Dec 21, 2022Jed MacKay's Strange has been a fun building block toward the next chapter of the character in the Marvel Universe, but Strange #9 proves that this dynamic between Stephen and Clea is one that shouldn't end. Read Full Review

Dec 23, 2022'Strange' reaches the endgame as the dual Sorcerers Supreme begin a final confrontation with the Blasphemy Cartel which leads them to another deceased former ally as well as the secret behind the Cartel. Every issue of this series has been such a magically engaging experience, with great character depth and moments as well as stunning visuals and vivid colors all structured to maximize the effect of this tale. Truly a must-read series. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Dec 23, 2022Again--it really feels like MacKay is leaning in the direction of bringing Stephen back as Sorceror Supreme. Clea doesnt seem nearly as fascinating in this issue as she has in previous issues. It begins to feel like MacKay might even be losing interest in her, which is really too bad as shes been a hell of a lot more interesting than hes been in quite some time. With any luck, MacKay or some other writer can take a closer look at Clea in the months to come before Stephens inevitable return to the center of Bleecker Street. Read Full Review

Dec 21, 2022Strange #9 sets up a great cliffhanger for what should be a must-read finale. The concept of Stephen Strange as the Harvestman is fully realized here and he lets loose his abilities in exciting ways. Throw in some good gory violence and Strange #9 is a raucous good time.

The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge
Dec 28, 2022With Strange wrapping up in the next issue and evolving into something else, it's a reminder of why Marvel frustrates me and why I've fallen off so many of their works for so long. A series that actually dealt with Clea as the Sorcerer Supreme and interactions with others would have been interesting. But it's an epilogue to a past project and a setup for a future one and it brought out Strange almost from the start, albeit as the Harvestman. That's not bad but it just keeps us from engaging with Clea when she should have been the focus. This issue does some nice stuff in relation to how she views Stephen and her life with him, and the new complications, while also providing for some fun but forgettable action sequences. Consequences, once again, feel slight. Read Full Review

Clea and Stephen are such a fun couple. I hope Clea will be around in the new Dr. Strange ongoing or we are fighting.

It's a brisk read, and a very pretty one. Clea's voice is strong as ever, and the writing even establishes some nice thematic links. But the plot is pretty dang dumb: Heroes run gauntlet of baddies, Big Bad gloats at them, unleashes his Ultimate Mook, yadda yadda yadda. It's hardly a deal-breaker, but that simplistic plot is why this is a good comic rather than a great one.

These two characters have always worked well together and the battle scenes are really good. The way they look at one another, you can feel the trust. It reminds me of Aquaman and Mera. I love her in the costume, don't think much of his and the stakes aren't very high if he can't be killed. I'm going to sad to see this one go next issue

This is shaping up to be quite the climactic final showdown.

Enjoyable but I should wait to read it on the Marvel unlimited app. I'm not going to keep the physical issues. Was an ok read but I would not read it again.
