Neilalien : A Doctor Strange Fansite : A Comic Book Weblog  

July 02022

Clea crashes the Hellfire Gala [X-Men: Hellfire Gala #1; out 13 Jul] to get Stephen resurrected, but Emma Frost informs her Krakoan resurrection only works for mutants and blows her off.

The X-Cellent [#3; out 18 May; Doc on cover] break into the Sanctum Sanctorum and take a photo of a spell from the Book of Vishanti with their cellphone, while Dr. Strange is off for one panel "trying to contain the Nameless One's servant, Morgan Le Fey."

The Strange Academy series ends with #18 [out 6 Jul] with most of the students rebelling and hiding out in the Sanctum Sanctorum (that place needs a serious security upgrade!) until things get... Dark... "Finals" series coming next.

Other recent appearances updating here...

Strange #4 is out today

Preview at Bleeding Cool

Comic Book Round Up collected reviews

Lovely Umar variant cover by Logan Lubera

"[A]n interesting series, but sadly one with a ticking clock on how long it can continue."

Harrumph: Surgeon Supreme #6 was Legacy #416. Strange #1 was Legacy #417. While past miniseries like Flight Of Bones haven't been included in the Dr. Strange legacy issue numbering, Neilalien is perturbed that huge Doc event The Death Of Doctor Strange miniseries was not part of the legacy numbering, but this Strange series is, that Doc isn't even in (so far). Also: Neilalien was having a small internal debate about if/how to include Strange in The Doctor Strange Story List if they are Clea stories without Doc. But if Strange is part of the Doc legacy numbering, then that debate ends: he must include this entire Clea series.
