Dr. Strange #6 brings the good doctor's latest adventure to a wholly-satisfying close. At its core, it's a basic "hero vanquishes villain" story, but both of the parties involved enjoy an admirable level of insight thanks to solid scripting. Tie it up with some splendid art and you have a fulfilling climax for a strong (if not all-time great) Doctor Strange adventure. Read Full Review

sad to see this one go

I liked watching Madame Masque evolve into Kate Bishop's nemesis; I don't much appreciate the attempt to drag her back to her old "Tony Stark Stan" characterization. Beyond that, it's a functional plot ennobled by some outstanding art.

Cut short just as the series was finding its groove.

Art 4/5
Story 3.5/5

Mark Waid's run on Doctor Strange has had its ups and downs. Not as good as what Cates and Aaron were doing, but better than Hopeless, at least. I can't say I'll outright miss it, but it was clearly cut short due to COVID, and that's unfortunate. Maybe Mark Waid will head up the next relaunch when things get back to normal. We'll see. This issue was a little rushed, but it was fine.

Well that was quick!
