Overheard in a comic con bathroom:

"We have a new character... named Dr. Strange... Twas Steve's idea."
- Stan Lee, letter to Comic Reader #16, 23 February 01963, as quoted in Steve Ditko's 32-Page Package v.5 Tsk! Tsk!

"I'm telling you, the only reason that Neilalien has lasted so long is because he kills younger, more innocent, bloggers and drinks their blood in some twisted Ditko-inspired mystical ceremony."
- Fanboy Rampage 10/17/02005

"Is that the Eye of Yaphet Kotto?"
- A demon, Marvel Comics Presents #20

"The funny thing about that is that comic books and wrestling are two of the original arts that America has given to the world- the other being jazz."
- CM Punk, Inked Magazine interview 3/23/02012

Creators/Publishers: Neilalien would love to help,
but he does not accept free comics or review submissions.

"Do not accept for review a book you are
predisposed to dislike, or committed by
friendship to like." - John Updike

Book Excerpt- 'From Superman To Spawn: How Hollywood Got Rich While Creators Got Poor' by Daniel Best

Excerpted chapter is about the 01990 Captain America movie

Early ads said "Based on Stan Lee's Marvel Comic Strip Character" yikes!

The screenwriter had never read a Captain America comic; "decades of stories and mythos built by Simon, Kirby, Lee, Gene Colan, John Romita, Steve Englehart, J.M. deMatties, Roger Stern, John Byrne, Mike Zeck, Jim Steranko and countless others" were merely "bullshit" to be "dropped"

Why superhero films work: correct decisions about what to retain from the source material and what to change; the viewer's suspension of disbelief

Doctor Strange #13 is out!

Preview at AIPT

Collected reviews at Comic Book Round Up

Variant cover regime at Midtown Comics [like the Nicoletta Baldari]

Entry at Fandom Marvel Database

Cobolorum, a role-playing game worthy of a Satanic panic, has run amok trapping kids, so Dr. Strange Jumanji-enters the game world with a new set of Secret Defenders as a classic Dungeons & Dragons party: Doc as magic-user, Black Cat at thief, Taskmaster as fighter, and Hunter's Moon as cleric- but Baron Mordo is the DM! Happy to report Pasqual Ferry is back as artist.

One nitpick: There's a panel that shows Black Cat in her thief role saving Doc from a sprung sword-wall trap, but the Eye of Agamotto is shown as being in operation. The Eye should have easily detected the traps. Doc could really handle a lot of the dungeoneering stuff himself- the Eye can probably be about as frustrating for a DM/writer as a wand of secret door and trap location- but you don't have to go that route and nuke the story. There should definitely be traps. Just show Black Cat saving an impulsive Taskmaster from a trap in that panel instead. Or at least show the Eye as closed, if Doc must be a cursed novice here.

- -

Additional recent Doctor Strange appearances and such:

The Sentry #3 [out 21 Feb]
Jessica Jones and Misty Knight consult with Doc and Clea about a glowing man who has bestowed the powers of the Sentry to some random people- and sigh- it's spun as Doc's fault being incompetent by showing mercy and missing a Blasphemy Cartel agent who didn't get mindwiped.
Finale for this Series #4 out already 6 Mar.
No Doc- but it's explained why Clea didn't detect more Sentries than she competently should have in #3.

Daredevil #6 [out 21 Feb]
Doc can't or won't do anything against demons that are hurting people because they are Matt Murdock's demons? Sigh- the plot armor is strong with this one...

Thanos #4 [out 6 Mar]
Finale for this series. Still lots of Illuminati/Doc present, powerless and clueless to de-escalate the fight between Thanos and Mistress Death. Death gives Doc a glimpse of his original car accident, his recent stabby demise... and a baby is there? Is that re: the Timeless foreshadowing again showing Doc happily with Clea and a baby? Or is that just Doc's own birth? No forehead ankh to really spook Doc? (Neilalien dislikes almost all cheap-heat/false-drama over-uses of the forehead ankh, but since Doc overcame Death to get it, it's OK here for Death to use it as part of her threat. Just show it on that backwards falling Doc body in the collage.)

