Tradd Moore's ambitious Doctor Strange series continues to be impressive, if not perhaps filling itself with a little too much. Read Full Review
A artistic marvel (pun absolutely intended), Trad Moore's Doctor Strange: Fall Sunrise #2 is a fun time in cape comics with visuals that are sure to melt your brain. Read Full Review
If you want to be simultaneously dazzled and befuddled (in the best possible way), pick up Doctor Strange: Fall Sunrise #2. Make sure to set aside time to read it multiple times, its an issue (and a mini-series) thats best absorbed rather than read. Enjoy being lost in its beautiful pages. Read Full Review
Doctor Strange: Fall Sunrise #2 clarifies the backstory behind Doctor Strange's current predicament and adds a weirdly bizarre mix of religion, ancient legends, and lore for a truly unique experience. In fairness, the mix of concepts makes this issue a dense, heavy read that doesn't always remain lucid, but the experience is fascinating enough to keep going. Read Full Review
I picked up the first for the art alone, and was surprised by the writing. The second is continuing to bring depth to the writing that I didn’t expect.
How is this not more popular?
Books like this are why I don’t settle for tpbs and omnibuses.
Buy a copy for your collection, and a copy for your bedside. You’ll never grow tired of a revisit.
This is exactly how good you need to be to do "weird for the sake of weird" and pull it off.
No, that's too trite. What distinguishes this issue and makes me rate it higher than #1 are the strong islands of rational plotting that rise from the weirdness. There *is* a fascinating story here (not to mention a comprehensive, unique cosmology), and it's a perfect match for the gorgeous, surreal art.
Is it clear? Easy to understand? Definitely not. But there's nothing else I'd rather be reading this week.
I'd be lying if I said I completely followed the story, but if you don't mind things that sacrifice clarity for creative ambition, this is pretty incredible. Uncontestedly the most visually astonishing book I read in 2022
I'm still recovering from watching Strange hop through a giant's digestive tract.
