Whew, I literally expelled air when Kanna was introduced to this story and then I inhaled smiled and continued smiling till the end. The art is just fantastic by Jesus Saiz. Mark Waid had me as depressed as possible. I almost couldn't take it anymore and then we changed direction completely. The colors came back to the story the energy came back and I'm glad I stayed with it.  Read Full Review

If you couldn't find the place to jump into Doctor Strange's story before, this is not the time to miss jumping into a new space adventure experience that he has never had before. The best hero tales are when they are thrown out of their element. That is when heroes rise and pull off the impossible. Issue #2 captured that shining moment perfectly with a first real taste of magic without consequence. Read Full Review

Taking Strange from his comfort zone is turning out to be a great arc for the character with some interesting a new stories to tell. Read Full Review

So far "Doctor Strange in space" continues to be a compelling idea. We're getting to see more unique ways of using magic, along with new alien worlds to be introduced to. Blending science fiction and fantasy doesn't always work but so far Doctor Strange is proving the status quo wrong. I look forward to seeing what's in store for the future. Read Full Review

It all looks very shiny and full of spacey goodness but we need to know who the big bad is and SOON so I forget to focus on plot holes. Read Full Review

Doctor Strange has traveled the cosmos before, but I feel like Waid has drifted too far off the path of mysticism that makes the character so unique in the Marvel universe. Read Full Review

Tremendous writing and art

Waid has done it. I had my doubts about his style after Cates's take. Man is Waid flexing his writing ability here. But that's just the half of it. This book is beautiful to look at and i found my self asking how does Jesus Saiz do it? It must've taken him a while. Those details, shadows and colors are perfect!

I was into this.

Not into the idea of Doc Strange without magic yet again but the execution has luckily made up for that. Hopefully this goes no more than an arc or 2 and we have a proper run of our Sorcerer magically inclined soon!

The last issue left me unmoved, as It seemingly offered little that seemed new or different. But writer Mark Waid steps it up here with a much more interesting an issue, one defined by character interaction over heavy 3rd-person narration (still there, not as all-present as last issue though). I liked Talla (I think that’s it) as a companion for Stephen on his journey through space. This fun well-paced issue has definitely got me coming back for more after I was really uncertain about issue #1.

the art is really very good, and the story did it's primary job: it made me want to read more. that's the first time I can say that about Doctor Strange in a long while.

a bit "too convenient" with his new ally, but if that's what it takes to get Doctor Strange going again then I'll take it. I'm actually excited to see where this goes.

Better than #1, but I don't know... Still can't connect fully to the characters.

This was pretty good. I still don’t care that Strange is once again without magic so quickly after regaining it, but the story is good. I like that a nefarious plot seems to be unfolding at the very end.

Doc escapes into the universe thanks to picking up an exotic alien "Indiana Jones of magic" partner. A chronic risk with Dr. Strange is that his plots tend toward arbitrary "it's possible because magic" resolutions. Here, we get a heavy dose of that arbitrariness even though Stephen is short of magic. Stephen's slapped together with literally the perfect partner? And she pulls magical escape MacGuffins out of thin air? Twice in an issue? This remains artistically beautiful and the issue has a nice pace; but the convenient coincidences are piled SO deep ...

Deus ex machina to the rescue in the form of this arcanologist with a powerful arcane artifact sitting off panel somewhere. The issue is very condensed, with good artwork but a casual plot that seems to care little about establishing a time frame or whether it is physically possible to speak in the void of space.
