While the Sorcerer Supreme looks set to take centre stage in Spider-Man: No Way Home this December, his comic book counterpart's days are numbered. The last moments in the life of Stephen Strange are upon us in Death of Doctor Strange, a five-issue series that promises to reveal the tragic fate of the sorcerer supreme and the consequences his demise will unleash on the Marvel Universe.
Writer Jed MacKay and artist Lee Gabrett unite for this terrifying tale filled with deadly new villains, mystical feats, and complex mysteries that all the Marvel Universe's heroes will be desperate to solve! Now, a trailer has been released offering a much better idea of what we can expect.
"'What happens to the world if Doctor Strange isn't in it?' It's a question that I'm excited to show people the answer to in Death of Doctor Strange," MacKay says. "Strange has been a Marvel fixture from the early days, but now, his time has run out and as a Strange fan, it's been my bittersweet privilege to shepherd him through his last day and the effects that snowball out of it. We've cooked up a whale of a story to send Strange off with, and I can't wait for people to join us on it!"
"Doctor Strange has long been top of my 'most coveted character' list. To finally get chance to draw him in such a momentous series is...well, magic," Garbett adds. "I couldn’t be more excited for the project and for everyone to see what we’ve got in store for Stephen and those closest to him. Jed’s conjured the perfect finale for Doctor Strange - and it’s a real third eye-opener!"
Death of Doctor Strange #1 is set to be released on September 22!
