DescriptionA thrill to add a page from the first issue of this great run; an issue which, right out of the gate, established the tone of how things were going to go in the Bachalo / Aaron era: a little more wisecracking from the Doctor (which didn’t totally land with me), a little more weirdness from the world (which was an absolute delight), and the eagerly anticipated explosion of imagination from the creative team. One great takeaway from the run was the introduction of Zelma Stanton, giving us, as readers, a guide into and through the good Doctor’s world as the Last Days of Magic arrive…Some great panels of both our main characters here - the standout being the last, with the Doctor looming as the large, blackened foreground figure, his maw-like Cloak seemingly shaped as though to pluck Zelma right off the street and out of the light - to turn her world literally upside down - and bring her deeper into the Strange, shadowy realm of suspense and sorcery. So cool! Once again, thank you for everything, Andy! Social/Sharing |

Great page from the first issue capped off by that sweet final panel as you pointed out - Dr. Strange is practically exhibiting Bat behaviour there! :) - congrats on another stellar Bachalo addition buddy!

Great page! Now post that Immonen ASM page, Mysterio!

I really liked that run (though not, like you, the humorish tone so much, nor the axe) and that last panel really does it for me on this fun page that somehow echoes Alice entering Wonderland to me.

Great Strange page! Always been a big fan of Bachalo and this run was a lot of fun.

Yes, the last panel is a doozy. But when it comes to the most effective use of Tim's gorgeous blacks, it doesn't get much better than the ominous mood of that dark and empty doorway in panel 4.

The Doctor holds the fan inside you
I wanna take Townsend that's true
I look to you and I come knocking
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life, you go Bachalo
You'll come for art and you'll go blind
Some kind of lines into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not feared
Fade in issue
Strange you Zelma knew
Fade into you
I think it's Strange you never knew

Bachalo really made the good Doctor his own in the best way.

A really interesting take. The expressions are delightful, with the initial trepidation about entering the Sanctum Sanctorum being so appropriate for a first issue - and an introduction to new readers about the perils of Strange's magic. Likewise the caution and suspicion on Wong's face is just right. Nice pick-up.

How does he eat meatballs when he's upside down like that without making a mess? Magic, I guess.
