I've never heard of these before, and we're already on the second wave? Granted I don't follow Marvel closely at all, but...

So are they any good? Sounds like a rip off of the DC Earth One format, but if they're good I might take a run at it.

@novaprime- These will only be slight alterations of previously regurgitated ideas (IMHO). However, I am little bit curious how the Dr. Strange story will turn out.
