Doctor Strange is a SKRULL?!
Huh? Wha? Well William S and I have been screaming this for a while now. This preview for New Avengers #44, that comes out next week, made me think one of two bits. One is that Doctor Strange is a Skrull, which answers SOOO many questions. ie. ZOM! Secondly, How many pages of talking can Bendis! put in an issue of the Avengers? I almost fell asleep by the time I got to the sixth page. Oh and I hope that this issue does show Marvel villains as Skrulls else they got a great cover that has NOTHING to do with the actual comic book itself!
You can check out the preview of New Avengers #44 here on CBR:

So you’re really thinking that Strange is a Skrull? Could be. I’m just not sure how much it would matter if he was other than the fact that the Illuminati is nowhere near as exclusive as it was first made to seem…
I have been thinking that Doc Strange was a Skrull since the World War Hulk ZOM issue, hell even William S pointed out the Civil War point — Doc Strange walks away from the most important moment in the Marvel U to “meditate” on the situation and THEN he decides that he made a mistake. I ain’t buying that crap.
I agree that the Illuminati ain’t as OOOOOOOOOHHH as they once were, I would prefer if the new Illuminati were Franklin Richards, Power Pack and Wolfpack!
It’s weird I’m still interested in what’s going to happen next in SI even though I find myself cursing over the execution of it every time I sit down to read my comics. Yet FC could be canceled tomorrow and I wouldn’t blink an eye.
I have always been more a DC fan then Marvel, but recently with the two big events I find myself thinking I wish DC would have it’s act together like Marvel… then I shudder and die a little inside.
Doc Strange isn’t just a Skrull he’s a non-entity.
Sound effect: Phone rings
DS: “Hello, Doc Strange, master of magic, most powerful human in existence how can I help you?”
IM: “Stephen it’s Tony. The shits hit the fan and the planets being invaded by Skrulls do something magical.”
DS: “OOhhh, sorry, no can do. I was just about to step out for a bromaide to help settle the Zom I drank, yeeeeaaaa, next time.”
IM: “What?”
DS: “Okay then, love and kisses to everyone. I’ll see you maybe not for the next crisis. Wait are we allowed to say crisis?”
IM: What?”
DS hangs up the phone.
I hope DS is out in the dead lands and comes back with Captain Steve’s ghost in tow so we can get back to a less violence filled comic book universe.
PS,
I’m just going to throw this out there, but what would it be like if Dan Slott wrote Doc Strange into Avengers:Initiative?
