solve his older self‘s murder! A truly unique and fun read, like a mystical ‘whodunnit‘. Recommended!
Very cool story. Dr. Strange is murdered, but he removed his body for a week from the timeline so he could set his affairs in the case of his death. It, of course, correlates with a interdimensional, world-ending threat, but the murder mystery is really cool.
“The Way to Dusty Death” is an evocative title to a fantastic story. Had this been the only tale in this volume I would have given it a hearty thumbs up. Unfortunately, there are quite a few more stories of Spidey and Doc Strange from the ‘60s to ruin the average. If you are a fan of both characters, or enjoy the snappy dialogue and naive plotting from Marvel‘s early days, this book is worth checking out.
The comics collected here were good, and I could just about see how they tied the story together, but it felt like it was taking some very big & unexplained leaps and just presuming we'd keep up.
Good for existing Marvel fans, probably, but for me (who's trying to learn more about the Marvel universe than just what's in the movies) it's a little lacking. Don't get me wrong; still very good... just not what I'd hoped.

I wasn't a big fan of the art style but I liked the premise. I like the manga pictured better that I also finished this weekend. This is what happens when too many library books are due at the same time 😁
