When an alien sorcerer banishes Galactus to the Dark Dimensions, the Eater of Worlds runs amok. Can Doctor Strange bring Galactus back to his home dimension and restore the cosmic balance?
Doctor Strange: Herald collects issues 12-17 of Doctor Strange.
Mark Waid's run on Doctor Strange continues, this time with Barry Kitson at the art helm. When the Sorcerer Supreme goes up against the Devourer of Worlds, things take an unexpected turn.
Kitson's art does a great job portraying alien dimensions and Waid certainly stacks the deck against Doctor Strange. When Mephisto and Dormammu are pulling the strings of Galactus, you know shit is serious. Seeing Clea, Umar, Strange, and the magic and space allstars of the Marvel Universe try to stop Galactus was a spectacle worthy of a crossover that derails a lot of books but it was fairly self-contained.
My one pet peeve is that Marvel can't wait to have its heroes make deals with the devil. Just when it looked like Waid might do something interesting with Clea for the first time in years, the rug gets yanked out from under us.
Mark Waid and Barry Kitson exceeded my expectations on this one. Four out of five Wands of Watoomb.

Maybe I'll never love comic Dr. Strange like I love Benedict Cumberbatch Stephen Strange. The comics are so much about gods and astral planes that they feel like DC issues. They miss the most attractive Marvel concept: the human element. He's full of hubris and arrogance. That's fine I'll get my fix from the movies.

ugh I started grudgingly enjoying Doctor Strange books for the weird humor and magical shit, I don't care about Galactus!!! I don't care about Galactus AT ALL. this book had only TWO PANELS of Bats the Ghost Dog. A terrible ratio for my interests.

A real throwback and I loved it. Cosmic beings, characters we never see, endlessly complicated plots about dire galactic implications! LOVED IT!

Brilliant cosmic-level destruction. Part Lovecraftian, part the original brilliance Ditko embedded in the character. This is Strange at his best.
