DOCTOR STRANGE BY JED MACKAY VOL 2

To beat his dark half, will Strange have to become something even worse? Many years ago, Doctor Strange fought in a five-thousand-year battle called the War of the Seven Spheres. But how did that war create the mysterious threat that plagues the Master of the Mystic Arts today? Stephen Strange is a doctor who has sworn to do no harm. But there's another, darker side to him - and it's his duty to win at any cost. Can Stephen best his mirror image, trained through thousands of years of mystic combat? General Strange has millennia of fierce and ruthless experience over the Sorcerer Supreme - but Doctor Strange has friends. Can they protect the Earth and all of magic itself? Collecting DOCTOR STRANGE (2023) #6-10.

Canadian writer Jed MacKay has built an extensive list of credits at Marvel — including such titles as Edge of Spider-Geddon, Infinity Wars: Ghost Panther, Daughters of the Dragon and Man Without Fear. His career caught fire in 2019 with Black Cat, a character-defining phenomenon. MacKay has built on that success with his highly entertaining take on Taskmaster; a high-profile relaunch of Moon Knight; and Death of Doctor Strange, which led Clea to become the new Sorcerer Supreme in Strange.
