Doctor Strange #12 – Blood in the Aether Part 1
Published October 5, 2016 by Marvel Comics. Written by Jason
Aaron and illustrated by Chris Bachalo.
His name is Strange. Doctor Stephen Strange. And his misery
is named Misery. Mister Misery. The pain Stephen Strange kept in the cellar has
given it’s self a name and it calls itself Mister Misery. Opening the new story
arc we find the pain Stephen and Wong bound up terrorizing a hospital ward
thirsty for more pain. Luckily, Strange arrives in time to gum up Mister Misery’s
wreak of havoc on the hospital but trying to hail a cab with a glowing sword
can be challenging.
Later he learns of Mordo’s return and some how Mordo is able
to still use magic. Mordo is now a servant of the Dormammu of the Dark
Dimension and the source of Mordo’s magic. When Stephen and Mordo finally meet
it’s an apple in the eye that the doctor uses to escape the stronger magic of
Mordo. But where Strange ends up is at the whim of Nightmare.
A new story arc begins in Doctor Strange #12 and Chris
Bachalo returns to bring the pictures. The Doctor Strange series is definitely
keeping my attention. The writing has a tinge of humor and satire at times that
make it interesting and the way the magically world of Doctor Strange is
presented is intriguing. Bachalo’s Dormammu and Nightmare are ace. Mister
Misery is going to make a great side story to come I’m sure. I like the
character and the way it seems to help and also hinder Stephen at times is truly
entertaining. One of the aspects of Mister Misery is the dialog he engages in
with Strange. It’s dark and eerie at times. It’s unsettling and keeps you off
your center while you try to digest his meaning. It’s great.
