DOCTOR STRANGE #17 – State of Misery
Published February 15, 2017 by Marvel Comics. Written by
Jason Aaron and illustrated by Frazer Irving.
Back at the sanctum santorum of the good doctor is playing
mediator to two factions and diverts a conflict but while this issue is
resolved he and Zelma continue trying to find Wong and Misery. While they look
magic is slowly returning to the world.
Wong and Misery debate whether Misery can defeat Doctor
Strange and Misery is convinced he can undo the Doctor’s past work.
Stephen takes the search to his drinking magical buddies on
a motorcycle. However, it’s not magic users that may provide help in locating
Wong but Man-Thing. That is after Stephen rids the Man-Thing of Nazi Ninja
Vampires for which he gives the doctor some algae.
Misery begins the reworking of Dr. Strange’s past work in neurosurgery
and when Stephen finally catches up to Misery’s gruesome handy work and he
brings a new player to assist with the
work to be done.
Besides the fantasy and magic to these stories I really
enjoy the underlying humor. Or at least it’s funny to me! What’s Misery’s
angle? Why can’t he just get along with Doctor Strange? My
comic reading is lot like my own life in that I really don’t know too much as
to what’s going on outside my own story and so I only catch glimpse and peeks about
other stories so when a popular character arrives I really don’t know what’s
going on in their world and I’ll just let the story happen and enjoy! There are
two characters with one possibly taking a leading role in the next issue. The story is yet
another bizarre odyssey through the multiverse and the restoration of magic to
the world…
