![]() Eventually The Boy confronted The Wolf in his tower, after an intense battle he impaled the enigmatic Wolf on his sword and threw him to what he thought was his death. It was here that he found a small band of troops still loyal to the King and, with the help of Lord Woolsack and Sir Longarm, began to take back the country county by county. ![]() After the capture of the King abroad, enemy invasion, civil war and his father's ambush en route to negotiate a treaty with The Snake, The Boy was pushed back to a forest on an overlooked peninsula. The Death of Doctor Strange #3 is available now wherever comics are sold.The original Stronghold told the story of The Boy and his quest for revenge against Duc de Puce (The Rat), Duc Beauregard (The Snake), Duc de Truffe (The Pig) and Duc Volpe (The Wolf) for the ambush and murder of his father. With two issues left, and the promise of a new Sorcerer Supreme, this story looks to be closing out in style. The Death of Doctor Strange #3 has moments both heartwarming and horrifying, as the Earth faces Armageddon without the Sorcerer Supreme. And Petit’s lettering also changes color, from blue to pink to green depending on the characters and the spells they speak. ![]() Kalumesh, on the other hand, is a glowing green crystalline paradise that is literally shattered by the Three Mothers. Fabela’s colors also highlight the duality of the scenes as well as the differences Mordo’s castle is shrouded in shadow until Past Strange blows the doors open. While Past Strange’s fury is justified, it’s no less terrifying than the Mothers laying waste to all they see. Garbett places both sieges side by side, which has a disconcerting effect as both hero and villain mow down multiple enemies to pursue their goals. On the art side of things, Garbett and Fabela pour all of their effort into the issue’s third “chapter,” titled “Invasive Surgery.” It features a dual sequence with Past Strange, Clea, and Wong breaking into the castle of Baron Mordo while the Three Mothers attack the realm of Kalumesh. And while Past Strange doesn’t have that deep connection, he still attempts to comfort her and deal with his future self’s flaws. Clea had a whole life with the older Strange there was love, heartbreak, all of it. The second features a talk between Clea and Past Strange, and it’s the most heartbreaking moment of the issue. ![]() The first comes at the beginning of the issue when Past Strange performs an autopsy on his own body with Jane Foster he freely admits that if it weren’t for his magical training he would have gone mad during the procedure. MacKay uses the downtime to explore how the younger Strange is feeling, which leads to a pair of heartwrenching moments. To make matters worse, Iron Man confirms that the heroes of the Marvel Universe are facing a number of magical threats, which I’m sure will be explored in upcoming one-shots. Learning that there’s a threat greater than the Three Mothers is utterly horrifying, and to learn that the one person who could beat it is dead? Not only is this the worst day ever for Doctor Strange -but it’s also the worst day for the Earth in general. ![]() And the Earth is its next target, as multiple magical beings have made it their stronghold- grim news that only grows grimmer when the young Doctor Strange reveals that the circumstances of his murder have left the position of Sorcerer Supreme unattended.Īlthough this issue is fairly light on action, it only piles on the bad news for Strange and his allies. Following the battle with the Three Mothers, Clea Strange reveals the true intent of the Mothers’ incursion to the Avengers: they seek to feed their progeny, the Peregine Child- a being whose hunger for magical energies knows no bounds. The Death of Doctor Strange #3 is written by Jed MacKay, illustrated by Lee Garbett, colored by Antonio Fabela, and lettered by VC’s Cory Petit. ![]()
