Following on from the news of the Miles Morales-headlined Spider-Man series, Marvel has announced another of its upcoming ‘All New, All Different’ titles, with Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo set to reinvent the Sorcerer Supreme with the relaunched Doctor Strange.
“None of Marvel’s other heavy hitters walk the same beat as Dr. Strange,” says Jason Aaron. “None of them have to face the same sorts of repercussions whenever they use their powers. Being the Sorcerer Supreme is a unique responsibility. And it’s one that Stephen Strange embraces. Even though there’s no doubt that his job is one day going to leave him dead, damned or insane. So I want to celebrate all the weirdness that is Dr. Strange, while having him face a challenge unlike anything he’s ever faced before. One that rewrites the rulebook for what it means to be the Sorcerer Supreme.”
A dark new power is rising. One that will have repercussions for all magic users. The threat is growing, and Strange knows he won’t be powerful enough to stop it. If he is to have any kind of hope, it will take a different kind of Sorcerer Supreme. Because all magic comes with a price, and it’s high time Stephen Strange balanced the scales.
Thanks to EW, here’s some sketches from Bachalo for the new series…
As well as the new ongoing series, Marvel Studios is set to go into production on its Doctor Strange movie later this year, with Benedict Cumberbatch set to play the lead role of Dr. Stephen Strange. The film is set for release in November of next year, while the new comic book series will get underway this fall.
