Doctor Strange – Blood In The Aether | Comics

As the Empirikul have wiped the world clean of magic and almost killed Doctor Strange in their attempt of doing so, he is now trying to get back at his feet again and restoring balance of magic in the universe.

Meanwhile, his years of pain and sufferings that took a form lately finally dub itself as Mister Misery and decide to pry on the pain of innocents to get back at his "Father". The creature of black magic raided the New York University Medical Center sensing the suffering of patients as he was starving for pain but stopped by a timely intervention of Doctor Strange.

One of his most notorious foes, Baron Mordo decides to show up in town and settle his old score with Stephen this time. So, he left a message for Strange to Chondu the Mystic at the Bar With No Doors and then showed up straight at the Sanctum Sanctorum to face his rival.

Even with no good amount of spells left at his disposal, Doctor Strange takes a stand against his sworn enemy but in the middle of the battle, he's been pulled away to Dimension of Dreams by the villainous entity known as Nightmare.

Weirdly enough, Stephen finds himself leading a lavishing life among booze and girls but still, he finds it very odd for him. Wong and his librarian Zelma Stanton also gets entangled into the horrors as they enter the Dimension of Dreams to save the Doctor.

To explore the dream that breaks Stephen Strange, Nightmare kept taunting his mind but the former eventually found a way to turn the tables upside down on the demon's face by taking all the bad-dreams people were having worldwide at that time for his own and he came out alive conquering them all.

He started to taunt Nightmare at his very realm about not being able to keep him for long but is pulled again from Dimension of Dreams to another location. This time, Strange discovers himself in Hell and found his abductor to be The Devil's Daughter, Satana Hellstrom, who wants to make him go through his own personal hell since now she got her very own all-new, all-different Hell.

So, she wanted to make Doctor Strange a star attraction of her Hell because super heroes are now a trend there too and forced him to eat pork from a pig that was possessed by demons for 400 days! Sooner than he escaped from Satana's Hell, former second-stringer villain; The Orb decides to torment the Doctor a bit as he is now powered by one of the eye of the deceased Watcher that fell on to Earth (Original Sin).

Wong and Zelma got on a magical fighter biplane looking for the good Doctor to provide some aid. When he is finally surrounded by the gang of Baron Mordo, Mister Misery and The Orb, the dreaded Dormammu of the Dark Dimension makes his way on Earth to kill Doctor Strange.

A band of his enemies consisting of Baron Mordo, Dormammu, Mister Misery, Nightmare, Satana Hellstrom and The Orb came after Doctor Strange at a time when he is the weakest and almost left without any magic left in him. This all-too suspenseful tale eventually came to an end with a much desirable conclusion and started trail of a new one as well.

With the worldwide hype of the upcoming live-action Doctor Strange (2016) movie, Marvel Comics also decided to shake the mystical realms of magic with Sorcerer Supreme for the audience a bit on the pages of comic-books and there are a few references to the film as well.

Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine | Comics

About 66 million years ago, a bearded Peter Parker observes the sky with his hand-made telescope as an asteroid was heading towards Earth, which he informs to Logan, who now runs a group called 'Small Folk' in the valley of fire. Both are stranded in past time and living separately since they don't get along very well. As the K-T Extinction Event becomes imminent, Spidey and Logan is transported in time again.

In present time, the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and the feral X-Men member Wolverine tries to stop a bank robbery by the villain Orb and his gang. As Spidey hits one of Orb’s goons, he drops a few glowing diamonds on the ground that mysteriously sent the heroes back in time. There they find out that as they got into this timeline, The Orb is also travelling in time along with them. But the Orb became least of their concern when they are both confronted by a group of robots with whom Wolverine starts tangling around.

After surviving the prehistoric extinction event, the 'Small Folk' has become a dominant tribe of people who ruled the world and are behind these robot attacks.. While fighting and later disarming a bunch of robots, Wolverine detects with his heightened sense that they are probably being watched by someone for some time. He and Spider-Man got busy in the new timeline and the latter is being considered as a Messiah to the gorilla-men who worships him believing that only he can stop the upcoming end of the world.

Spidey suggests Wolvey to give them some hope which they desperately needs at this time but Wolverine refuses to be considered as their savior. Soon, they face Devil Dinosaur and an aged Doom transferring his consciousness to Ego, the Living Planet. As Spidey has been looking for a means of mass destruction to take down this menace for quite some time and he eventually discovers a small fragment of Phoneix force, which he forged into a bullet.

Wolverine shot the bullet to Planet Doom, destroying it and also died in the process. By hot-wiring an old Cosmic Cube, Spidey brings him back only to experience another time-jump by two unknown person, Czar and Big Murder. Spider-Man and Wolverine realizes that the one responsible for doing all these time-travel is Mojo, who brings the duo in the pocket dimension Mojoworld.

Another Fine Mess

The artwork and the story concept of the series were highly praised even though the whole story might seem a little bit complex and oddly placed. The series was also just a trip to another direction that weren't actually going anywhere while featured the special appearance of some other lesser-known Marvel characters as well.
