First Look DOCTOR STRANGE #1

The Sorcerer Supreme returns for his first ongoing series in nearly twenty years, and he’s making house calls! Today, Marvel is pleased to present your first look inside DOCTOR STRANGE #1, the new ongoing series from blockbuster creators Jason Aaron (Star Wars, Thor) and Chris Bachalo (Uncanny X-Men, Avengers)! Prepare for a side of the Marvel Universe you’ve never seen before as the magical, mystical and all things weird lie at every turn! And if you don’t know where to turn – call the Doctor. From inside his Sanctum Sanctorum – the Master of the Mystic Arts defends the Marvel Universe from any and all supernatural threats.

But a dark new power is rising. One that will have repercussions for all magic users. The threat is growing, and Strange knows he won’t be powerful enough to stop it. If he is to have any kind of hope, it’ll take a new kind of Sorcerer Supreme. Because all magic comes with a price, and it’s high time Stephen Strange balanced the scales.

This issue also contains a bonus five-page story by Jason Aaron and industry legend Kevin Nowlan setting up major story-threads!

The epic adventure begins this October as Marvel’s mightiest magician takes a battle axe straight to evil in DOCTOR STRANGE #1!

looks amazing... god i love Bachalo art/layouts. def will be picking this up.. its one of the few new books i'm interested in and will put my money towards.

Am i missing something, or is this just a bunch of variants

Like the art so far

For financial reasons as well as an extremely busy schedule I haven't been reading many comics lately but I'll definitely be picking this up. Dr. Strange is one of my favorite characters and he hasn't held a solo title for long. Hopefully the hype surrounding the upcoming movie as well as the killer creative team on this book will encourage people to give Strange a shot.

So he's losing his amp...

Yes please.

One of the only three new Marvel books I want.

Really excited for this series. Chris Bachalo is easily one of my favorite artists and his style will be perfect for a Dr Strange series.

Damn that cosplay Strange looks good. I may get some flack for saying this but I think it will be hard for Benedict Cumberbatch too beat that look.

I should take a dump and wipe it all over a piece of paper so I can pretend to be a Bachalo level artist. So glad he's not on any x-books for a change

This looks awesome. The art is amazing, and with Jason Aaron writing, I'm sure it'll be a great read.

not a fan of the art. pass. lol

And the Skottie Young covers continue to be the best of the bunch.

Can't wait for this title. I thought I would not like it, but the art of Bachalo was not bad.

Marvel has too many new series coming out that look awesome, I'm going to be broke.

Pre-ordered

dat art. I normally dont care about Strange, but I may have to check this out.

yes Yes YES! Gonna get all the variants. Doctor Strange is my favorite superhero and his own comic has been long overdue. Thank you Marvel.

I honestly loved the transition of Strange stepping down and the Sorcerer Supreme mantle go to Brother Voodoo. But I know if we saw that on launch again, it would be more "Marvel is catering to the PC/SJ crowd to try reach a demographic that is not the majority". Which is complete BS I only see on here, from people who aren't actually buying comics it seem. So I hope we see more of Marvel's occult and dark/dimensional characters show up, including Brother Voodoo :D

I've been a huge Doctor Strange fan for the longest, occult characters always get my attention and Strange's stories over the last decade have been some of the best for a character that hasn't changed much considering all the Marvel Universe changes. Bring back NIGHTSTALKERS and SUPERNATURALS!!

I'd really like to know how strange is going to be revived after being nuked by Doom at SW 4

Looking forward to this one

Usually am not a fan of Bachalo but his style should work well with this genre.

Are they going to address the fact that he is a murderer or just let that slide?

Bachalo+Aaron+Dr. Strange= TAKE MY MONEY NOW!!

He looks like a teenage Harry Potter cosplayer with a fake mustache and grey highlights.

@illmatic4177: Same here, the struggle is real

Very promising. Quickly becoming one of my top 3 or 5 anticipated books.

Definitely picking this up.

This looks like it could be good, will probably get this

I'm so hyped for this book.

Nice keeping up with the original trippyness of the Ditko Doctor Strange, I like it.

I actually would have liked Andrea Sorrentino to draw Doc Strange. His style would fit Strange perfectly.

But this is good also

Sweet

Hnnnnng he looks so cool I can't wait. :D

I'm curious whether this will eventually have a crossover with Scarlet Witch's ongoing.

I don't feel the art and never did for this artist. Also what happened to his white hair? Is he younger now?

Any good runs to read before this starts?

excited. this better not be a cheap movie promotion

No Cumberbatch variant?

Looks Amazing. Three Questions for the Veterans, since I'm only starting Secret Wars after the event is fully concluded: Is this OUR Strange [616], is he taking his mantle back, and any news on Ghost-Rider post Secret Wars?

Thanks

I'm so torn on this. I would love a Strange ongoing, and I like Bachalo.

But, the damn axe just bothers the hell out of me. I just don't want characters to randomly change out of nowhere (or because of a giant world's collide event, which is the same thing). If we get a good reason for this, fine. Random axe? I dunno.
