With the push next year for the theatrical production of the Doctor Strange film going to be out there, it’s no surprise that next month will see the debut of a new ongoing comic series for the character once again. The first issue lands on October 7th, 2015 and Marvel is now giving us a look at the main cover, a few pages, and a slew of really interesting variants for it. The new ongoing series comes from writer Jason Aaron (Star Wars, Thor) and artist Chris Bachalo (Uncanny X-Men, Avengers).
This issue also contains a bonus five-page story by Jason Aaron and industry legend Kevin Nowlan setting up major story-threads!
Plot concept: Prepare for a side of the Marvel Universe you’ve never seen before as the magical, mystical and all things weird lie at every turn! And if you don’t know where to turn – call the Doctor. From inside his Sanctum Sanctorum – the Master of the Mystic Arts defends the Marvel Universe from any and all supernatural threats.
But a dark new power is rising. One that will have repercussions for all magic users. The threat is growing, and Strange knows he won’t be powerful enough to stop it. If he is to have any kind of hope, it’ll take a new kind of Sorcerer Supreme. Because all magic comes with a price, and it’s high time Stephen Strange balanced the scales.
The epic adventure begins this October as Marvel’s mightiest magician takes a battle axe straight to evil in DOCTOR STRANGE #1!
