The New Avengers #54

Here we reach the end of the story focusing on Dr. Strange's search for the next Sorcerer Supreme, with the New Avengers along for the ride.

It all ends up in a battle with the Hood, who's been possessed by Strange's most powerful foe, Dormammu.

Luckily, the good guys have several magic-based heroes there to help, including Daimon Hellstrom (the Son of Satan) and Jericho Drumm (Brother Voodoo).

What follows is a knock-down, drag-out fight in the streets of New Orleans - basically a fun action romp, with more than a few surprises.

It's the usual strong script from writer Brian Bendis, and strong art by Billy Tan (with a few panels being a bit difficult to decipher).

It's a good wrap-up and a bit of a reset for the mystical side of the Marvel universe, and it'll be interesting to see where it goes from here.

Grade: B+
