Strange looks too young. Personality is Constantine/Tony Stark, playboy, generic, amalgamation of rebellious types. Narrative involves interdimensional beasties. Set in generic city. No connection to 2015 realities/issues/concerns. Quips, self-aware, knowing jokes. Cool is the game, style over substance, nothing to say, not trying to, up it’s own a*** basically, mate.
Rating: 5/10
(Average Marvel comic book. Reminded me of the dull Age of Ultron movie with all it’s quips and cool moments. This is big budget nothingness where style is all, and substance is zero. If you have nothing to say, make sure that you say it very, very well. That’s the game here. The book features a young woman as a story-line catalyst, as you might expect, so Jason gets a special PC/Corporate/SJW Brownie point for that one. The book has nice art, and a clever opening, but it has nothing to say other than look at my cool. It’s a safe and uninteresting book, and I have zero interest in issue #2. Can you see how I’m getting around the fifty-word limit here? Sorry. I can’t help myself.)
