It was recently revealed that Marvel will be releasing a new series following Doctor Strange as he tries to repair the damage in what is now left of Las Vegas. As fans will recall the city was destroyed in the events of Secret Empire under the orders of Hydra Cap.

The five issue miniseries from writers Donny Cates (Doctor Strange) and Nick Spencer (Secret Empire) with art by Rod Reis (Secret Empire) will see the Sorcerer Supreme try to undo the devastation felt by the city. And while he has good intentions, Strange will ultimately end up summoning Mephisto to the mortal realm, forcing Doctor Strange to assemble a team of mystic heroes.

Hey hey hey! so @nickspencer @RodReis and I are bringing you DAMNATION! A Marvel Magic Event starring: Doctor Strange! Moon Knight! Ghost Rider! Iron Fist! BLADE!! Buckle up, folks. This is going to be a trip. February 2018! https://t.co/XivV6HBGjv — DONNY CATES (@Doncates) November 16, 2017

The story will see Strange team up with heroes who have their own magic and those who have been touched by it in some way. The characters announced thus far include Ghost Rider, Blade, Iron Fist, and Moon Knight. But according to Cates and Spencer in an interview with Comicbook there are many more characters that will make an appearance.

According to Cates the event will take place after his current arc in Doctor Strange, which has seen Loki take over as the Sorcerer Supreme.

Also, when asked how this story will tie into Secret Empire, Spencer stated that:

This story very much begins with one of the biggest lingering wounds of Secret Empire — the destruction of Vegas, and the impact that’s had on both the heroes and the world at large. But like all the stories we’re doing that deal with that event’s fallout — whether it’s Captain America or Tales of Suspense or Deadpool or Falcon, it’s important to us that what we’re doing now stands on its own two feet. So if you read Secret Empire, I think this adds to the tapestry. But if you didn’t, this can certainly be enjoyed as its own thing, no continuity knowledge required.

So for new readers that have been drawn in by Marvel’s Legacy event and may not have read Secret Empire, they should not see this as a problem when reading Doctor Strange: Damnation. Which is great news as no one will want to miss this exciting new adventure that will leave the Marvel universe a little bit stranger.– Jacob Campbell
