• Doctor Strange's life was changed by a car accident in upstate New York.
• A new accident is going to change Stephen's life in just as big a way.
Rated T+
Jesus Saiz delivers some fantastic art in this issue. There are some incredibly well detailed and beautiful visual moments in this story. The dialogue goes a long way toward conveying the tension and pain of the moment and Saizs art drives that home with impressive facial details and expression. Read Full Review
If youre falling in love with this series as it comes to an end, enjoy the ride while you still can. Hopefully, Marvel finds a way to extend this series and keeps this creative team together. It's a fantastically fun and exciting read that this reviewer absolutely recommends. Head out to your shop, give this one a try, and let me know what you think. Read Full Review
This issue and the one that came before it stand as cleverly-rendered examples of how to bring a very contemporary Doctor Strange story to the page. Without all the cosmic clutter that can grow to compromise the action. Its not terribly new stuff. Its nothing that Strange hasnt dealt with numerous times over the decades. But Waid and Saiz are showing readers just what theyll be missing when Strange vanishes again after next issue. Read Full Review
While the ending felt rushed, "Doctor Strange" #19 is an excellent jumping-on point for new readers, featuring a compelling personal conflict and some excellent art of the world of magic. Read Full Review
I'm not sure this new direction for Doctor Strange is an exciting one or if we're being set up for a total bore. Either way, the journey there is pretty exciting. Read Full Review
Once again the art does the heavy lifting in a story that really could have been a total car crash. Read Full Review
Another great one-off story, but this one with major implications to Strange's future. Damn is Strange ever reckless, I'm sure there were numerous spells that could have addressed this issue, like a transportation spell to a hospital bed.
Wow!
I liked this. Didn't like how it almost became a repeat of last issue with the distraction. I'm not sure I care that Stephen has his hands back, but I have to assume there's more to it than what this issue reveals and we'll see that in the future.
To make Doc's gamble seem reasonable (or at least human) was a major writing challenge. Mark Waid succeeds but does not excel, know what I mean?
I would have liked a little more something in this one, but I’m not sure what.
