The Press Release:
Celebrate 450 issues of spellbinding adventure and magical mystery this September in DOCTOR STRANGE #450, a giant-size one-shot packed with all-new stories set across different eras of Doctor Stephen Strange!

Michael Straczynski, along with a host of superstar artistic talent including Ron Lim and Ivan Fiorelli. In addition, acclaimed creator Christian Ward makes his Marvel writing debut on a story that he’ll also draw.
Stephen’s quest to become the Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard is currently unfolding, a key development in the ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM event. In DOCTOR STRANGE #450, Landy will continue to explore this fantastical new direction for Strange and reveals a glimpse at what comes next!
As turmoil seizes Asgard, Doctor Strange’s life is about to change forever. But as he stands on the threshold of a true journey into mystery, it turns out the past isn’t quite done with him yet…
“For 62 years, Stephen Strange had guided readers through the magical realms of Marvel, steering us from one mind-bending horror to the next. As a writer, to be given the chance to turn the tables, to be a part of this milestone issue and, within it, to steer the good doctor towards the dark adventures that await him, is a thrill beyond measure,” Landy shared.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Though I’ve been remiss about being a regular reader of “Doctor Strange” over the years, one of my very favorite reads when I was buying a whole lot more of the regular series was his original title. For me as a younger reader it was such a different thing from the classic knock them down superhero stuff and just so exciting to find Strange warding off supernatural threats to our existence on a monthly basis. This one-shot edition will definitely be on my comic book pull list and maybe I will even get a second copy so I can have one ready for New York Comic Con if I end up going. It would be nice to get some of the creative team members to sign the cover. Wrapping up I wonder what you out there in the readership think about this one Are you a fan of “Doctor Strange” already and will be adding this to your own pull list? Chime in down below in the comments section and I will see you again soon.
