Marvel Announces Death of Doctor Strange
The Marvel Universe will lose its Sorcerer Supreme in Death of Doctor Strange this September. First teased last week, Marvel Comics officially announced the Death of Doctor Strangeminiseries on Monday, confirming the creative team of writer Jed MacKay (Black Cat, Moon Knight) and artist Lee Garbett (Captain Marvel). The five-issue series brings Stephen Strange’s vigil as the defender of Earth from all supernatural threats — which began in 1963’s Strange Tales #110 from Stan Lee and Steve Ditko — to its end. But without Doctor Strange, who will defend the Earth in the Sorcerer Supreme’s place? According to Marvel, that, along with discovering who killed the hero, is the story of Death of Doctor Strange.
“‘What happens to the world if Doctor Strange isn’t in it?’ It’s a question that I’m excited to show people the answer to in Death of Doctor Strange,” MacKay said in a press release. “Strange has been a Marvel fixture from the early days, but now, his time has run out and as a Strange fan, it’s been my bittersweet privilege to shepherd him through his last day and the effects that snowball out of it. We’ve cooked up a whale of a story to send Strange off with, and I can’t wait for people to join us on it!”
