The Empirikul are on earth as they try to eradicate magic; Dr Strange and some of the other magicians on earth may have opinions about this. Most of the action is the Empirikul getting rid of magicians. Again with the punching and Dr Strange, I've had hand damage, you just don't, also as someone who values their hands, you don't.
Larry Niven did a series with the death of magic and the rise of Science, and often there are issues with magic having a price that err on the side of draining others but overall it's an interesting look at the character and the cost of magic ( )

Absolutely loved the art in this one, and I think the writing was a touch better, if only because we saw the more serious Stephen Strange, my main complaint from the first volume being his flippancy.

That said, this story asks the question, what if Superman was a worshipper of science and wanted to rid the universe of magic? Yes, the Imperator was Superman. Period.

He did blather on quite a bit about science, which would have been fine, had he been actually talking real science. String theory. Quantum mechanics.

Instead, he came across much more like Thomas Dolby in his most famous song, occasionally shouting, "Science!" and that's about it.

Having said that, whenever the action moved away from him and over to Strange building an army of resistance fighters and scrounging the last vestiges of magic? Yeah, well, then the book was...well...magic.

Wish there was more of it.

However, it does set up an interesting new scenario, where the world of magic has been drastically scaled back.

Stand by for a storyline in about a year or two's time that wipes that limiting factor out and brings it all back again. Which, of course, it my main problem with Marvel comics. I just wish, when they did this earthshaking stuff, that they'd commit to it.

Overall, though, a decent enough story and lovely art. ( )

This volume collects issues 6 through 10 of the recent Doctor Strange comic book, detailing the culmination of Strange's battle against the Imperator and his Empirikul army, along with the standalone Doctor Strange: Last Days of Magic which belongs between issues 6 and 7. The latter in particular features a range of minor magic-powered superheroes. Jason Aaron's writing plays up the pathos of the destruction of magic, but is sometimes quite funny. Chris Bachalo's art is solid.

Zelda Stanton, the librarian whom Strange has taken on as an assistant, has several important roles to play in this plot arc. The flavor of the thing as a whole reminded me of the David Tennant Doctor Who episode "The Last of the Time Lords," with Zelda in the Martha Jones role.

Concludes the dark Empirikul storyline; super-science vs magic in the ultimate showdown. Definitely an entertaining read. ( )
