Jan 26, 2017Doctor Strange #16 brings this next chapter to a close in a way only expected when diving into the deep end of this corner of the Marvel Universe. What you can never deny Doctor Strange as a book is that this isn't your ordinary superhero story with a happy ending. We are too good for that and this creative team understands fully.

AIPT - David Brooke
Jan 25, 2017Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo continue to pump out Doctor Strange comics that assert his world is very much different from the rest of the heroes. Every month you're reminded of the topsy turvy and wildly weird world that's infectious. Read Full Review

This series has been so epic. This particular issue was amazeballs. I really hope they keep Bachalo as artist. His art has been absolutely key

How could this be anything less than a ten! What a satisfying conclusion to the story arc.

As Doctor Strange's rogues gallery returns his biggest baddest threat finally strikes. What has made Doctor Strange so interesting in this run is that he cannot rely on a magic fix. Using magic requires so much more work so we see a man using his wits to get around that problem. Along with a lot of luck. A new threat is being built that seems like it will be interesting with the support cast getting some focus. We also get more views of Doctor Strange's past since the universe was rewritten after Secret Wars.

Good end to arc.

A solid ending for a great arc. I love the art of Bachalo and Smith and the story of Aaron. Plus the other arc looks just as promising.

A killer confrontation with Dormammu, but a bit of a deus ex machina resolution. Love the artwork, especially the layouts.

Dr. Strange banishes Dormammu with a display of archetypal Dr. Strange-iness. It's a much-anticipated return to form at the end of a rather disappointing story arc. It feels like it's been years since we've seen good old Doc S making with the sparkle-fists and chanting dread incantations, but it's finally back. The subtle flowering of the supporting cast is fun, too. Wong is about to play a central role, and there's some nice foreshadowing pointing toward big things in librarian Zelma's future.

Nice cover. This conclusion was just "good enough" and the art was better than that. Doc beat Dormammu, not once, but twice with a little too much deus ex magica. And poor Wong is really getting raked over the coals in this run. Zelma's "Captain Cornea" line and Plan B were hilarious.
