"HERALD SUPREME" CONTINUES!
• The only good thing about Galactus sating his hunger in another dimension was that the Marvel Universe was safe.
• Well, he's powered up and back in the Marvel Universe and all of space and time is in dreadful danger!
Rated T+
Kitson and Scott Koblish deliver some impressive and beautiful art in this issue. Everything is filled with spectacle and scale with the action scenes reminding me of some of the best crossover events Marvel has produced. A great looking issue. Read Full Review
Fans should be all in on Waids DOCTOR STRANGE. From traversing the cosmos on a magical space journey to becoming the Herald of Galactus, Waids taken the Sorcerer Supreme on a ride more wild than Mr. Toads. Its a series that this reviewer wishes wasnt coming to an end. However, all good things seem to expire at some point. My hope is that fans truly get to see how amazing this run has been before its too late. By the Sons of Satannish, buy this issue and get the trades. Youll be glad you did! Read Full Review
Another epic instalment that deserves to be given more of a sprawl of an arena than the restrictive format of one title alone. Despite this injustice it still manages to make a large impact. Read Full Review
There are four more issues left to go in Kitsons Doctor Strange. Promotion suggests that the final issue features An event so epic that it shakes Doctor Strange to the core and makes him completely reevaluate his life and role. So its not exactly going to be a boring ending. Itll be interesting to see how Waid brings the series to a close in the next four issues. The epic battle in this issue is placed in a bit of a strange moment. FOUR MONTHS from the end of the series. Read Full Review
Various characters float in space; individual encounters are provided too little detail or a unique enough perspective to leave much of an impression. The result is an unnecessary issue with little to offer even on style points. Pass. Read Full Review
I really thought this issue was cool and interesting and fun. The only thing that gave me pause was some of the characters that Dr. Strange bring to the fight. Namely, Black Bolt, Hulk and Silver Surfer. All three characters are not as they should be. Black Bolt shouldn't be able to scream, Hulk should not be in his classic form and Silver Surfer is no longer ex-herald. But I gave it some thought and I think these can be explained. We know this series takes place a little ways back now, given the issue 3 Infinity Wars tie-in, and that the time stone is still in Strange's possession. Silver Surfer didn't become Galactus' herald again until the very end of Infinity Countdown, which leads right into Dr. Strange amassing the Infinity Watch, whe more
It certainly is entertaining and huge in scope. But the delivery is somehow missing the urgency it's trying to convey. Waid and Kitson are doing some nice work still and I've enjoyed the last few issues. Kitson's line and Koblish's finishes work well together but I do want to see Koblish take a crack at an issue just by himself because I think he'll deliver his unique point of view that I loved in other books. Reber colors were nice and I enjoyed the Splash page with Dr. Strange blow on Galactus. Very clever layering of colors.
Watch the heaviest hitters in the 616 universe get sent into the meat grinder.
This Doctor Strange/Clea fanfiction is really heating up.
I'm unpleasantly reminded of that Futurama episode where they parodied Star Trek's technobabble + analogy problem-solving: "Like putting too much air in a balloon!"
Also, when you kill the Silver Surfer in act 2, all you're really doing is killing all the tension and guaranteeing that Stephen is going to CTRL-Z this whole crisis away in the end.
