This Doctor makes house calls, as ‘Doctor Strange' #2 pits our duo of Sorcerers Supreme against an unknown threat that has arisen within the terrifying realm belonging to the dark being Nightmare. Every bit of this series is singing in unison as the relatable and supernatural elements move alongside one another so smoothly, creating a very fun character-rich experience. Read Full Review
Its a solid second issue to this new team, and both MacKay and Ferry seem to have a firm grasp on how they want this book to work. Ferrys art here is a masterful showing by the legend, and compliments the story beats flawlessly. The few weak spots can be course corrected in a book thats still so young, so Strange fans are going to get one heck of a ride. Read Full Review
Ferry delivers some beautiful imagery in the issue. The nightmare realm is brilliantly strange and visually unique. Read Full Review
Despite starting a new story rather than carrying off of the last issue's major reveal, Doctor Strange #2 is a compelling issue that manages to keep the reader's attention. Read Full Review
Trying to predict the future aside, Doctor Strange #2 does a lot of the heavy lifting required to establish an elaborate story and it does an exceptional job of it at that. Read Full Review

Dr. Strange #2 brings Stephen Strange and Clea into conflict with Stephen's old foe, Nightmare. But things are not as they seem. The story and writing is good and everyone is consistent with their characters, at least how Jed MacKay writes them. And while it's underwhelming to see Nightmare diminished once again as a villain, the story and the art made up for it in some ways. By the end, Stephen and Clea's story converges with Wong's from the first issue and set things up for the next issue. Read Full Review
Doctor Strange #2 opens the door for a far-reaching conspiracy about a hidden force stealing the souls of children. Ferry's art is outstanding, and the plot is creative, but the low pacing and lack of energy/urgency make this comic a mild struggle to get through. Read Full Review
This is a wonderfully-crafted one-shot adventure. The sharp dialogue illuminates character relationships, and the art is gorgeous. The visuals in the dream dimension are impressive, backed with all the wild imagination a magic story demands.
And the cherry on top is that this isn't really a one-shot at all. Though it doesn't tie directly to the plot threads established in #1, it's clearly running in parallel. It's all one big story, and it's shaping up as a fascinating one.

A fun adventure for Stephen and Clea. Clea's narration is done well and I enjoy how MacKay writes her. Not that it's bad, but I'm not the biggest fan of Ferry's art. However, it worked better during the scenes not set in reality. Overall, this was just a good, entertaining issue, which is something you can usually expect from Jed MacKay. Looking forward to see how the story with Aggamon goes, and I really hope Nightmare comes back into play, as his situation sparked a fair amount of interest from me.
Disappointing.
This issue could have been so much better. We had this mystery of Nightmare being skewered, and how it linked to the little girl. But in the end, none of it mattered and I guess they left him there, which is really mean. Instead, Jed turned the story into fighting a Kiju for no reason, and then it ended abruptly. What a waste of a good set up.
