BONUS REVIEW by Stephen Banas


In this issue we are supposed to learn the identity of the new Sorcerer Supreme, but instead there was a much bigger reveal in my opinion. I won’t say exactly what it is but it involves another important identity and Marvel completely contradicting their continuity. I really hate that, a lot. I did, however, enjoy the multiple artists collaborating on this one and I also marginally enjoy where the book’s plot is headed so it wasn’t a total loss. If you’re looking for a surprise, go ahead and pick this issue up.

I give it 5 out of 10 Grahams
