Reviewer Notes
Uh oh, has the “Disney Message” finally come to the Sanctum Santorum? I noticed it slipped into last month’s issue of the Fantastic Four. Are the hard-core fans doomed to the Panderverse treatment even if it doesn’t help sell books? I guess we will have to see.
So the title character spends the last issue beefing up his game with all the powers and knowhow of the Trinity of Ashes – something General Strange has not done himself, and we are to believe fighting a five-thousand year stalemate somehow truncates all the power of the Vishanti and Trinity combined together? Come on, man!? Girl…Power…to the rescue, again I guess.
I’m giving issue nine of Doctor Strange a three out of five stars. We did get more Agents of W.A.N.D. goodness, but this has been the most interesting part of Volume 06 in my opinion. Hopefully in the next issue we clear the plate of the General Strange nonsense. Stick him back in his Crystal Prison, then bury the box underneath the Sanctum. Problem solved. Now bring us more of that ghost dog cuteness!
