I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Doctor Strange Vol 1: Across the Universe by Mark Waid (Writer), Jesus Saiz (Artist), and VC's Cory Petit (Letterer)


Doctor Strange's magic has left him and he can't even do a simple spell.  He also has no idea what happened to cause him to lose his magic.  So, he goes and talks to Tony Stark who gives him a spaceship to explore the universe in and hopefully meet other sorcerers to ask for their help.  Tony steers him toward the Shi'Ar but his ship crash lands on a hostile planet and he gets thrown in jail.

Soon he meets Hanna, an alien who is an arcanologist.  She uses magic and science to combat problems.  She is hunting across the universe for objects of magical power and her ship works fine so they escape the prison and head out into the universe together.  Stephen begins to relearn magic through the artifacts.  He also becomes the cocky man he could sometimes be which becomes a problem.

Hanna wants to explore a Krull settlement where she knows someone, but Stephen is against this as the Krulls hate humans.  They also run across a made Time Stone that doesn't completely work.  He makes her forget they found it because he promised it to her for her help in getting it.  Then he hides it away.

Waid has written a comic that is intriguing in that you wonder what happened to Steven to cause him to lose his magic in the first place.  The art is amazing and creative.   This is a great book and I give it five out of five stars.
