Our final installment of the Halloween Countdown/Friday Night Fights mashup features a full contact throwdown between Dr. Strange ("The Master of the Mystic Arts") and Morbius ("The Living Vampire"). For the sake of fairness, there will be a strict "No Spells" rule in place.
Are you okay with that, Doctor?
Because there are some problems best solved not though the use of reality-warping magic, but rather through the judicious application of a two-by-four to a deserving fool's noggin...
I'm quite fond of the Thomas/Thomas/Guice run on the good Doctor's late 1980's series, which did an excellent job of humanizing the character while maintaining his aura of mysterious power. Even the title's requisite tie-ins to the "Acts of Vengeance" line-wide event (which pitted Strange against Hobgoblin and the Enchantress) were better than they had any obligation to be. Apart from last year's exceptional Doctor Strange: The Oath miniseries, the run marked the last time I felt a creative team actually "got" the essence of the character.