Captain Marvel #2-5 [#5 out 21 Feb]

What If?... Venom #1 [out 28 Feb]
This series is apparently "What if Venom bonded with X, bonded with Y, etc." This first issue cover is a mashup of all the different bondees; Eye and Cloak are included. #1 is She-Hulk; #2 looks like Wolverine; #3 will be Doctor Strange, out 18 Apr.

The Doc Doll: Doctor Strange in Captain America #3-6 [#6 out 7 Feb]

Doc on the cover of #6. Doc assists Cap against a serial killer empowered by the demon Asmoday- your standard "normie hero encounters the occult and needs Doc's help" appearance- but not a team-up- as mystical advisor, and eventually by placing the Eye of Agamotto in the middle of Cap's shield to create the most absurdly powerful frisbee of all time.

But more importantly, something new starting in #3: Doc Doll! Doc has apparently invested a small piece of himself into 47 figurines- creepy little dolls that look like him- avatars, astral-projection range extenders (like wi-fi?), etc.- and gave them to trusted allies around the world. He can project his astral form into them, animate them, and interact with the physical world in ways he can't while in astral form.

And in a pinch, you only need the head of Doc Doll! It pops right off. It likes finding mints in pockets.

The command words: The Wizard of Oz's "There's no place like home."

Neilalien enjoys this idea. It's Dr. Strange- creative, magickal, and a little creepy. And funny. Daredevil can't do this. We've seen Doc astrally enter people and control their bodies many times before.

But: Neilalien is concerned. Isn't this a huge vulnerability for Doc now? Did he have to "invest a small piece of himself"? Hasn't he just distributed 47 voodoo dolls that can be used against him now? Wasn't Young Emergency Strange when Doc died also a spun-off part of himself? How much of "himself" has he got?

Captain America's New Sidekick Is The Most Unnerving Sorcerer Supreme Of All Time [CBR]

Fan speculation list: Who are the 47 allies who got figurines? [Doctor Strange Daily Appreciation]

Note the figurine used in this appearance is in the possession of Misty Knight; she is one of Doc's allies, and/or the figurine was given to the Aberrant Crimes Division of the FBI

Only needing the doll's head reminds of tropes Cranial Processing Unit and Oracular Head

"In Blood Hunt, writer Jed MacKay and artist Pepe Larraz bring together the Avengers, Doctor Strange, Clea, Moon Knight's brother Hunter's Moon, Tigra, Spider-Man, Bloodline, and Blade to take on an army of vampires as they sink their fangs into the Marvel Universe."

The expanded 'mature' issues of Blood Hunt will be polybagged in full on red band sleeves that will make it clear which edition is which, and prevent prying eyes from looking at the gory bits without purchasing the issues. Each of the five issues of the core Blood Hunt series will get a Red Band Edition alongside its main release." [GamesRadar+/Newsarama]

A Timeless issue came out 27 Dec 02023. Marvel has published a Timeless one-shot the last couple Decembers with a timey-wimey story- Kang was the POV of past Timelesses but maybe not anymore with the Jonathan Majors collapse?- that's supposed to include teasers for the following year's comics.

This year's story has a white-bearded Luke Cage Power Man, "master of the living weapons" with the powers of Sentry, Hulk, and Iron Fist, in a post-Age-of-Heroes Khonshu-dominated future dystopia fighting against Danny Rand as a Moon Knight with Stark-Iron-Man tech and the Eye of Agamotto.

This Timeless "for 02024" has two Doc-related "teaser images", among many time-disjointed collages and panels, causing speculation:

1. Doc happily with Clea and a baby. (Thought the baby would be Donna, but it's shown younger than Donna already. Doc issue #11 did have all that baby talk...)
2. Doctor Doom strutting with Eye and Cloak.

