The issue is split between a flashback to Strange's earliest days and some modern-day adventures.
I'm also split about the "early days" adventure. On one hand, it's wonderfully drawn by Kevin Nowlan, a terrific, expressive artist whose work we just don't get enough of (he also supplied the cover). On the other hand, the story by Jason Aaron includes a minor retcon that feels completely unnecessary.
The modern day story, drawn by Leonardo Romero, is a bit lighter and fun as we see Strange fighting to pick up the pieces after the near-destruction of the magic in this reality.
The series continues to be a strong direction for the Sorcerer Supreme (assuming he still has that title) - it's a great mix of action, terrific characters, smart stories and a dollop of humor.
Recommended!
