Feb 07, 2024Doctor Strange #12 is an unexpected story that offers a unique twist on the series through a unique perspective, a ghost dog, while simultaneously being one of the most eerie issues so far. Sure, there's been various threats for Strange to face, but when he and Clea are calm, and Bats isn't, that's not right. Moreover, this issue is another riveting read that foreshadows future threats that lurk around the corners. Read Full Review

Feb 07, 2024Doctor Strangecontinues a solid run with another successful issue as the team shifts the focus from the large-scale action of the previous arc while still exploring the main character. MacKay still strongly focuses on characters and their relationships, as Beyruths guest work aligns with the previous artwork.Doctor Strange #12is the first part of a smaller-scale story filled with excellent writing and great art.

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Feb 07, 2024Doctor Strange #12 is the second cooldown issue in a row and a Bats-centric story to portend things to come. Readers who are Bats fans will get plenty of time with the ghostly pup, but the story barely qualifies as a prelude to announcing the return of a villain. If you read the spoilers in this issue, you'll get everything you'll need to know about what's coming and can save what you would have wasted on the cover price. Read Full Review
