Oh I have got a question.....A few years ago there was a pilot t.v. series called strange that had to do with demons and such, was it to be a t.v. series for Doctor Strange (I'm trying to get more info).

oooh!
Reviews!
I've been waiting for the Doctor Voodoo review.
Glad to see it's coming in time for the trade.
Oh! Here is an answer to the anonymous "samsallspark" guy above me
That "Strange" tv show was a UK show about a former priest who battles demons and other occult things.
Nothing about Dr. Strange except for the similar occult theme.
It lasted one season - 7 episodes.
Here are links...

OMG!!! Sanctum Sanctorum FEVER review !!
I think I remember your early comments on the 'Strange' series when you posted the 'This year's Best and Worst Doc comix'
p.s
Totally different comment :
Which comics did Stephen appeared these days?
I lost track in the middle of Dark Reign.
@ethnos,
Yeah, the "STRANGE" review isn't going to be all that favorable (with a few exceptions).
The reviews are going to take a *little* while longer than I had hoped (weather conditions are making working a bit difficult).
And the FEVER review will probably be among the last of them (since the final issue has yet to ship).
However, for the Doc completist, he has been seen as of late in the following (since Dark Reign):
- New Avengers # 59, 60
(after the whole "Search for the next Sorcerer Supreme" nonsense)
- the Dr. Voodoo mini.
- Invincible Iron Man # 21 - 24
- Mystic Hands of Doctor Strange # 1
(which I reviewed HERE )
- X-Men Forever # 24 (a bit of a flashback tale during the time of the Defenders; Hellcat, Gargoyle, Valkyrie...)
- The Sentry : Fallen Sun # 1 one-shot
- Girl Comics # 2
- Avengers v4 # 1
- Origins of Marvel Comics # 1 (just a 1-page origin rehash)
There may be a couple of others, but they are minor or "non-canon" stories.
The SANCTUM SANCTORUM was featured (with Wong in a speaking role) in Amazing Spider-Man # 627
I hope that helps to bring you up to date.
