Doctor Strange is no longer the Sorcerer Supreme — at least of Earth. But after the conclusion of Doctor Strange of Asgard, Little Stevie will be hanging around Thor’s home for a while longer in the new, ongoing Doctor Strange series by Derek Landy and Ivan Fiorelli.
Following up on the events of next month’s Doctor Strange #450 one-shot, and Al Ewing and Pasqual Ferry’s run on Thor, the connection between Earth and Asgard has been shattered, leaving Strange stranded. So he does want any does, and looks to an angel — specifically Angela — and the two of them take a “Journey Into Mystery across the other realms.”
“You might think that Stephen Strange is on firmer ground now that he’s become Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard, but he’s about to be shoved face first into dangerous new territory, and his only guide is the baddest Angel of them all — Angela!” Landy said via press release. “I’m beyond thrilled to be working with Ivan and Dono [Sánchez-Almara] on continuing Strange’s adventures away from Midgard, and the fact that we also get to delve a little deeper into Angelic society on Heven, and how it interacts with the rest of the Ten (now Nine!) Realms, is a huge and unexpected bonus. In a determined effort to stay true to the origins of the character, the story we’re telling is only going to get bigger, crazier, and more mind-bending — and we’re inviting all of you along for the ride.”
Added Fiorelli, “Jumping into Doctor Strange’s world has been pure artistic joy. It’s so different from anything I’ve worked on before, and it lets me go wild with the weird, magical elements that make his stories so unique. On top of that, getting to design new characters from scratch is an incredible honor, knowing they’ll join the Marvel Universe forever. Paired with Derek’s thrilling story and Dono’s jaw-dropping colors, this is an adventure fans won’t want to miss!”
Doctor Strange #1 will feature covers by Luciano Vecchio, Fanyang, and a main cover by Alex Horley. You can check those out below alongside the synopsis and a few design sheets. The issue hits stores on December 3.
STEPHEN STRANGE, STRANDED!
After becoming Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard, Strange lost his chance at redemption—and revenge against Doom—when Loki murdered Thor, cutting Midgard off from the other nine realms. With no way home and few allies remaining in Asgard, Strange travels to Alfheim to investigate an emerging crisis. But in an unfamiliar land, can Strange prevent elves and angels from going to war over a mysterious coffin? Maybe, with some help from Heven’s own Angela!
