There are supreme moments of greatness here, mainly related to Javier Rodriguez's involvement with the book. There is so much creativity to his art, it just pours out from the pages, sometimes literally and it gets even crazier with the series progressing. The writing also takes some interesting turns, but honestly not enough considering how powerful this art can be.

At times i feel that there is some disconnect between the writing and the art, because for all the creative power and astonishment the art delivers, the writing delivers the same amounts of cliches, especially with it's dialogue.

The book also suffers from having to deal with too many characters and with most of them not being that interesting or having much to do here, with the highlights for me being Wiccan and especially Newton(yeah, that Newton), who gets a whole issue to construct his character and it pays off. Don't get me wrong, every character gets a special thing, just most of the times it's either just a surface level thing(like Yao) or something not that interesting or original. Doctor Strange is also not terribly important, most of the time he is just there and sometimes acts as the narrator. Honestly the book should be called Sorcerers Supreme, because the there is no focus on Doctor Strange. Still the characters can be consider a plus to the books. But it really got overcrowded when the avengers came in.

Also the pacing is all over the place at times. There are issues long battles, that don't go anywhere and issues dedicated to the character during those battles. So yeah things happen slowly here. I guess the book relies to much on the comedy and the dynamics of the team, during those battles, which did not work for me. Also some important plot points relied on exposition. So Yeah, i don't fully get the pacing here. It constantly feels like the writer spends time on weird and not that necessary things.

I feel like I am bashing the book too much, so I would say that the premise is interesting and there are interesting ideas, that the art sells big time(as anything really ), but the writing for me feels shallow with few glimpses of inspirations here and there and even then not always works out that well. If not for the art I would have rated this comics probably somewhere around 5.
