Doctor Strange. Black Cat. Taskmaster. Hunter’s Moon. Together, they are … a bunch of characters Jed MacKay has written in the past five years!
No shade, though. Marvel writers teaming up their pet characters is a time-honored tradition. It’s how Misty Knight ended up being Jean Grey’s roommate in the 1970s. It’s why Norrin Radd fought Knull the symbiote god in Silver Surfer: Black. And it’s how Storm knew to go to the Blue Marvel for help accessing the Waiting Room in Resurrection of Magneto.
Plus, when you have to assemble a party to fix a New York transformed by a legally-distinct-from-D&D-type tabletop game, who better to have by your side than a wizard, a thief and … whatever types Taskmaskter and Hunter’s Moon are. Look, I haven’t dungeoned many dragons in my life. We’re all out here doing our best.
Check out our exclusive preview of Doctor Strange #13, out next week, and keep scrolling for the basic deets.
