No longer Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, Stephen Strange will embark on adventures in Asgard and beyond this December in Doctor Strange, a new ongoing comic book series by acclaimed writer Derek Landy (Infinity Watch) and rising star artist Ivan Fiorelli (Fantastic Four).

Legendary fantasy illustrator Alex Horley, meanwhile, has been enlisted to provide breathtaking painted artwork for the comic's main covers. 

Doctor Strange explores the character’s bold new status quo as Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard. Following Thor’s rebirth as a mortal in Al Ewing and Pasqual Ferry’s newly launched Thor run, Asgard’s connection to Midgard has been shattered, leaving Strange no way to return to Earth. Instead, Strange will team up with Angela, in her long-awaited return, for a true Journey Into Mystery across the other realms.

Armed with new abilities and weapons thanks to his growing proficiency with Asgardian magic, Strange will discover the wonder these otherworldly realms truly have to offer—along with the ancient threats submerged in their mythologies. 

Here's the official description for Doctor Strange #1:

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!

Landy shared, "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."

"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," the writer teased. 

Check out the debut issue's cover below, along with variant covers by Luciano Vecchio and Fanyang, and stay tuned for more on this new Doctor Strange series as we have them.

@KennKathleen - Spawn could become a much bigger (and better) character at Marvel, shame that only Angela switched sides

@Urubrodi - It only happened because rapist Neil Gaiman sold the character to Marvel to spite McFarlane. And Marvel is the House of No Ideas, so they jumped at buying a character with a common first name. It was either that or make Gwen-Thor.

@Urubrodi - I just think this would be one of the greatest crossovers of all time. This idea speaks to my inner 🤓. I'm loving the possibilities.

@Urubrodi - I also like Spawn at Image. He could've never pulled off the stories that made him who he is at MARVEL or DC.

Think about issues 1-30 alone. No way! 😄

@KennKathleen - That's true but I think now it has reached a point where he has become stagnant. In Image he will remain as this really badass but cult character. It's hard to get in the spotlight outside of the Marvel/DC shadow. Few properties have managed big prominence independently, some exceptions are Invincible (that has the advantage of having it's huge universe and animated show), Hellboy, The Boys (mainly cause of the TV show). And there are those cult classics that have already passed their peak days like Spawn and The Mask. The lack of a larger universe provided them the freedom to have stories that you won't find in Marvel/DC but limited their reach.

@PartyKiller - Someone offers you an established character with a cult following and you're gonna say no? Of course they took her.

@Urubrodi - I'd put Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Walking Dead on that list too. Hmm, Invincible and Walking Dead are both Kirkman properties. Maybe the dude's got something.

@Urubrodi - Spawn is a gem waiting to be discovered.

It's a story that spans from Black Romance - DEATH Metal.

It takes talent to properly pull that many layers of story together, but I would love to see an attempt by the collaborative efforts of Aaron Mcgruder and Donald Glover.

Give me Johnathan Majors as Al, turn Michael J. White into Chapel, Megan Good as Wanda, Karl Urban as Jason Wynn, Danny Devito as the Violater, Keith David as Malbolgeia, Andy McDermott as 5 Years later Al and go from there.

I've spoken on this in the past. I wanted to keep White as Al, but I think it'd be interesting to make him Chaple. The wartime superior/friend of Al, who got extremely bloody in combat.

I'm also thinking Terry Cruise as Terry Fitzgerald, maybe even turn him into Anti-Spawn.

The sky is the limit IF the story had the right backing.

@ObserverIO - Damn, the Turtles! Shouldn't have overlooked them. But yes Kirkman is one of the few that have managed to break from the Marvel/DC bubble successfully.

@KennKathleen - Honestly probably one of the only chances Spawn has got to get out of obscurity is through a movie, but don't see any major studio taking a gamble on it. So the likelihood of such a cast is low. If we ever get that indie movie that has been promised for ages we should already celebrate.

@Urubrodi - I'd take that bet. The story still has too much potential imo.

@Urubrodi - There was no cult following. And even if there was, Marvel is still The House Of No Ideas.

It should be retconned that Angela is the daughter of Odin and Gaea instead of Frigga and I really hope this leads to not only Stephen getting back the mantle of Sorceror Supreme and sharing the mantle with Wanda Maximoff but for him and Angela to reunite the Defenders.
