Doctor Strange: Surgeon Supreme #1 has given Stephen Strange his manual dexterity back, and with that has seen him return to a dazzling surgeon skill. And all that comes with, for want of a better phrase, manual labour – and a working practice that has moved on since his day.

He totally did. But in today's first issue, the theme of working with one's hands has transferred into his choice of bad guy as well.

It's the surgeon versus the handyman. Say, I wonder if Strange will come out of this with his fingers unbroken? Trust the Wrecker to throw a crowbar into the situation. Here's a look at the second chapter for January 2020… with Strange engaging in even more manual labourer as a smelter/blacksmith it seems. More working stiffs…

The impossible has happened! Doctor Strange's hands have been healed, restoring his surgical skills – but now he's being torn between his obligations as the Sorcerer Supreme and as a neurosurgeon. And when he's forced to choose which vows to uphold, who suffers most for it? After all, magic always has a cost…Be here for a brand new era of magic…and horror from Mark Waid (HISTORY OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE) and Kev Walker (BLACK PANTHER)!

Doctor Strange: Surgeon Supreme #1 is published today from Marvel Comics. I bought mine from Piranha Comics in Kingston-Upon-Thames. Piranha Comics is a small south London comic store chain with a small south-east store in Kingston-Upon Thames's market centre, which runs Magic The Gathering nights on Fridays, and a larger south-west store in Bromley, which also runs Magic nights and has an extensive back issue collection and online store. If you are in the neighbourhood, check them out.
