A window-crashing, high-flying, globe-traveling, ghost-battling adventure from the earliest days of Doctor Strange's training in the mystic arts! Part Indiana Jones, part Lord of the Rings, thrill to this new tale of how a selfish, arrogant surgeon collided with a hot-headed martial artist to become the greatest team the mystic arts have ever seen! If only they can stop hitting each other and figure out how all this magic stuff works anyway. Also featuring DEFENDERS (2012) #1, by Matt Fraction and Terry Dodson.

Sep 18, 2012All in all, Doctor Strange: Season One finally realizes the potential of this graphic novel series. It's true to the classic origin while offering something legitimately new and engaging to the mix, not to mention absolutely stunning to look at. Read Full Review

Sep 13, 2012If you've never been interested in Doctor Strange, this book seems like as good a place as any to get interested. The Season One initiative has been largely disappointing across the board if only because their hasn't been a lot that felt new in any way, shape or form. Doctor Strange Season One, however, changes that for the most part; it's an old story, sure, but it's told in such a way where everything legitimately feels fresh and exciting. If this book is any indication that we'll be seeing a Strange fill sometime soon, and it would seem that it might, this is certainly a great way to get Strange into the conscious mind of an unsuspecting public.

Sep 17, 2012"Doctor Strange: Season One" is fun and smart all at the same time. It delivers thrills, laughs and spectacular visuals. This is the ultimate place to get back into Doctor Strange if you've been away for too long. As a first taste, you'll be spoiled for quality and want more of this version of the character and the creative team. As both a story and a "Season One" book, this is a resounding success on all fronts. Let's greenlight the Season Two for everyone involved here. Read Full Review

Doctor Strange: Season One offers a modern retelling of Stephen Strange's origin, but for me it was a mixed experience. On the positive side, the story captures the key beats of Strange's transformation from arrogant surgeon to Sorcerer Supreme, and it gives some nice depth to his early struggles with humility and responsibility. The artwork is solid, with a mystical and stylish feel that suits the character well. However, the pacing feels uneven, and the story doesn't always dig as deep into Strange's journey as I would have liked. Some parts feel rushed, while others drag, leaving the overall experience a bit unbalanced. It's enjoyable, but it doesn't fully capture the magic and mystery that makes Doctor Strange such a fascinating char more

Italia - proprio non mi ha convinto. Uno Strange molto orientale anche nei tratti, si cimenta, insieme a Wong in un'improbabile ricerca di 3 anelli. Il cattivone di turno è Mordo, ma anche lui, caratterizzazione 0. Sembra quasi una storiella tirati lì. Peccato, poteva essere nettamente migliore.
