Rated T+
This is the beginning of Waids massive issue 400 story and he has certainly kicked things off with a bang. Strange is on top form here as hes pushed to his limits, finding himself left with very few options as a new and lethal enemy closes in. Pick this one up, folks. Its only going to get more and more epic and we inch towards issue #400 in January. Read Full Review
The art in this issue is amazing. The fights were visually stunning and everything complemented the narrative perfectly. Read Full Review
Without the inner monologue of the previous run and the Loki scenario, there is no real way to tell just what Strange himself is thinking, Although the writing does show more insight into other characters. Mordo for instance has impersonated Strange himself in the past, so it was natural he had Casey do the same. And also he is shown as being somewhat hypocritical as he berates Stephen about the cost of magic, while using Casey as a weapon. Read Full Review
This new run of Doctor Strange started out very strong, and the tale of his space travels was a fantastic followup to Cates' Earthbound story. However, things started getting lost in the shuffle with the "Two Doctors" story, and they only get more convoluted here. Read Full Review
Issue #8 is full of unnecessary drama. It's a bit messy and focuses on typical cliche plot points that drive Strange apart from his allies while overcoming his enemies. Read Full Review
We have Doctor Strange against Mordru & Casey. It's a nice story when he see a much powerfull Strange even if he need Kanna.
I really love when Bat talk about the Infinity gem. It was nicely done & that show that waid have a real plan and deal with the consequence. It's even true what she told to Strange. But I'm a little sad to let her leaving.
Cover - I take the Uncanny X-men. Not related but one of the Best Uncanny Cover of the month. 1/2
Writing - Very subtile. I really like Casey their. And I looking forward to see her or Kanna again. And I really wonder who's behind Mordru. 3/3
Arts - The layout and Panel are very good. It's not perfect but very close. 3/3
Feeling - Love this ongoing. Maybe even better t more
That ended on a high note and the art was much better in most of the issue. Great!
The character work is remarkable in its merciless insight into Stephen's flaws.
Lots of action and drama to wrap up this arc.
Pretty good issue. One thing that bothered me was the fact that the villain couldn't be revealed because of some dramatically convenient spell Mordo used. It felt particularly throw away.
Poor Kanna.
