About this ebook

Who do you call when things are coming out of your dreams and trying to kill you? Or when your daughter is cursing in Latin and walking like a spider? Or when your dog keeps screaming at you to strangle your neighbors? Doctor Strange, of course. He's the only person standing between us and the forces of darkness, but has he been paying his tab? Every act of magic has a cost and Jason Aaron (THOR, ORIGINAL SIN) and Chris Bachalo (UNCANNY X-MEN) are going to put Stephen Strange through hell to even the scales.

Ratings and reviews

Tried reading the free sample before purchase, but the edges of the page were so badly cropped I couldn't even read the first page. Not going to chance buying a book that has been poorly digitized. If it's just a problem with the free sample, then the publisher should be made aware that it's costing them sales and they should fix it immediately.

Jason Aaron introduces the reader to magic and Dr Strange. We then find that magic is not easy and takes a greater toll on the user than any other super hero. Wrong excellently written and has a side story that is far more complex and nuanced than before. The reader is left on a cliffhanger for the next volume. The at its amazing and really makes use of 2 page spreads to tell the story.

I already owned the physical books for this arc. Looking at the purchase screen it says 1974-87? So kinda huh on that but it shows issues 1-39. So great deal even if older stuff but it is only issues 1-6 of the 2015 series, not even the full arc. Good story but false advertising.