Neilalien mostly dismissed these images as in-story "Prime Minister Electro" multiverse future stuff. But do these images apply, when the hype machine says Timeless is supposed to show "a SHOCKING glimpse into the next year of Marvel stories". Isn't said "glimpse" simply the page at the end of the comic with all the #1 covers, and the X-Men "from the ashes" reboot page- not actually anything in the story? We're supposed to believe this year's comics and character choices set up this Khonshu dystopia? Did the past issues of Timeless have many accurate in-story teasers for the following year (02021's teased Miracleman/Marvelman)?

But some have scuttlebutted, namely Bleeding Cool and the headline-clickbait websites, that these images mean huge changes are afoot for Doctor Strange, Doctor Doom will be Sorcerer Supreme in 02024, etc. Neilalien hopes not! Also, that the upcoming Blood Hunt event is a possible vehicle for these Doc changes, since it's supposed to kill someone off (Doc dead again?! So soon already?!).

Timeless #1 Review: Flash Forward To A Story No One Needed ["The collage sequences inserted at moments tied to the time travel tropes provide some hints at crossovers and events for a few key franchises in the year ahead... while the issue might tease big things for the Marvel universe, it's still ultimately not that satisfying a read on its own... bound by its very nature to never qualify as more than an advertisement"] [ComicBook.com]

AI Is Coming To Comics Whether We Like It Or Not. Are There Ways It Could Help?
[Rob Salkowitz column on ICv2]
[AI can help with compiling and analyzing sales data, marketing, translations, reconfiguring comics from the printed page format to the digital infinite-vertical scroll, etc... but then the more humble jobs of backgrounds and coloring are next... "labor-saving" becomes "labor replacement"... please don't use it to actually write and draw... the myth of the frustrated storyteller now empowered by AI tools to give voice to their imagination... removing the frustration and skill-mastery that might be necessary for art/creation...]

Update: More Salkowitz/ICv2: Is A Post-Superhero Direct Market Even Possible?
[DM shops struggle without the reliable Wednesday juice of superhero collectability and continuity that has become increasingly kaput... "there are paths forward for comics that seem lucrative and straightforward, based around sales of trade books, manga, Webtoons and other formats, and in converting stores into more experience-oriented destinations with events, game nights, community involvement and more... Given a choice of how to spend scarce resources: on risky products that appeal to an unproven new customer segment, or overserving dependable customers, it's clear where many retailers placed their bets..."]

Preview at Comics Continuum

Collected reviews at Comic Book Round Up

Braindump:

  • The origin of General Strange is told... We see a lot more about the War of the Seven Spheres than we ever have before...
  • 5,000 years of war turned Doc into a traumatized sunk-cost-fallacy psychopath (it'll do that)...
  • The Trinity of Ashes wanted the battle-hardened General imprisoned for peace, and peacetime ain't for him, and the Vishanti made a deal with the Doctor that he would return- so a split was done and everything that made up the General was under-the-rugged...
  • Sounds like the General was freed when the Doctor died... the binding was linked to Doc's life force...
  • General Strange reminds of the War Doctor version of Doctor Who...
  • Is it a retcon here that Doc doesn't remember what happened during the War of the Seven Spheres? He seems to have remembered it in the past, yes? He remembered all the time in the Vishanti's libraries and the syzygy he used to re-power in DSSS #80...
  • Never thought we'd see that fancy shirt again...
  • Any comics with the Trinity of Ashes, Neilalien is probably going to enjoy...
  • Neilalien pronounces Ygmlosvorraich "Igg-meh-loss-vorr-raysh"...
  • Did not expect the War to be "sword and planet"- that sci-fi genre where there's advanced tech but people still fight hand-to-hand with swords- a more creative mind-bending magickal war should have been portrayed?- enjoyed "the thaumonuclear blast that detonated the ley lines and rendered the prayer-fields uninhabitable"- but then we got a lot of grunt troops with polearms on battlefields?- to fight for land?... at least show Mindless Ones as such troops...
  • The real problematic Doctor Strange clone here is this "Wyn" from G.O.D.S. and that waste of a page...
  • It's cliché and irresistible catnip to creators- but what better villain could there be for a hero than the hero's mirror reverse? The doubling/split is a great idea! Bring on Doctor vs. General!
