Ratings and reviews

First off, anyone who is not familiar with the Season One anthology; these books are written in a quick pace manner to introduce the origins of the character. It is stream lined like a television script, hence 'Season One'. Dr. Strange retells the story of the car accident that took the use of his hands away and the journey into the mystical realm on his way to recovery. He faces challenges of not only his body but his faith. The color and art are sharp contrast. They provide an otherworldly effects.

Usually not a fan of Greg Pak, but this is as disciplined a script as Strange himself. Emma Rios's art pushes this into 5 star easy; her art is mysterious, expressive, and ethereal. Favorite done-in-one in a long time...

Wowwww!! This is like a brief explanation of Strange's origin and also changes many things in the beginning!! But it's a wonderful arc!! Amazing, I say. I love it!!
