Kev Walker deliver some beautiful art in this issue. The characters are expressive. The action is fantastic and the visual style is thrilling. The creature designs are amazing and I really enjoyed how the story progressed throuigh the art. Read Full Review
This was an issue that was simply fun to read. The adventure Dr. Strange goes through is exciting every (trippy) step of the way. And, Mark Waid knows what to sprinkle throughout to give it more substance than is noticeable at first glance. With this being just the third beat in this tale, it opens up what could come next.

Overall, Dr. Strange " Surgeon Supreme #3 was an enjoyable experience for the unique situation that Strange was thrown into. Magic is engaging when you can explore it, and they did not fail to give us that one element to this series which should never be ignored. Where there was confidence before in this creative team, now there is appreciation for what has not been lost about key selling points. Read Full Review
You can tell Waid has a connection with Strange, he writes him effortlessly which makes the story believable and character building. Read Full Review
This is an interesting initial study of how Stranges life as a surgeon/magician might come together. Anchoring the story in both the hospital AND a fantasy dimension of magic gives the character a momentum that could carry the series in several different interesting directions. Read Full Review
"Dr. Strange" #3 dives into the weird side of Strange's magical adventures and delivers it with some suitably surreal designs and colorwork. Read Full Review
Beyond a few excellent panels, there may not be much special about Dr. Strange #3, but it certainly delivers a monthly dose of the Sorcerer Supreme that will satisfy most dedicated fans. Read Full Review
Dr. Strange the Surgeon Supreme sounds like a cool name, something I'm sure Mark Waid probably pitched jokingly before Marvel gave him the go-ahead. Being a surgeon is a big part of Stephan's origin story, and throughout the years Dr. Strange has found some way to go back to his profession, but it just doesn't scream "ongoing series". The fact that Dr. Strange can use techniques and think like a surgeon is situations is far more intriguing than him actually being in a hospital being a "surgeon". Read Full Review
Dr. Strange exorcises a tattoo demon. It's a brilliant one-shot, but it also ends with a solid tie to the larger story arc. Smart ideas and absolutely gorgeous art; when Mark Waid and Kev Walker are on, they are REALLY ON.
Prelude:
Dr. Strange fell a slight bit last issue but maybe this one can make it more consistent.
The Good:
I love the surgeon side to this issue.
Also liked the magical aspect.
Walker's art was good.
Cool cliffhanger.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
A great issue this time around. I only wish that the book was more consistent.
loved the art! this was the best of the three books that have come out so far
This is a one-shot that I'm not sure was necessary so early on, but I enjoyed it. The ideas presented were fun.
It's got the same vibes as in the previous iteration which makes sense since Waid did both. Still waiting for this book to grab me but for now it's classic and enjoyable with some nice art by Walker.
This was a good done-in-one story with a new and interesting villain, but the conflict resolution was a bit too simple for my taste, this might have seen better as two issues.
Enterteining adventure in the tattoo demon dimension. Tattoos are officially evil.
A really cool idea, but too much narration really bogged it down.
