Doctor Strange #20

Doctor Strange sits in deep meditation at the center of a great circular window, glowing mystical portals hovering at each hand, while a horned, armored figure looms behind him with a blade raised — a striking visual tension between stillness and menace. The moody golden sky and Saiz's crisp linework give the cover a genuinely arresting quality, with Strange's sleek black-and-white costume adding a modern weight to the Sorcerer Supreme's silhouette. Mark Waid, Javier Pina, and Brian Reber bring their talents to issue #20, and with a story titled "The Secret of the Ancient One," there's plenty here to intrigue longtime fans of Marvel's mystical corner.
