Are There Roaming Charges in the Dark Dimension?

June 14th, 2005

Filed under: Comics

The final page from Strange #6. I’m sure the artist is trying to portray Dr. Strange as sitting there in his chair, pensively waiting for the next mystical attack on Earth.

To me it just looks like he’s talking on some sort of extra-dimensional telephone.

    Warding off a mystical attack is very similar to talking on a cell phone: you stick your finger in your ear, and start shouting very loud about something other than the topic being discussed around you.

    At least that’s what the guy in the tinfoil hat said…

    I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping that this series isn’t the official “new origin” for Doctor Strange. JMS takes 6 issues to badly retell a story that was a lot better when Stan and Steve told it in 1 issue. Or that might just be me.

    My goodness, you mean issue #6 is out? I hope the store has a few left…

    I agree with Jonathan, though, that this story is inferior to the original “origin” of Dr. Strange.
