The Official Handbook Of The Marvel Universe #03 (1983)

What are the best Shuma-Gorath stories, in your opinion? Be it single issues or whole arcs?

What is Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme, exactly? Is it a What If about Billy Kaplan becoming Sorcerer Supreme? It looks like him and Wanda get involved, I think, based on what I saw when I was doing a quick search through your blog, and my partner is a huge fan of those two characters (along with Loki and Agatha Harkness) (he is very passionate when he talks about his immense dislike of DS2 for how it treated Wanda), so I wonder if he would like the series, even if he's neutral on Strange himself.

Do you know of other blogs similar to yours? Like, Marvel comics focused blogs with in-depth knowledge that don't really talk about the MCU, be it focused on the comics in general or on specific characters/teams?

Sorry for the barrage of questions, just... curious and tumblr's search function sucks

*deep inhale*

Okay, beware the long post!

1) Best Shuma-Gorath stories hummm... Well, assuming I only know the stories that feature Stephen, of course, I'd say the whole arc of the Ancient One's death is pretty neat and paves the way to Stephen becoming the Sorcerer Supreme (Marvel Premiere #2-10).

I know Duggan is controversial as a writer, but I also really enjoyed Savage Avengers (the whole volume, basically). Conan isn't an appealing character to me, personally speaking, but when you make a team with Doctors Doom and Strange plus Magik (my top three characters lol), of course I'll appreciate the effort haha.

2) DS and the Sorcerers Supreme is basically a story set in different eras, including a possible future where adult Billy is the Sorcerer Supreme. It also features Nina, a brazilian (yay) Sorcerer Supreme from the 60s, along with debuting character Kushala, a native american who turns out is also a spirit of vengeance (and we love her!). Plus young Yao (Ancient One) and even Newton for some reason (?). They were gathered by Merlin to battle a foe called the Forgotten. That's basically it.

Wanda doesn't have a role in this story, I'm sorry to inform. Maybe you're referring to Last Days of Magic, tho? That's an amazing arc very dear to me in which a foe called Empirikul destroys and kills magic and its users across the dimensions/universes. He basically depowered every magic user at that time, although the real consequences were only felt in the Doctor Strange books (for more on this arc, check Doctor Strange v4 #1-10 by Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo). Lastly, yeah, MCU!Wendy is.... *sighs*. Every little thing about her is wrong and I'm with you and your partner there, we do not appreciate her in this house. If you want stories featuring the two of them (and those who were not written by Hickman because we know how he treats Wanda...), I have a list, actually! (cause I'm insane and have a guide for literally everything)

Green heart is a good characterization and/or good portrayal of their relationship. Broken heart is, you know.... bad vibes. You can find more team-up guides here (but it's still under construction simply because I forgor, I'm sorry 😭)

3) Lastly.... I could never forget to recommend the best Magik blog on the internet, @dailydamnation. There are a few I follow focused on Doom and Nova but it's not an in-depth analysis, more like random panels and posts. I wish I knew more blogs focused on comics here but overall the fan accounts are spread over twitter and we all know how much of a hell that place truly is. But if someone else would like to leave recs and promote your blogs, please feel free to do so!
