Welcome back to Waiting on the Trade, a monthly comics book club for people who don’t have time for monthly comics!
In this episode, guest host Tyler Marifke practices some everyday magic, as we discuss Jason Aaron, Chris Bachalo, and co.’s Doctor Strange: The Way of the Weird.
This episode’s explanations, observations, and links of note include:
- Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Doctor Strange is the best Doctor Strange. #Boxes4Life.
- To learn more about those Ghost Rider books Tyler mentioned, be sure to listen to our Ghost Rider: The Last Stand episode.
- If you haven’t, it’s worth checking out Jack Kirby’s Marvel photo collage pages, most of which featured in Fantastic Four. Chris Bachalo definitely pulled some Kirby collage energy for Doctor Strange.
- Jason Aaron talks a bit about laying down rules for Doctor Strange’s magic in this interview he did at the start of his run.
- Contrary to what 2/3rds of this episode’s hosts might tell you, this podcast does not advocate killing unicorns.
