And Then I Read: DOCTOR FATE #11

Image © DC Comics.

With a cover like this and a story titled “Great Caesar’s Ghost,” we know exactly what we’re in for from writer Paul Levitz and artist Sonny Liew, and they deliver it brilliantly. This ghost is more powerful than most, and yet is under the command of an Egyptian general, the one who caused all the trouble for Khalid’s friends in New York. As usual, Khalid has taken his role of Doctor Fate into a situation he doesn’t really know how to handle. Therein lies the charm of this series, how will the hapless youth deal with the new trouble he’s put himself into? Meanwhile, his neglected life back home is getting more and more precarious. Fun story, charming art.
