Doctor Strange #5

Against a blazing cityscape of deep gold and amber, Doctor Strange soars above the skyline while an enormous, serpentine figure wreathed in brilliant magical flame coils dramatically below him — a striking image rendered with dynamic energy by cover penciler Chris Bachalo and inker Tim Townsend. This 2018 Marvel trade collecting the "Secret Empire" arc unites the talents of Hopeless, Barber, and Henrichon in what MultiversityComics.com calls "everything you might want from a Doctor Strange book." It's a visually arresting package that captures the Sorcerer Supreme at his most embattled and otherworldly.
