Next Week's Doctor Strange #10 Offers Another Metaphor for the Comics Industry
In next week's issue of Ms. Marvel, we get one metaphor for the comic book industry. But next week's issue of Doctor Strange offers another one. Comic book publishing is a tricky business, with publishers like Marvel trying to come up with new stories for characters who have been around for decades. It's hard to come up with new ideas while still respecting continuity, and often a shortcut is simply to dig up an old idea from a classic story, rip out its internal organs, and harvest them for a new take.
This metaphor is taken literally in next week's Doctor Strange #10, as The Ancient One is ripped from the astral plane and, well…
That's essentially how DC Comics came up with the idea for Doomsday Clock.
Doctor Strange #10 hits stores next Wednesday.
