"I'd never read a Doctor Strange comic before. Shortly after the film I was asking around about the comics. I'd heard that there'd been some great comics and some not-so-great, which isn't that unique I guess. This volume was recommend to me as one of the more entertaining, classic style adventures. I had a blast reading this one. It's full of the kind of weirdness the film didn't want to get into with some beautifully drawn action panels. The humor is pretty good and the characterization felt natural. Most of the time I was reading it I was wishing Robert Downey Jr. had played Doctor Strange instead of Tony Stark. Strange is much snarkier and wittier than Stark feels in the comics. No matter, this is still a fun read that doesn't require a lot of knowledge to understand."

Doctor Strange Vol 1 The Way of the Weird Jason Aaron Chris Bachalo Books Reviews
- The Way of the Weird collects issues 1-5 of the current run of Doctor Strange.
First off, I love the art. Since they couldn't get Steve Ditko from the late 1960's to illustrate, Chris Bachalo is the next best thing. I loved his run on Shade the Changing Man during the 1990's and he's a perfect fit for Doctor Strange's dimension-spanning adventures.
The story is pretty good as well. Magic is going haywire and someone is killing off the wizards across the multiverse one by one. The menace of the Emperikul has me jonesing for the next book. I love the Bar Without Doors and the addition of Zelma to the supporting cast. I also like what secret things Wong has been doing in the background.
However, I couldn't justifying rating this higher. Structurally, the plot seems really similar to Aaron's plot in Thor God of Thunder, Vol. 1 The God Butcher. Also, I didn't feel like a whole lot actually happened, mostly setup for future volumes. Some kind of payoff would have been nice. It was good and I'll read the next volume but I'm not looking forward to it as much as the next Vision trade. - This is the first Doctor Strange book that I've ever read. I had heard a lot of good things about the good doctor and his current series, and recently I went and saw his movie and was impressed with what I had seen. So I decided to give this book a try. And I was not disappointed in the slightest. The story was pretty straightforward. Doctor Strange at first was dealing with other people's odd mystical problems (a typical day for him). When suddenly he started encountering various creatures and situations that were weird even for him, and he didn't understand why. It was a very intriguing story, and as it played out, I was left wondering "What is Doctor Strange going to do now?". In other words, it left me wanting more. The art was very vivid, and it depicted Doctor Strange, his spells, and the mystical creatures and places he encountered very well. Overall, I would recommend this book to both new (like me) and old Strange fans.
- This is easily my favorite book of all the new titles Marvel has launched lately.
Really, when I think about it, its one of my favorite (current) comics period.
I have always been intrigued by Doctor Strange. I have been a disciple of his since I was a wee little one. I've followed most of his adventures and am fairly well versed with his position and history in the Marvel universe.
That said, I can say with full confidence that this is easily the best Doctor Strange material that has been printed...ever.
Really.
And the best part is, you don't need to know anything about the dude before diving into this series. It's completely newb-friendly. Jason Aaron does a fantastic job filling readers in on all the information that they need. He weaves the story in a masterful way, engaging us as readers without making us feel like we are slogging through a giant info dump. everything he says has a reason, time, and place.
It really is masterful comic book storytelling.
And those double page spreads? Holy crap...Chris Bachalo nails it! I loved his work in Wolverine & the X-Men (also with Jason Aaron) and the greatness continues here in Doctor Strange. Bachalo has a way of filling a page or panel that makes me want to linger on it way longer than I normally ever would with any other artist. He has so many little secrets and tidbits in his art that can easily be missed at a cursory glance. Given the time, readers will constantly find new little treasures that they may have missed the first read through.
Talk about a treat.
Anyways, Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo absolutely nail it! This is a terrific read that should not be missed! Its dream team material and really shows off how great and fun comic book reading can be!
Bravo! - I'd never read a Doctor Strange comic before. Shortly after the film I was asking around about the comics. I'd heard that there'd been some great comics and some not-so-great, which isn't that unique I guess. This volume was recommend to me as one of the more entertaining, classic style adventures. I had a blast reading this one. It's full of the kind of weirdness the film didn't want to get into with some beautifully drawn action panels. The humor is pretty good and the characterization felt natural. Most of the time I was reading it I was wishing Robert Downey Jr. had played Doctor Strange instead of Tony Stark. Strange is much snarkier and wittier than Stark feels in the comics. No matter, this is still a fun read that doesn't require a lot of knowledge to understand.
- What is going on?! Doctor Strange is re-imagined by Aaron and Bachalo to create a very charismatic and very weird Doctor Strange. The artwork is some of the best to be seen and it's what makes this probably the best run of Doctor Strange. Bachalo makes the first 11 issues of this series extraordinary by breaking traditional comic book panels that make the pages feel alive with magic and demons. DO NOT READ THIS BOOK UNDER HALLUCINOGENICS. You will enjoy it too much and never be able to experience visual ecstasy again. Aaron's writing also creates the Doctor Strange we can really appreciate. He knows he's good, but he doesn't take himself as seriously as in the past. He's quirky and he's weird and he's actually very fun to read.
The plot concerns Doctor Strange and a phenomena where creatures have invaded our dimension from other dimensions. Doctor Strange, in his quest to figure out what is happening realizes there is a greater threat happening, with magic disappearing and destroying worlds. Eventually, Doctor Strange and the other mages of the world face the treat head-on, having to rely on little to no magic at all. A run of 10 issues that ties is perfectly one after another that leaves you both chuckling and in suspense.
