Dr. Strange #2

The subtitle Surgeon Supreme gets a memorably unsettling showcase on Max Fiumara's cover for this 2020 issue, where Doctor Strange — surgical mask in place, the Eye of Agamotto gleaming at his chest — leans over an operating table overrun with writhing, tentacled mass while a mysterious winged creature lurks in the shadows above. Mark Waid, Kev Walker, and Java Tartaglia bring the same collision of medical drama and supernatural dread inside, as the series continues to mine the tension between Strange's two callings. It's a genuinely creepy image that captures exactly why this corner of the Marvel universe feels unlike anything else on the stands.
