Doctor Strange #381
Donny Cates (w), Gabriel Hernandez Walta (a)
Marvel Comics

Liz says: We don’t know why, and we only sort of know how, but Loki is now the Sorcerer Supreme. After losing a tournament, Doctor Stephen Strange has hung up his Cloak of Levitation and passed his home, his title, and his responsibilities to the God of Mischief. What Loki will choose to do with his newfound role remains to be seen…

If that premise wasn’t enough to get you interested, consider the creative talents behind it. Writer Donny Cates is quickly making a name for himself as one of the most exciting new voices in comics, for good reason. Paired with the incomparable talents of artist Gabriel Hernandez Walta, this series is practically bursting at the seams with potential. Laden with mystery, razor-sharp characterization and humour, Legacy issue #381 was a brilliant introduction to a highly intriguing setup; I cannot wait to see what happens next!
