Chat i miss them sm jed pls come back to write them 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Mordo is like a pest that never goes away lol. He shows up, tries to kill Stephen, and then leaves. This is extra awkward because Mordo used to date Clea’s mom 😭

I’ve been praising this run since the beginning, but my god, this is absolutely beautiful. Jed Mackay writes them phenomenally. These two can be incredibly violent at times, and Clea is literally the Warlord of Manhattan, but they’re so tender with each other. Stephen’s self-deprecation, his guilt, his frustration with his hands 🥹

“Acting as one.” They do share one soul, after all. How can it get more romantic than that?

Clea is still the Sorcerer Supreme of the Dark Dimension so I expect to see a Sorcerer Supreme fight between her and Victor soon.

This was a very beautiful issue. Despite Stephen losing the Sorcerer Supreme title, it doesn’t feel like a complete loss because he has more than he did than when he was the Sorcerer Supreme at the beginning of this journey in Death of Doctor Strange.

Reading Jed Mackay’s work for Stephen and Clea has been an absolute pleasure and this Doctor Strange run has consistently been written well. It’s the one comic that hasn’t disappointed me. Death of Doctor Strange was actually the first Doctor Strange comic I ever read so it’s bittersweet to see the story finally wrap up. I wish Jed Mackay could’ve stayed, but I hope the next writer handles Stephen and Clea with as much joy and care as Jed Mackay did.

bg3 x Spouses Supreme AU where Clea is Mystra and Gale is Stephen except they're not toxic and were able to built a wonderful bond together.

Unlike Gale, Stephen was raised to be a skeptical medical doctor and avoided any kinds of worship and magic, until he suffered an accident and had the nerves of his hands injured.

He was at his absolute worst when Clea set her eyes on him and decided to give him new meaning through magic.

With time, of course he would fall in love with her. He tried to push this feeling away many times because it's unthinkable for a goddess to love a mere mortal, to the point he considered it a blasphemy. After many failed attempts, he finally embraced the love he held for her, so sure he would be cast away. His confession is a goodbye letter and it sounds almost like an unforgivable crime.

--

"Clea, my most resplendent goddess of magic. Please, lend me your ears as I utter my last prayer. I am too aware of my insignificance in the great scheme of things. I'm your mere servant and apprentice. A mortal gifted and blessed by his goddess. And the magic that fills my soul is but a product of your greatness. Then tell me, o divine being, how can my heart not committ a blasphemy when I lay my mortal eyes on your eternal grace? How can my flawed self not desire your attention and hope for more? Isn't it in the human nature, to be mesmerized by magnificence? That's precisely what makes us human. And yet, such a fool I make of myself. A filthy sinner. And as such, I do not deserve your forgiveness. Cast me out if you must. Curse me even. But I must plead, beg even. Please, do not prevent me of loving you. Even if my destiny lies on the coldest bricks of the Wall of the Faithless, my heart will forever be yours."

She remained silent for seconds that longed an eternity, her eyes holding the universe. And she smiled, for she also loved him.

hello, I hope you’re doing well! I was wondering if you can clarify something for me that I’m just a *tad* confused by.

I know Stephen and Clea separated on good terms a while ago because they had responsibilities to attend to (but obviously they still love each other). but did they ever get officially divorced?

thank you in advance. I hope it’s not a difficult question. I’d just love to make sure I’m not forgetting/misunderstanding anything. :)

Hello! I'm doing good, thanks for asking! How about you?

Answering your question... No, they never got an official divorce. Even in the cursed Fearless Defenders, when Clea requests one, they never touch the subject again.

They give "divorced" vibes in Cates' and Waid's respective runs, but truth be told, they are not your typical married couple since they are from different dimensions and their cerimony was more like a spell that binds their souls.

So, in short, no divorce. Their souls remained bound and they never had a chance to talk about it except for this issue (Doctor Strange v4 Annual #1).

This is so true that, in Jed's run, they treat each other as spouses as soon as they reunite, as if their status as a separated couple was never officialized. Or at least this is how the chronology for this specific issue works haha.

I hope I was able to answer your question. It's confusing but if you read all their interactions after Sorcerer Supreme, this is the best you'll get when it comes to canon.

Thank you for passing by!

The pages in the preview for next months DS issue are so gorgeous, I have so many thoughts, but I can’t get over this little panel of them holding hands, it makes me so soft 🥺

It probably speaks more about me being touch-starved or something, but I just Iove to see them holding hands even for a brief moment 🥺😩😭

Strange rescues Clea in this sequel / prequel comic for Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme.

Loved getting to see Clea here, and this short story strengthens my stance of this adaptation being the best after OG Comic Strange.

Staying more faithful to the source material, Clea is Strange's pupil here, starting out a bit more naive but already showing a good bit of power.

I wish we could have gotten an animated serious or at least a comic for this version of Strange. The film & this comic left me wanting more - the signs of a great story.

This Dr. Strange really does have it all - development, depth, great expansion on his lore.

I feel gypped all the good adaptations of Doctor Strange were short-lived & the most we get is the MCU version which is the worst of the bunch imo. I already ranted on that, so I won't do it again here. Lmao But the saltiness is real with MCU's butchering of Strange. So I never miss a chance to take shots at it.
