Doctor Strange, Vol. 2: The Last Days of Magic by Jason Aaron

3.0

This was my second read-through of this story arc, and I enjoyed it better the second time. I'm disappointed that Zelma Stanton is such a one-dimensional character, and her rapid involvement and acceptance of all the magic wildness and battles feels fake, but I'm hoping her character gets more attention after the finale of this two-volume arc centering around the Empirikul killing most of the magic in the known universe.

There are some fun easter eggs throughout, and the other magicians' stories were definitely interesting to me.

Kudos to Jason Aaron for making this rather outdated cliche of a character relevant again, and setting him up for a clean slate going forward.
