It goes without saying that Marvel loves to celebrate comic book milestones of its characters and titles. Case in point, today the publisher announced details for a a special giant-sized issue for Doctor Strange #450. Available this September, this issue will feature stories by all-star creators including current Doctor Strange scribe Derek Landy who will be joined by two of the character’s most influential writers, Roger Stern and J. Michael Straczynski, along with a host of superstar artistic talent including Ron Lim and Ivan Fiorelli. Doctor Strange #450 will also see acclaimed creator Christian Ward make his Marvel writing debut on a story that he’ll also draw.
Here’s how Marvel describes the issue:
Stephen’s quest to become the Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard is currently unfolding, a key development in the ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM event. In DOCTOR STRANGE #450, Landy will continue to explore this fantastical new direction for Strange and reveals a glimpse at what comes next!
As turmoil seizes Asgard, Doctor Strange’s life is about to change forever. But as he stands on the threshold of a true journey into mystery, it turns out the past isn’t quite done with him yet…
Landy shared the following:
“For 62 years, Stephen Strange had guided readers through the magical realms of Marvel, steering us from one mind-bending horror to the next. As a writer, to be given the chance to turn the tables, to be a part of this milestone issue and, within it, to steer the good doctor towards the dark adventures that await him, is a thrill beyond measure.”
