Doctor Stephen Strange is the Master of the Mystic Arts. Earth's Sorcerer Supreme. A one-man barrier protecting our world from all the nightmares, demons and warlords out there in dimensions beyond our comprehension. So what happens...when Doctor Strange is murdered? As his friends mourn -- and his enemies rage at having been deprived of the killing blow -- dark forces set their sights on an unprotected Earth. The Avengers...the Fantastic Four...all of our mightiest heroes are woefully out of their depth. Now, as the world's remaining magicians race to protect our world from an unimaginable sorcerous threat, one very surprising investigator must unravel the mystery of Doctor Strange's murder. But can he do it before his own time runs out? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This particular death unfolds in two inter-connected arcs. The first is a murder mystery asking who stabbed Stephen Strange through the heart and stole his hands. The second is a giant cosmic showdown with magic-eating variant on Galactus called the Peregrine Child, who even has his own Silver Surfer-type heralds who seek out and soften up his next target.
For the mystery, a "surprise investigator" slowly follows the clues and calls all the suspects together to finger the perpetrator as investigators have been doing for centuries now. Call it homage or call it trope, either way it's dull as all get out. I had absolutely no interest in who actually did it before or after the reveal. For the cosmic battle, dozens of superheroes smack and/or team up with a dozen villains to against all odds defeat the big bad. Ain't a spoiler if it's the same recipe used in every superhero confection.
Stephen Strange has always been a C-level hero for me, and I've only ever read his comic books out of completist urges rather than any actual desire to enjoy his adventures. This is more of the meh that has cloaked him since his first appearance.
I did enjoy the first Benedict Cumberbatch movie though, and look forward to seeing the sequel coming out soon. I'm hoping this book isn't under consideration for the storyline of the third film. ( )
