- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2017The second Dr Strange Epic, numbered as volume 13, skips straight to the end of his twentieth-century adventures, collecting material from 1994-1997. And it's rather a... confused ending, to say the least. Luckily, however, the opening and closing stories somewhat redeem the volume,
The book opens with a one-off Strange Tales story that sees the Doc, the Human Torch and the Thing tussle with mysterious forces on their friend Wyatt Wingfoot's home turf. It's a fun tale that plays with storytelling structure itself, and has some great painted art by Ricardo Villagran.
After that promising opening, we're into the regular book, and here's where the trouble starts. We find Stephen with a new long-haired, clean-shaven look, a new home and business, and a new kind of magic at his fingertips. There are various fairly unsatisfactory plotlines, but a sudden influx of revolving writers and artists sees those curtailed as we get ANOTHER new look, ANOTHER new kind of magic, etc. It's a period where the title is obviously struggling to find its own identity, and it leaves everything feeling half-finished and badly thought out.
Things pick up towards the end as new regulars J.M. DeMatteis and Mark Buckingham bring a measure of stability to the good Doctor, and turn in some genuinely fine stories ruminating on Strange's life, enemies and the nature of both magic and forgiveness. Sadly, it was to prove too little too late, as just when they had righted the ship, the book was cancelled. Certainly as a collected volume this seems like a somewhat downbeat way for the Sorcerer Supreme to end the 90s.
Luckily the Epic manages to finish on a high note nonetheless as a final graphic novel - What Is It That Disturbs You, Stephen? - rounds out the volume. Seeing Strange caught up in a fight between two sisters in the outlandish realm of Ditkopolis, the story's main draw is some gorgeous P. Craig Russell art that shows what wonderful and dreamlike vistas the character could inspire.
Extras this time round include the Dr Strange ashcan edition, an interview with Russell about the graphic novel, original art from the same, and a Swimsuit Special pinup. It's a wildly variable volume, and the scattered highpoints only just balance out the missed opportunities between them, so possibly one just for Strange completists.

5.0 out of 5 stars A long read well worth it
Fantastic stories of Strange trying to find himself and learning valuable lessons of letting go. Yes at first it might be confusing and hard to see where the story is going, but it all falls together.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing For Sure
I am not a hardcore fan of Doctor Strange but do throughly enjoy the character and the different dimensions and realities he can take you through. The beginning of the book may seem very off putting because of the different look but trust me, he fixes it. You don't need much back story to realize how and why he has the look because he explains it later on. At times the frames and color gave me a sense claustrophobia but I enjoy the new art style of comics so what do I know? I thought at first that that Strange Tales one shot was a part of the main story but it's not and neither is the "What is it That Disturbs You, Stephen?"
Overall, I gave it 4 stars because I enjoyed the arcs and found enjoyment in the stories and amazement and wonder in many of the frames.
