Dr. Strange has always been my favorite and I love his original comic origin, but I think the movie handled it a little better. Especially the part where the Ancient One refused to train him, not the other way around. I think it was a better character arc.
Speaking of Doctor Strange, can you do a video on his iconic archenemy Dormamu? I would really love to know who he is and why he tends to show up every time Doctor Strange shows up in any animated TV series now.
Hey Drake, you ever think to look at the latest Marvel action figures for characters to talk about? Cuz sometimes the ranks are filled with less well known characters, and any of the Marvel Legends waves would probably give you a character or two to work with
Well made video. Wow, I like Dr Strange much less now that I know his comic book history. Let's hope his experiences in the MCU are not as dark, twisted & convoluted as all that :(
Hey Drake, have you ever heard of Papa Hagg? Powerful Jamaican superhero in the comics with the same abilities as Dr. Strange, with a twist: Papa Hagg doesn't do sorcery, he does obeah. He was introduced in the comics as a guy that rescued the Defenders at one point. My point is this- who do you think is more powerful, Dr. Strange or Papa Hagg? And which do you think is really supreme?
***** and also, I've noticed that nor many people seem to know about him. I was wondering if you could please, whenever you have the time for it, do a video speaking about this character. Thank you for taking the time to read my request sir. I feel honored.
***** and I'm kinda hoping that we get to see the character on the Defenders and portrayed by a real genuine old Jamaican man. I'm tired of people faking the accent and then I'm just there listening like..."I sound nothing like that."
Hey Drake! New to this channel but have been watching your stuff on Game Theorists. Have you thought about venturing into other publishers like Image or IDW? Also, if you're looking for things for your weird comics series I recommend Sonic Super Special #7.
I still don't understand what the sorcerer supreme does, since I never really read his comics. Does he defend all magic? Or protects earth from any magical threat? Or is the go to go for any magical question?
You forgot the part where he travels into space in search of magic. Or when Loki tricked him into giving up the sorceror Supreme position to him and then Strange convincing The Sentry to storm Asgard.
In my opinion dc does magic better than marvel because marvel always pulls out that it’s science that we don’t understand while dc fleshed it out and expand it
aimz210 it was a clever way as opposed to just punching the big bad or any of the usual boring conclusions. Dr.strange is a unique hero I'm glad he had a unique resolution
xombiekat13 so what's the point of doing a major crossover event secret wars to reboot the universe if you are not going to reboot universe to begin with
Short answer: To sell books! Long answer: They rebooted back to pre-Secret Wars at the end but for 6 months (ish) they got to tell some really different, really weird Battleworld stories that were kinda fun. Really, sometimes comics need to get weird to stay interesting, right? And now some of their alternative universe people are running around alongside the regular Marvel peeps.
xombiekat13 except one small problem and this is a big one at least for me the one thing i wanted to come back the most was the marriage with peter parker and mary jane and there daughter alive and kicking in this new universe not stupid fucking regent and his bullshit fuckkkk but that's just my opinion on this stupid situation we are stuck with now and wasn't secret wars designed to reboot the marvel universe to begin with
I don't read a whole lot of Spiderman but I think that might be happening again in the new Renew Your Vows series. Maybe. I don't know. Continuity is confusing!
Seriously, I dunno if one "thank you" is enough but, thank you so much for all the time and effort that goes into these videos, they are pretty awesome and really helpful for anyone trying to get into comics or to catch up to date
Hey, so when I switched over my channel from an individual to a brand account, it deleted all my comments. :( So if you see threads where it looks like I replied, but you can't see anything. That's why.
I just found out that theres a movie out today and was like "huh I wonder if Comic Drake has uploaded a Dr Strange video yet?". Anyways, great job on the video! :D
Did I learn anything? Are you kidding, dude? I mean, good grief, these comic writers! I seems like the more convoluted and crazy they can make their plots, the happier they are. Yikes! It's a real roller coaster ride with them. Strange gains his powers, then looses them, then regains them, then looses them, gain, looses, gains, looses. AHHHHH! Make up your mind, people! I mean, can anyone actually follow these plot progressions and still know what the hell is going on? Because just listening to your description of these plots is enough to make my brain explode. Excuse me while I go pick up my brain pieces and glue them back together.
I don't think it ever occurred to me that Secret Wars 2015 was a soft reboot. Aside from everyone going back to doing what they do, they kinda pulled a Crisis on Infinite Earths by bringing in everyone they like from other universes before making one home universe.
Is there a reason you skipped Vol 3 as a suggested read for Dr. Strange? I only ask cause I haven't read anything for him and was wondering if you thought that line was bad or something.
You killed it again Drake, best part is you made Strange very....... Human.,, and not as invincible as Fan boys are going to make him seem after the movie.
Comic drake is by far my favorite comic channel. I just watch pretty much the same video from Variant comics, and this imo is so much better, just by layout
I've been reading the original Doctor Strange comics from the 60s and it's still really weird to me how he'll call upon the power of Dormammu alongside the Vishanti.

