The Death of Doctor Strange: Spider-Man #1 Review

This is literally the best tie-in I’ve ever read in my entire life as a Marvel worm. A thousand years of Jed writing Stephen please!!!

Remember when many people came to me and asked me my thoughts on the idea of Stephen dying? And I said time and time again that DODS would be a love letter to the character and a way for people to acknowledge Stephen’s importance? TODAY IS THE DAY, MY FRIENDS!

First, we are introduced to some bickering between Ben and Felicia. It’s expected since Ben is taking the title of Spider-Man instead of sticking to the Scarlet Spider mantle. We’ll get to that soon. They are, however, interrupted by Stephen’s astral form, who trusts Spider-Man with a to-do list.

This is important because, first of all, Stephen was well-prepared for his own demise. As the Sorcerer Supreme, he had tons of responsabilities no one was aware of. Second, he trusts Peter with said responsabiliities. Yes, that’s right. Peter Parker. Stephen knows thousands of heroes, he assisted even more. But the one he trusts the most? Peter. After everything they’ve been through in AMS, Stephen still trusts him. This is too much for my heart.

So Felicia and Ben head to the Sanctum and they find Wong. This whole sequence is so hilarious, I adore Felicia so much.

Felicia: “HE’S RIGHT THERE! I CAN SEE HIM BEHIND YOU!”

Wong: .... *sigh*

Wong is tired, poor thing. Also the fact that he can sense Ben is not Peter is great.

Next, Wong explains that Stephen kept a daily schedule in order to protect the city from mystic threats. First mission is about Gator Shaman.

It’s sweet how Stephen actually doesn’t mind the gators but in fact he’s worried about their safety. They’re rare animals and could be in trouble. I LOVE HIM

Next, they need to stop the Hungry Prince of Hearts. AND GUESS WHO SHOWS UP? THAT’S RIGHT, MY LITTLE MEOW MEOW.

Moon Knight took care of the trouble by himself. BUT IT GETS BETTER.

HE CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARES. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS TO ME. YOU JUST DON’T. ‘Cause, first of all, Marc and Stephen are not that close, as I once wrote. BUT Mr. Knight was part of the team to rescue Stephen from Mephisto, basically Wong’s version of the Midnight Sons. So they’re not totally strangers, not to mention their few team-ups. Second important thing is, that atrocity called Age of Khonshu, an arc that basically ruined Marc’s character development, in which Marc stole the power of the Sorcerer Supreme from Stephen. So when he says he owns an apology, he’s referring to this particular moment.

I hate Age of Konshu with a burning passion but I’m just SO glad Marc acknowledges that he was wrong and Stephen deserves an apology. Most of the Avengers don’t even care about the fact that Stephen is dead but Marc is just... He’s just sorry. And it was addressed. It was finally addressed. Gods, I can’t wait for Marc and Stephen team up again. I just know it’s going to happen at this point. Jed, I owe you my life.

Okay, moving on...

Felicia and Ben continue their chores while we see a side story with a woman doing her job (I suppose she’s a janitor?). Then the heroes rest for a while on the top of a building and deliver what I’ve been waiting for literally years to happen. All those articles and posts talking about how Stephen takes care of people from the shadows, that no one knows his true valor as a hero because he doesn’t seek glory. It’s all coming to light!

I guess these two panels only come in second to my favorite moment in 2021 (the first being Clea and Stephen kissing). Funny how they were both written by Jed haha. This is what happens when a writer who cares is responsible for your favorite character. And I’m deeply grateful for that.

BUT IT’S NOT OVER YET. The last item on the list is not related to magic or monsters. It’s just... the woman we see earlier, her name is Jimena. She works at night and Stephen brings her a pretzel while they wait for her bus.

"He’s a lovely man, isn’t he?”

YES *sobs* YES, HE IS. Thank you, Jimena. You’re my best friend from now on.

Felicia always representing me because I was also crying at the end of this story.

And here Ben explains why he needs to be Spider-Man. Because the world needs Spider-Man. There are many other “spiders” but there must always be the og in order to make people feel safe. And Felicia agrees, for a change.

Now, whoever comes to me saying stupid things about Stephen, they just don’t know the character. Stephen has many flaws, he’s a difficult man, but he’s also kind, selfless, LOVELY. He’s not arrogant toward people because he’s a healer and he learned humility. He’s not entirely free of this trait but he’d never mistreat his patients (coughcoughwaid). So please stop with the arrogance discourse. This is my Stephen. Yup, this one.

This issue is the best tie-in I’ve ever read in my life. It’s a lesson how to be relevant without changing the main plot. It’s yet another love letter, and I thought that DODS was enough.

As I said previously... A THOUSAND YEARS OF JED WRITING STEPHEN. I’m just so grateful for this issue. I’ll never forget it.
