Doctor Strange Epic Collection, Vol. 10: Infinity War

Doctor Strange Epic Collection

by Roy Thomas, Don Lawlis (Illustrator), Marvel Various (Writer)

From here to Infinity! As Earth’s heroes reckon with Thanos and his universe-altering Infinity Gauntlet, Doctor Strange takes on vital mystical missions to bolster their forces — but will his greatest threat be Doctor Doom, or the inscrutable Adam Warlock? Stephen is attacked by his old friend the Silver Surfer and his old foe Nightmare — before the full horror of the gathered Lords of Fear is unleashed! Then, the Doctor enlists in the Infinity War…and crosses paths with Galactus! An urgent quest leads Strange and his allies into encounters with the godlike entities Agamotto and Cyttorak — and don’t forget Cyttorak’s champion, the unstoppable Juggernaut! Plus: Wolverine, Spider-Man, the Scarlet Witch, a reunion of the dynamic Defenders — and more!

[Sean Gibson · Rating 3 out of 5]

A sometimes overstuffed and perplexing bounce-around between cosmic crossovers (Infinities Gauntlet and War), this collection still features some stellar (interstellar?) storytelling and choice Dr. Strange moments. The best of the bunch, for me, was The Way to Dusty Death, a team-up with Spider-Man.

The world needs more Strange/Spidey team-ups.

Okay, is this a perfect book? No. Is it everything I love about comics? Yes. This scratches all my comic book nerd itches. Long term storytelling, long ago references, over the top villains, and I just really like the Dr Strange character. Even though half the book is about Infinity War, which I have never read, I still loved it. I had a great time just being in the Marvel Universe for 400 pages. The Fear Lords story was fun, the Wolverine crossover was fun, and getting to know the magic mythos of the Marvel Universe is fun. The art was of its time but serviceable to the stories. Highly recommend for any Marvel nerd.