Strange's Hands: *exist*
Literally Anyone: *_I'm about to end this man's whole career_*
@Firaj Nani dude spoilers!
Meanwhile, in another universe, strange gets his heart broken
If someone doesn't say "ABRA CADABRA YOU SON OF A BITCH" in the Doctor Strange movie, I will be disappointed.
Magatsu Orpheus dang it, now I really want that to happen
sry to disappoint you
Omega history
Dr. Strange has always been my favorite and I love his original comic origin, but I think the movie handled it a little better. Especially the part where the Ancient One refused to train him, not the other way around. I think it was a better character arc.
my first exposure to dr. Strange was the dr. Strange animated movie.
Same, I remember getting that as a kid
Speaking of Doctor Strange, can you do a video on his iconic archenemy Dormamu? I would really love to know who he is and why he tends to show up every time Doctor Strange shows up in any animated TV series now.
By the crimson bands of Cyttorak! This was a great video. The Vishanti will be well pleased.
i thought he was kidding when he said they were called the illuminati
i was indeed wrong
best crossover ever.. Dr. Strange and John Constantine
thank you for these well edited videos.
7:55 “ABRACADABRA, YOU SON OF A BITCH!” - Dr Steven Strange. 😂
Really love watching these videos after watching the movies, to see what was changed/kept the same. Great job!
I really like that though Dormmamu is more powerful than Dr. Strange, Strange has beaten him every time.
My first exposure to Doctor Strange was the Ultimate Spiderman Animated series
Thank you for making this video Drake.I hope you have one for Starfire too.
7:56 Abracadabra you son of a bitch
Lmao I'm done
no the cape! the movie made me fall in tove with that adorable cape
Best outro on the Internet, ever!
Still waiting for a possible video on Aquaman 😢
Great video learned a lot

5 stars AND a video response....that's an old memory...
the eye THE EYE I love its power
defenders r basically a minute man avengers
Keep up the good work bro love the videos

Hey Drake! New to this channel but have been watching your stuff on Game Theorists. Have you thought about venturing into other publishers like Image or IDW? Also, if you're looking for things for your weird comics series I recommend Sonic Super Special #7.
thanks for a great video!
Dude, you should do a video entirely on Battleworld
I still don't understand what the sorcerer supreme does, since I never really read his comics. Does he defend all magic? Or protects earth from any magical threat? Or is the go to go for any magical question?
Wikickid all of the above
So what was his role exactly in Infinity Wars?
epic vid man
Is there any specific reason dr. Strange looks similar to Vincent Price
You forgot the part where he travels into space in search of magic. Or when Loki tricked him into giving up the sorceror Supreme position to him and then Strange convincing The Sentry to storm Asgard.
And you forgot to look at the video's release date.
@@ComicDrake Release dates mean NOTHING to me. Do you hear me, God? NOTHIIIIIIIIIING!!
It's literally impossible for me to talk about books that were not released at the time of recording.
So.. Doctor Strange is now just another regular dude who uses tools to fight?
Abracadabra!!
You son of a-
Oh wait I can't say that word
cuz DORMAMU I'VE COME TO BARGIN
Dormammu*
So illuminati confirmed?
is the green from your riddle cosplay
Dr Druid vs De Strange who'd win
In my opinion dc does magic better than marvel because marvel always pulls out that it’s science that we don’t understand while dc fleshed it out and expand it
Am I the only one who thought the resolution with dormamu in the movie was as bad as 'martha'
aimz210 it was a clever way as opposed to just punching the big bad or any of the usual boring conclusions. Dr.strange is a unique hero I'm glad he had a unique resolution
where can you get the court of owls mask
Yo it’s jobin where speed king
7:02
This is really interesting compared to the movie.
Me trying to get avengers endgame tickets
I've come to bargain
can magneto lift thors hammar?
I leraned alot
As oppose to a normal child beauty pageant?
Still can't help but confuse Doctor Strange with DC's Hugo Strange occasionally :P
I keep them separate by calling Hugo "Professor Strange."
Jiphrrr i do that accasionally
and dont forget adam strange from young Justice hahaha
I'm really not a fan of how everything goes to shit in all these universes
So basically Marvel secret wars reboot was completely pointless
Yep. Just like every other Summer Crossover event ever. Welcome to mainstream comics.
xombiekat13 so what's the point of doing a major crossover event secret wars to reboot the universe if you are not going to reboot universe to begin with

