Doctor Strange #389

Stephen Strange is dragged into a bizarre magical showdown with Kushala the Spirit of Vengeance, but the whole thing is really a setup engineered by Loki, who currently holds the title of Sorcerer Supreme. Strange is outmatched, outmaneuvered, and increasingly frustrated as the duel becomes more spectacle than sorcery. Behind the chaos, Loki is quietly moving pieces into place for a much larger plan involving the Infinity Stones. Strange realizes he’s being manipulated but can’t yet see the full shape of the trap. The issue blends humor with rising tension, ending with Strange pushed into a corner — and Loki one step closer to a power play that could reshape the magical landscape.
