By Matt Fraction (writer), Terry & Rachel Dodson (artists), Sonia Oback (colorist) The Story: Dr. Strange gets a new nickname. The Review: In my review of The Defenders #1, I complimented Fraction’s use of that issue as a way to introduce the team rather than diving into a dense plot right away. It presented a [...]
