DOCTOR STRANGE HITS HIS MILESTONE 400TH ISSUE!
Creative team Mark Waid and Jesus Saiz are joined by some of the best DOCTOR STRANGE artists of all time to tell a monumentally strange tale! Someone has been working in the background since the first issue, chipping away at Doctor Strange and other magicians, undercutting and depleting their magic, and the other shoe finally drops. Does Strange stand a chance against someone who can take his magic away with the snap of their fingers?
Rated T+
Mark Waid and a talented horde of artists (led by Jesus Saiz) have created a wonderful issue that encapsulates everything Stephen Strange should be, while also setting up for what could be a fantastic arc in the coming months. Read Full Review
The art is beautifully done across the board. There are panels that evoke some of the best visual moments from the history of the character and the art in the main story in brilliantly detailed. Read Full Review
With the big 400th issue celebration out of the way, Waid and Saiz are now free to send Strange chasing after an old villain with a history that goes all the way back to Stranges earliest adventures between the covers of Strange Tales. Waid and Saiz make an excellent team. Hopefully Waid will have a similarly satisfying collaboration with British artist Barry Kitson when he takes over the art for issue #12. Read Full Review
With four tales and one pin up from some of the most iconic artists of the title, all gathered from the past and present of Doctor Strange, the result is a fitting celebration of 400 issues of Doctor Strange in 40 pages. Multi faceted snapshots of the man who became the magical protector of the Marvel universe. Read Full Review
I can't say that Doctor Strange #10 was worth the price, but it was worthy of what we got in terms of the answers we've been waiting for since the first issue. We now know what is meant by a price paid for magic, and who deals out the bill. That just leaves us with what comes after skipping the bill for this long, and crossing the person who keeps the tab.

Doctor Strange #10 is the 400th issue if you count legacy numbering and in many ways, it does a fantastic job honoring the character. Mark Waid's main story, along with the fantastic art from Saiz, will make you want more. Read Full Review
"Doctor Strange" #10 is a wonderful celebration of the hero worthy of the milestone numbering placed on the cover. Read Full Review
Doctor Strange #400 is the kind of anniversary issue all celebratory chapters should strive to emulate. It pushed the current story forward toward a huge moment, yet also has some nice, quite callbacks and stories that give credence to the timelessness of the character in question. Read Full Review
The only criticism I have is the side stories. I feel like Marvel wants to have its cake and eat it too. You can continue a character's ongoing title and celebrate landmark numbers like 400 but if you want to attract new readers with a #1 re-release you shouldn't get to. All the stories really did was distract and bring down my spirits that were so high after the main story. Read Full Review
Now 400 issues after his debut, you can sense how far Doctor Strange has come from his initial origins - and perhaps it's that anniversary that makes this issue in particular stand out in stark contrast. While the idea of bringing Stephen Strange to space has made sense given his role in the Avengers: Infinity War film, this series has leaned a bit too traditional for a character as iconoclastic as the Master of the Mystic Arts - and while Waid tries (perhaps a little too abruptly) to thrust Stephen back into the outre and the bizarre, Jesus Saiz's style as an artist means readers are unfortunately going to get hit with a case of narrative whiplash.

Great issue, particularly the main story. Strange is finally learning about the real consequences to his magic use and it leads to a hell of a cliffhanger. Even the backup stories are good for the most part.
We have four story in this anniversary issue.
The first keep gowing Waid plans for steve. And I like what he show us her. I'm happy to see Kanna I missed her. And even if I had doubte in reading this story the cliffanger made clear this will be a amazing arc.
The second is more classic but was well done. About boys finding a artefact and one trap itside. It's a good story of a rescue mission on another plan. I like that.
The thrid is a rewriting of Stephen origin. I skip it.
The fourth is a story about Nightmare and Why he don't want sleep. I really dig it.
Cover - I take the guardian of the galaxy variant. Not perfect and not related. 1/2
Writing - All the story I read was well made even if the two first more
Strange finally meets the Magic Accountant and learns what sort of world-cracking debt he's racked up in his hubristic "magic doesn't have a cost" phase. It's a relief to finally have the Big Picture plot out on the table, though it doesn't look like the most inventive story now that it's clear. Formidable art does a lot to sell this as a good comic. The milestone backup strips (especially Nightmare's nightmare) help, too.
This was great only because the main story was good. Waid and Saiz work well together. But the rest was mixed bag of nonsense just an excuse for the extra money. Except i have to say that if Acuna's take at the end is a taste of what he can do, then sign me up!
This was pretty good. The main story was easily the best and legitimately great. The rest were alright, but clearly meant to pad out the special 400th issue.
I actually really like the idea of magical accountants and I want to know more about them, the middle stories were not good, the last was okay.
Meh. I like the idea of the next arc, Strange having to pay for his abuse of the magic system. But as a character, Strange feels frustratingly cyclical in these 10 short issues, learning the same lessons over and over again, only to forget them just in time for the next arc.
Wish I never paid for this extra priced shit issue
