Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #21

In "Mindless in Manhattan [The Dark Wars, Part 1 of 4]," Doctor Strange races to uncover the source of a sudden invasion of Mindless Ones in New York, leading him to suspect a breach in the Dark Dimension. When he arrives at Clea’s palace, he finds it stripped of its power—its Flames of Regency gone and Dormammu now in control.

In this richly detailed installment from *Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme* #21, Jo learns the ancient truths behind the multiverse as the story unfolds the legendary rise of the Dark Dimension—its earliest rulers and the cosmic forces that shaped it, all leading up to the arrival of Dormammu and Umar. Written with a mythic tone and illustrated with vivid, otherworldly flair, this tale weaves together lore and legend in a way that deepens the mystical foundation of the Marvel Universe.
