Doctor Strange: Damnation

In 2018, Marvel unleashed Doctor Strange: Damnation, a single-issue comic event that pitted the Sorcerer Supreme against the supernatural chaos unleashed when Las Vegas is rebuilt as a hellish trap. Written by Donny Cates and Nick Spencer, with atmospheric, painterly art by Rod Reis, this story served as a linchpin in a larger crossover, forcing Doctor Strange to confront the cost of his magic and the sins of the past. It matters as a compact, high-stakes Marvel supernatural thriller that reshaped Strange’s status quo.