whos mask is that white one
the illuminati got me lmao
I'm unhappy with your pronunciation.
5-Star! (video response)
Seriously, I dunno if one "thank you" is enough but, thank you so much for all the time and effort that goes into these videos, they are pretty awesome and really helpful for anyone trying to get into comics or to catch up to date
felix josue velazquez He has a patreon as well if you want to support him.
Elias Westeren omg it's true XD I'll check it out, thanks for reminding me, I've never used it before (patreon) but this content is worth the try
Hey, so when I switched over my channel from an individual to a brand account, it deleted all my comments. :( So if you see threads where it looks like I replied, but you can't see anything. That's why.
Huh really strange video Drake
Boooooooooooooooooooooo
Dormammu, I've come to bargain!
At least you spelled bargain correct
Dormammu, I've come to bargain!
Great vid, Dr S has been my fav Marvel character since ‘64 and I still read this book (and I’m 71 now)
These are awesome! Could you do one on Jean Grey and/or Iceman? Want to get into more X-Men
*"ABRAKADABRA YOU SON OF A B****!"*
Man, comics get way too convoluted.
I just found out that theres a movie out today and was like "huh I wonder if Comic Drake has uploaded a Dr Strange video yet?". Anyways, great job on the video! :D

I like Drake more than Variant's comic channel
same
I hate magic being broken. I loved Doctor Strange using cosmic level powers, but now they have him shooting guns and wielding axes.
Hey! Thanks for all you do!
Classic Dr Strange was more powerful than any cosmic being you can think of. Right now, they dumb down his powers because he had too much.
Did Jeremy from Rooster Teeth inspired you to color your hair?
I've a better question then
did [insert random famous person here] inspire your hair color?
Actually, there was a Doctor Strange TV movie in the late 70's/early 80s. Cheesy as can be, so technically there are 2 Dr. Strange movies....
Your video was very good, but you didn't mention Doctor Strange' family.
what are this comics illustrations from??????????????????????????
Yea, pre retcon beyonder, molecule man and strange are pretty op ain't they
I don't think it ever occurred to me that Secret Wars 2015 was a soft reboot.
Aside from everyone going back to doing what they do, they kinda pulled a Crisis on Infinite Earths by bringing in everyone they like from other universes before making one home universe.
What music is in the background around the 4:00 mark? I swear I recognize it.....
Can you make an updated version with strange academy and the death of doctor strange
Anybody excited for Doctor Strange #384? Loki's gonna get his ass whooped.
i was really suprised at the real reason hulk was kicked off of earth because of the registration act
Who is doctor strange
He is just a strange doctor
Thanks for the rundown on Strange, Drake!
“Abracadabra you son of a bitch!” Is such a money line
Thanks for making this video now I can go watch the movie with a little back story.
Color me interested
So everyone knows it is: CLEE-UH
Pretty sure Dr. Strange can beat Dr. Fate.
How to get one better why is Doctor Strange
Damn that's some in-depth research. Nice one 👌
Is there a reason you skipped Vol 3 as a suggested read for Dr. Strange? I only ask cause I haven't read anything for him and was wondering if you thought that line was bad or something.
Because I only did three recommendations per video back then and those are my top three choices for recommended reading.
what about sentry
You killed it again Drake, best part is you made Strange very....... Human.,, and not as invincible as Fan boys are going to make him seem after the movie.
Comic drake is by far my favorite comic channel. I just watch pretty much the same video from Variant comics, and this imo is so much better, just by layout
can you do a video on the gods and demons strange calls on for his spells.
I've been reading the original Doctor Strange comics from the 60s and it's still really weird to me how he'll call upon the power of Dormammu alongside the Vishanti.
Now magic is normal again and Loki is Sorcerer Supreme
Hey drake big fan of your channel can do a history of episode on the X-men or the Teen Titans i really appreciate it
Wait is the Battle wars the same thing as the Secret wars?
he's fantastic, but sentry is more powerful
did anyone else notice dr strange wearing a very Constantine trench coat when he got weaker
