Part romance and part mystery, the sense of foreboding Aaron drives home gives this ongoing series massive appeal. Reasons to buy this book: Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo have made Doctor Strange one of those characters you just want more of. So yes, Ill be on board with this series for as long as Jason Aaron is. I wasn't sure how the Aaron-Bachalo comic was going to work out, so I came with very low expectations. Or when your dog keeps screaming at you to strangle your neighbors? There's still time for things to go horribly downhill and it's hard to get past how much the comic exists as essentially a marketing tool for the Dr. With this opening issue, Aaron seeks to bring the world of the weird to a new generation of readers and succeeds admirably in keeping the older fans happy. If you enjoy Weird World Dr. might get) list of new Marvel titles to collect, and I'm really happy I picked it up. Stephen Strange will certainly guide you through it as Jason Aaron, Chris Bachalo, Kevin Nowlan and an unseen, scarily-powerful menace make "Doctor Strange" #1 a perfect launching point for a bold new era.

Doctor Strange #1 is an excellent start to a series that shows us how Doctor Strange lives his days as the Sorcerer Supreme.

Serving as an utterly captivating introduction to the world of the Sorcerer Supreme, this is as close to a must-buy first issue as you could hope for. Jason Aaron adds some life to the character and delivers a brilliant mesh between a regular guy and perhaps the most powerful sorcerer on the planet. Hopefully this book is a sign of things to come for Marvel's relaunch.

All in all a wonderful book. I think this is going to be one of new favorite series. Great first issue. Best Movie Snack: Nachos. This is a very entertaining new start for Doctor Strange. Aaron was born to tell stories of magic, too, so this is supposed to continue as one of the best things Marvel can offer today. Wow -- what can I say; I was completely blown away! Aaron has wisely chosen to keep the title away from current events in the Marvel Universe, giving the book room to stretch its legs and find its niche. Knows more about them than you... Or does he? Having a simple, yet mysterious narrative, the creative team give us a lot to look forward to, with it more than earning a recommendation from us. Or when your daughter is cursing in Latin and walking like a spider? Big changes are brewing for Marvel's ongoing Doctor Strange comic, as the series is gaining a new creative team and a new lead character beginning in November. But it does have potential for some well-crafted stories in the future. Strange's world that feels fresh and familiar at the same time. (Honestly, though, what is?) Strange #1 breaks many of the conventional superhero rules when it comes to design and flow. In the end, Doctor Strange is a pretty solid debut. Aaron and Bachalo have put together a really fun debut that exudes energy off of the page. Strange in almost twenty years.

But what he does do, he does quite well and that more than makes up for the less than original plot. One last thing: Marvel places the retail value of this issue at a ridiculous $4.99. The comic book is worth a look if you want a character-driven story. The artwork will be distributed to Comic-Con attendees and it features Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, doing his magic thing. All in all, this is a great start for Marvel relaunch month, and if you're looking forward to the 2016Doctor Strange film, then this book should help satisfy your appetite while you wait.

Doctor Strange #1 is an interesting read, being just the kind of series for people looking to get a feel for the character prior to his cinematic debut next year.

This is a fun book that sets up the world of Doctor Strange. Doctor Strange #1 is a lot of fun as it sets up the weird world, the dynamic character and the impending doom in a balanced and well paced way. Decent start. As a Doctor Strange fan myself, I've sometimes found myself distracted with some of the aspects to the character and his adventures. Though after the first battle you got to see the human side of Strange and it brought me back to reality. Aarons script is strong and aided by Bachalos unique art style it leaps off the page. This book was in my "B"(i.e. Who do you call when things are coming out of your dreams and trying to kill you?
