Marvel Adventures Dr Strange is Awesome
Everything is better in Marvel Adventures. Including Dr Strange. Here are some scans from Superheroes #5, featuring a Strange/Spider-Man teamup.

The story is called "A Very Strange Day" and is written (most excellenty) by Paul Tobin.

The issue opens with Dr Strange making his morning rounds:

His routine is cut short when he notices something is eating holes in reality.

He recruits Spider-Man to help him stop the threat. After introductions, Strange gets cut off from explaining the creature responsible for the damage when he and Spidey are attacked by a couple of ugly critters.

Strange magicks Spider-Man's powers so that his spider-sense will detect the tears in reality and his webs will be able to seal them. The two proceed to track the adult zakimiya through various realities, capturing its spawn and repairing the holes.

Until they finally encounter the adult zakimiya...

Strange's extra magic boost allows Spidey to shoot the Crimson Webs of Cyttorak. He tells Spidey to ensare the young zakimiya as "haughtily and arrogantly" as he can. Meanwhile Strange himself goes after the adult zakmiya.

This guy really needs his own MA book. Who's with me?

	but by thinking about a being who shouldn't be imagined, aren't you imagining him in someway? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	As Granny Weatherwax could tell you, it's perfectly possible not to imagine a pink rhinoceros, provided you don't know what a pink rhinoceros IS. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I guess the Big Two think that Anything Fun = Childish. I feel like the folks over at MA are some sort of rebel sect out to prove them wrong though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I enjoyed Peter's idea of how an enormously powerful cosmic entity would talk. I also really, really want to see Nisilette the Unimaginable. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"If I let myself get too disheartened or depressed, well then--" "Got it. The rabbit doesn't come out of the hat." Does that sound like innuendo to anyone else? I mean, I know where I am, it can't just be me, right? MA is such good fun. I love Spidey picking at the tear in reality, and Strange is just awesome. I'd buy his book if he had one.
