Dr. Strange: Surgeon Supreme #5: Catastrophic Consequences

Then reviewing a book, I tend to read the issue three times. First, one to just read, Second to think about what I want to say, and the third for notes (pre-draft so to speak). The reason I bring this up, the first time I read it, I didn’t care for it. A lot happened but at the same time I felt like nothing happen. The villain in the story seemed a little lackluster for the hype coming in. I should also mention I have no previous knowledge of Madame Masque. With that being said the second time I read it, I was far more tuned in the overall tone of the book. I enjoyed it far more than my first run.

Mr. Smile and Mr. Sulk are terrifying characters. Everything about them looks frightening and should be made into a horror movie. The art is still on point it does bring the story together. The artwork of Kryll City is beautiful.

I think the “team” Strange has is fun, I like Kermit and enjoy the relationship between Strange and Druid. I am sure Druid will turn on Strange but until then I appreciate their work relationship.

I do enjoy the series. I will say if I just read the book once I am not sure I would have enjoyed it the way that I did. I am not positive if I was reading it as a fan I would have continued to read the series after this issue. Was the issue bad? Not at all. I am just not sure I “care” enough about the characters to enjoy the story as much as I should.  Please let me know how you like this series in the comments below.
