Mark Waid has finally written something again that has peaked my interest. Sending Doctor Strange to space doesn't sound like the most natural fit. But once it got going, it felt no different that Dr. Strange going to the crossroads of dimensions. Yes, he's lost touch with his magic once again which seems to be every writer's crutch on this book. But there's a twist at the end of this that shows there's more going on. I really like Waid's narration and characterization of Strange here, bringing

Doctor Strange in Space...sounds stupid? yet it somewhat works here. This is basically Strange trying to find his place again. After magic leaves him he feels empty. This is when Tony says, well dude, go into space. So he does. And in space he meets a alien lady who helps him travel the universe to reclaim his magic. In doing so he might meet some races more powerful than he expects, and the end he might have to make some big choices. This was pretty fun. When overly written in exposition and in...

Strange in space just doesnt work for me.

Doctor Strange In Space!Basically.The gist is that within a week, Strange goes from Sorcerer Supreme to nobody. Magic is gone. POOF! It disappeared (at least for Stephen) just like...well, magic.With a little help from Tony Stark, he heads off into outer space to see if he can find a bit of extra magic in the universe to Help recharge the Earth & himself. He gets captured by evil aliens, meets a new friend, and follows in Iron Man's footsteps by building some shit.It's a good story and I enjoyed...

Doctor Strange gradually loses his affinity for magic on Earth and takes to the stars for answers...Doctor Strange: Across the Universe collects Doctor Strange 1-5 by Mark Waid and Jesus Saiz. Saiz's art is gorgeous. He uses a lot of computer effects but he uses them very well. His aliens and planetary environs are superb and he draws a mean Stephen Strange.And now for the story. Mark Waid is very hit or miss for me. I loved him on Daredevil and his Indestructible Hulk was okay. Everything else

Doctor Strange fans have it rough. Imagine going years with Iron Man having no armor, Captain America having no shield, or Hulk never Hulking out. They are really beating this "death of magic" plot like a dead horse. And what are the rules here with this ongoing plotline? Sometimes he has his magic back, sometimes he has a little magic back, and sometimes he has no magic. And we have been told that all magic everywhere is gone, and now we are told just Earth's magic is gone. Make up your minds,

A fun story for sure!Stephen has sort of been having problems with magic on earth so he decides to go off world and well he meets with Tony first and from there we see him meet (in pace) a woman named Kanna, a techno-arcane and well him getting captured on some mysterious planet, escaping from there, doing some cosmic magic, fighting the Super-skrull to get back the time stone and then rescuing a dwarf from spome alien beings called Majesdane and in the process getting his mojo back and making h...

Doctor Strange in space, didn't feel it.

I read these issues individually as they were coming out before I had this Goodreads app. A few simple things, I like space, I like adventure and I like Dr. Strange. This book gave me all of that. Strange adventuring around thru space trying to fix an issue he was having was so entertaining. I even liked the idea of who helped him get there and new characters he met along the way. Plus I I thought it was awesome how he learned to make his own magical weapons.

I’m generally a big Mark Waid fan, though I wasn’t sure how his love of Golden and Silver-Age superhero tropes would translate to the Master of Mysticism, who tends to traffic in the weird and supernatural. He took an interesting approach—take Strange’s magic away and launch him into space in search of new sources of arcane energy—which worked, for the most part, thanks especially to Saiz’s stellar and eye-popping art. The last-page twist will definitely bring me back for more. But, all you real...

"Hear me, gods and devils everywhere! Is that the best you've got? This is my home! My world! My dimension! It is under my protection! I am magic incarnate! I am the SORCERER SUPREME!" -- Doctor Stephen Strange, master of the mystic artsIt goes without saying that if our title character makes such a foreshadowing boast in the volume's initial six pages that it will be immediately followed by a plot complication. Well, Across the Universe throws Strange a career curveball by having him lose his t...

Doctor Strange is back as the Sorcerer Supreme but oh no - he’s used up all of Earth’s magic, or something, and, on the advice of Iron Man, decides to seek out new sources of magic… across the universe! Jai guru Tony, om? Doctor Strange and Mark Waid are both hit and miss with me and unfortunately Doctor Strange, Volume 1: Across the Universe was mostly a miss. Jesus Saiz makes the comic look very pretty and I appreciated his expert artwork the most, but I found Waid’s story unremarkable. Stephe...

3.5 🌟 The Sorceror Supreme has lost his touch with magic again. He Can't seem to tap into any power around earth. I've seen this so many times in the last 4-5 years with this title. With an assist from Tony Stark the Doctor begins a sort of space Odyssy in search of magical artifacts on other worlds. At least this hasn't been done. The plot isn't game changing, but Waid writes narration, and dialogue well enough. The narrative portions felt very classic space adventur-esque, perhaps a nod to a p...

Fun, straightforward storytelling featuring the Sorcerer Supreme...IN SPACE!!!

[Read as single issues]After the assault of the Empirikul, Doctor Strange knew magic would be diminished for as long as he lived. But he didn’t expect it to vanish entirely. With magic gone, Strange turns to the stars for aid, and begins an intergalactic voyage alongside magical archaeologist Kanna in search of that which he has lost, not knowing that along the way he may just discover that even with his vast knowledge of magic, he may not have even scratched the surface of its power.Mark Waid’s...

I LIVE for a full story arc of Stephen Strange being condescended to by a lady alien. I also like that the comics seem to keep taking away his magic and rebooting his origin story, which is great because his original origin story is gross. They're coming closer and closer to confronting the colonialism of it all. Also he still has his ghost dog from the last reboot so upgrades all around!

If anything, Waid deserves some credit for putting Dr. Strange in a non-traditional setting (think Magician...in...SPAAACE!) Unfortunately, the catalyst for this has been used time and again most recently in Aaron's run (all magic has disappeared) but it's all about the journey, right? Strange sets off into space to try and "find magic" which is a metaphor for the reader to find out just who Strange really is. Waid steps into the lake of Stephen's arrogance but doesn't quite dive in. Hopefully,

One of the best Marvel books I’ve read in a while, and possibly my favorite Doctor Strange boom so far.This takes the Doctor into space, and focuses on some truly wild cosmic stuff. The setup is shrouded in mystery, but the beats are decisive, fast paced and really fun.Jesús Saiz’s art is really spot on here, and Mark Waid tells us a compelling story with intriguing and loveable characters and fast paced action. Judah likey!
