With Doctor Strange hitting theaters, you’re probably wondering what comic books you ought to read in order to get to know the character better. Lucky for you, there’s one Doctor Strange comic that is a cut above the rest, a definitive tale that perfectly captures what makes the character great.
Don’t get us wrong, there are many Doctor Strange comic books worth reading, from the original tales by creator Steve Ditko to the current ongoing series by Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo. However, if you can only find time to squeeze in one graphic novel into your busy schedule, then make it Doctor Strange: The Oath by writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Marcos Martin.
Originally published in 2007 as a five-issue mini-series and now collected as a standalone graphic novel, "The Oath" was written to inject new life into the character and ground him a bit more in reality. While the tale does take place in the Marvel Universe, you don't need to know anything before reading it. Just crack it open and enjoy.
Warning: We’ll do our best to avoid spoiling the big twists “The Oath” has to offer (there are quite a few!) and share only what you need to know, but if you want to go in completely fresh, best get out now.
