In the previous book, Stephen Strange has lost his magic and goes out into the universe to find some more. He runs into a woman, Hanna, in a prison and they help each other escape and go out looking for magical artifacts as she is an arcanologist and that is what she does. After saving the Earth from an invader Stephen feels its time to go home. That he has learned enough magic, and some newfound humility, along the way.
When he arrives he finds someone who looks just like him occupying 177a Bleecker St. House. This person turns out to be Casey, his apprentice who he finds out from a demon who has his memories sacrificed herself to save some people and lost her soul. Then in an attempt to gain it back, she dies saving Stephen. He went mad and lost himself looking for her. Someone came to take over the world and he was needed to take care of that so he put away his memory of Casey in order to concentrate better on the problem at hand.
Now Casey has a body that looks like his and she has his powers and is out and about looking for powerful weapons to take down Stephen Strange. It turns out that Mordo is behind this but who is behind Mordo? Who really took away Stephen's powers? And will they be able to save the Earth again, this time from the Faltine and Dormammu who want to take over the Earth? Dormammu wants to take over the Faltine too. He's going to need help, which comes from a familiar place.
This is a fantastic comic that really explores the world of sorcery and how it really works. Magic has it's price and Stephen is going to learn that the hard way. The art is wonderful and inventive and includes an homage to past Stephens for the 400th issue of Doctor Strange which is a special issue. This is a great book and I give it five out of five stars.
