The new book will feature main covers featuring the art of Alex Horley, one of the legendary fantasy illustrators to date, coming December 3.
Being the new Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard might be a little tricky for Stephen Strange because of the recent volume of Thor by Al Ewing and Pasqual Ferry with Thor being reborn as a mortal effectively cutting Strange from Midgard. This forces Strange to work with Angela and going on a “Journey Into Mystery” type of adventure. But Strange will not be handicapped on this adventure as he is armed with new abilities and weapons thanks to his effectively working with Asgardian magic. Strange will discover the wonder these otherworldly realms truly have to offer—along with the ancient threats submerged in their mythologies. Get a glimpse at some of the new faces Doctor Strange will encounter on his quest, from the royal family of Heven to a dark elvish sorcerer, in never-before-seen design sheets.
Readers will also need to pick up Doctor Strange # 450, a one-shot that features a prelude story by Landy and Fiorelli, introducing his mission and teasing his new mystical arsenal. It’ll also debut his new look, designed by artist Geoff Shaw.
STEPHEN STRANGE, STRANDED!
After becoming Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard, Strange lost his chance at redemption—and revenge against Doom—when Loki murdered Thor, cutting Midgard off from the other nine realms. With no way home and few allies remaining in Asgard, Strange travels to Alfheim to investigate an emerging crisis. But in an unfamiliar land, can Strange prevent elves and angels from going to war over a mysterious coffin? Maybe, with some help from Heven’s own Angela!

“You might think that Stephen Strange is on firmer ground now that he’s become Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard, but he’s about to be shoved face first into dangerous new territory, and his only guide is the baddest Angel of them all — Angela!” Landy shared. “I’m beyond thrilled to be working with Ivan and Dono [Sánchez-Almara] on continuing Strange’s adventures away from Midgard, and the fact that we also get to delve a little deeper into Angelic society on Heven, and how it interacts with the rest of the Ten (now Nine!) Realms, is a huge and unexpected bonus. In a determined effort to stay true to the origins of the character, the story we’re telling is only going to get bigger, crazier, and more mind-bending — and we’re inviting all of you along for the ride.”
“Jumping into Doctor Strange’s world has been pure artistic joy,” Fiorelli said. “It’s so different from anything I’ve worked on before, and it lets me go wild with the weird, magical elements that make his stories so unique. On top of that, getting to design new characters from scratch is an incredible honor, knowing they’ll join the Marvel Universe forever. Paired with Derek’s thrilling story and Dono’s jaw-dropping colors, this is an adventure fans won’t want to miss!”
