Recently I read the first issue of three comics, all centered on my favorite theme: magic. If there’s a comic about sorcery, witches, or mystical worlds, count me in—double the excitement!
Here are my quick thoughts on each one.
🧙♂️ Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange is my favorite sorcerer, and this first issue delivered a good story. What I found most interesting is that he’s stuck in Asgard and desperately trying to find his way back home. He’s dealing with his own Odyssey, and I’m more than pleased—not only to follow the adventure but also to discover what led him to this point from previous series.
✨ Wiccan Witches Road
Wiccan is becoming a gay icon, and this issue shows exactly why. He and his husband are back on Earth, and at the heart of the story is a healthy, caring, loving relationship between two men who would do anything—no matter the odds—to protect each other. That’s what keeps you invested. On top of that, Wiccan is back on Earth where he belongs, and we might see more development of his powers. I’m excited for what comes next.
🌟 Sorcerer Supreme
The Scarlet Witch has a new role as Sorcerer Supreme, defending Earth from all things magical. The big question is: can she truly fill that role? She is not an agent of balance—her powers rely on chaos. I do love the Scarlet Witch (she’s one of my all-time favorite Avengers and witches), and I question whether she’s suitable for this position too. But that tension is exactly why I’ll stick around to see how it develops.
Final Thoughts
I hope someday we get a story focused on the Shaman, but for now, I’ll continue to enjoy the magical Marvel stories from its current mystics.
What about you? Do you have a favorite magical Marvel character? Are you reading any of these series? Let me know in the comments!
