Doctor Strange is currently playing a big part in the current Blood Hunt series. He has been turned into a vampire, ripped apart, his soul now living separately and astrally, while his body is possessed by his evil brother Viktor Strange, released from behind the mirror by Blade. Well, it never rains but it pours, because it looks as if his ongoing comic book may have been cancelled as well.

"The saga kicked off last month as Earth was enveloped in darkness and overrun by hordes of vampires united for the first time in millennia by a new master—Blade! The opening issues saw the Avengers defeated by a band of super vampires known as the Blood Haven, heroes like Doctor Strange and Black Panther turned into blood suckers, and Bloodline, the daughter of Blade, tasked with taking her father down! Things have never been more dire, and the cost to reverse the world's fate will have dramatic ramifications for the foreseeable future of Marvel storytelling."
