This March, Marvel Comics will introduce a new Sorcerer Supreme. Doctor Strange is dead, and another sorcerer - sorry, sorceress - is set to take that title for themselves. It's been confirmed that Clea, mistress of the Dark Dimension and Stephen Strange's powerful partner, will rise to the challenge of defending earth from mystical and otherworldly danger in Strange #1.
Written by Jed MacKay with art from Marcelo Ferreira, the ongoing series spins directly out of Death of Doctor Strange. Haunted by her recently returned memories, Clea longs to bring Stephen Strange back from the dead. However, when a mysterious group attacks the magical realm, Clea, now the sole protector of Earth against magical threats must rise to the duties of Sorcerer Supreme.
"After the apocalyptic events of The Death of Doctor Strange, there's a new Sorcerer Supreme in residence at 177A Bleecker Street, and a new Doctor Strange - Clea Strange," MacKay explains.
"When she's not fighting off the magical gangsters of the Blasphemy Syndicate, or battling undead super-monsters, she's going after what's hers: the late Stephen Strange. It's been really exciting to open up a new chapter in the world of Doctor (Clea) Strange, to get some new adventures going and some new weirdies on the table, and I can't wait for folks to come along with us!"
The first issue of Strange arrives in comic book stores on March 2, just in time for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' debut in theaters on May 6.
