This is potentially controversial, and may require a more detailed write up at some point, but pound for pound, I’d argue Daredevil has the most consistently excellent modern solo series of any Marvel hero.

As you might imagine, it has taken nearly all my mystical might, and a consultative visit to the domain of the Dread Dormammu himself, to put together a reading order for Dr. Strange comics! Enjoy the comics, and always remember: The Sorcerer Supreme sits silently inside his Sanctum Sanctorum, studiously (6 times fast). [Read more…] about Where to Start With Doctor Strange Comics
