Plot
Stephen Strange continues treating patients in Asgard while trying to collect all the necessary elements to perform the AHKRYNON spell, so he can gain a deeper understanding of magic and Asgard, as Loki recommended.
But the Dark Troll skull they obtained is fake, so now they must hunt one down. To do so, he enlists the help of Aslak and Roskva, who in turn bring Gorm, Solvei, and Ivar. During the search, they face an army of normal Trolls. Suddenly, the Dark Trolls appear and help Doctor Strange stop them.
Strange meets with the leader, Tyrlaug, the queen of the Dark Trolls, who, surprisingly, is extremely attractive and well-spoken. Strange asks her if she happens to have a skull from one of her spares, she will offer it to him
from a pile she has. The Dark Trolls and the Asgardians fraternize quite easily, but out of nowhere, a warrior appears with his face covered and decapitates Tyrlaug. Strange and the Asgardians escape, and Strange keeps Tyrlaug's head.
This is the second time Doctor Strange has been mysteriously attacked by this warrior, who left an axe in his room.
When Doctor Strange arrives at his chambers, he encounters Thor and Lady Sif, who want to know what happened to Hulda.
This exciting installment separates itself from the One World Under Doom event and delves into Doctor Strange's murder investigation, which he must unravel without his magic, with great suspense and mystery.
Art
Charles the Great offers incredibly detailed art with a gloomy texture that can be seen in all the magnificent action sequences. His play with shadows creates a mesmerizing fantasy atmosphere.
Summary
Doctor Strange needs to activate the AHKRYNON spell to become the Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard, but each step forward presents a new mystery.
An excellent series that places Stephen Strange outside his comfort zone and with the humility to learn new things. more
