Doctor Strange #5 (455)

Doctor Strange and a red-haired warrior woman stand back-to-back in a defiant charge — he conjures a flaming magical artifact while she raises a gleaming sword — as a towering, grinning purple-skinned villain looms over them both against a swirling blue mystical sky, with shadowy figures massing in the background. Alex Horley's painted cover work gives the whole scene a vivid, painterly intensity that suits the high-stakes sorcery on display. With Derek Landy writing and Ivan Fiorelli on art, this 2026 series continues to pit Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme against threats that seem very much larger than life.
