“Most importantly,” asks the synopsis, “who killed Stephen Strange? If he couldn’t stop them, who can? This rousing journey will dive into the mythos behind Doctor Strange, showcasing his unique — and vital — position amongst Marvel’s heroes and ultimately transform the future.”
MacKay said, “‘What happens to the world if Doctor Strange isn’t in it?’ It’s a question that I’m excited to show people the answer to in ‘Death of Doctor Strange.’ Strange has been a Marvel fixture from the early days, but now, his time has run out and as a Strange fan, it’s been my bittersweet privilege to shepherd him through his last day and the effects that snowball out of it. We’ve cooked up a whale of a story to send Strange off with, and I can’t wait for people to join us on it!”
Garbett added, “Doctor Strange has long been top of my ‘most coveted character’ list. To finally get chance to draw him in such a momentous series is… well, magic. I couldn’t be more excited for the project and for everyone to see what we’ve got in store for Stephen and those closest to him. Jed’s conjured the perfect finale for Doctor Strange — and it’s a real third eye-opener! See you in September!”
Despite being killed off, Strange will also be appearing in Al Ewing and Javier Rodriguez’s “Defenders” miniseries, which begins in August, and his Marvel Cinematic Universe counterpart will return in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on March 25, 2022, as well as Spider-Man: No Way Home on December 17, 2021.
