Really, Mark Waid? Her name is... KPZKRFMKNNA? You had a stroke or something or what? Was really hard for you to come up with a decent name for a female character? That stupid name got me off the mood when I read the book. Not cool, Waid, not cool. If you aren’t able to find simple name for characters just call for help, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.

I LIVE for a full story arc of Stephen Strange being condescended to by a lady alien. I also like that the comics seem to keep taking away his magic and rebooting his origin story, which is great because his original origin story is gross. They're coming closer and closer to confronting the colonialism of it all. Also he still has his ghost dog from the last reboot so upgrades all around!

A fun story for sure!
Stephen has sort of been having problems with magic on earth so he decides to go off world and well he meets with Tony first and from there we see him meet (in pace) a woman named Kanna, a techno-arcane and well him getting captured on some mysterious planet, escaping from there, doing some cosmic magic, fighting the Super-skrull to get back the time stone and then rescuing a dwarf from spome alien beings called Majesdane and in the process getting his mojo back and making his own magical weapons meanwhile plots against him are set in place.
A fun read for sure and its fast paced and doesn't waste any time getting the reader to speed and omg I love the character of Kanna and some new themes and concepts explored here and the interctions and challenges, and the space wizardry and the art in particular, just excellent! <3

I really, REALLY, dug this. The cosmic stuff is so fun, but then the reveal at the end was really satisfying because it fulfilled some promises that would otherwise have been 'bad writing'. I can't wait for the next one.
