The resulting team-up shows Aaron doing what he does best on this book - pairing clever supernatural conflicts with ample amounts of black humor and a healthy dose of Strange's self-loathing. Read Full Review

Its issues like Doctor Strange #18 that hits you hard when you realize that there will be a time soon when this run will end, new creative team and all. But until then this story with Doctor Strange versus Mister Misery is going stronger than one would expect. These are the lengths a person will go to save their best friend. Read Full Review

I loved this issue. The suspense was palpable as Thor raced to perform brain surgery on all of Strange's patients, and Mister Misery continued to emerge as a terrible threat. The tension builds towards the end for an excellent conclusion. Funny, intense, and drawn masterfully, this is a great comic book.

A very smart use of a team up, and since Aaron knows these characters in at out by this point, it's a slam dunk.

A really great team up. I liked the explanation the Dr gives Thor about knowing who she really is. And I love the art of Bachalo. So much to appreciate. I can't wait to see what Aaron brings us next.

Coming from the days where team-ups happened every few issues I really loved this issue. The way that Aaron uses Thor was a fun surprise as well, needing her more for her skills as Jane Foster than as the Mighty Thor. Strange's approach to stopping Misery was also fun. I am going to be sad to see this team leave the book in a couple issues. I hope that the new team can create some equally interesting strange tales (see what I did there?).

Thor helps Doc S save his old patients from Mr. Misery in tumor form. Saving Wong, though - that's up to Stephen alone. Jason Aaron doubles down on the body horror in this gloriously nasty medical thriller. Chris Bachalo's artwork is at its height and together the creators really sell the "bizarre and revolting" part of Dr. Strange's work without actually driving the reader away. It filled me up with creepy-crawlies but it also had me turning the pages at top speed. There is a bit of "power creep" on Thor that you can use to work yourself into a rage if you wanna be an insufferable comics know-it-all.

I miss Frazer Irving's art...

Me too. But the last issue was sooooo dark it needed that broody art this time around not as much. But I wouldn't mind having Irving popping on back in from time to time.
