Story Summary
In this explosive issue, Doctor Strange #7, the master of the mystic arts is brought to his knees. The Imperator, leader of the Empirikul—a fanatical anti-magic force—has waged war against magic across the multiverse. Now, with Strange stripped of his arcane abilities and artifacts shattered, he is left to defend not only himself but the very essence of sorcery.
As reality bends and ancient wards fall, Strange is faced with an impossible question: can he protect the world when he no longer possesses the power to do so? Or will the Imperator finally achieve his goal of eradicating all magic?
Amid despair, Strange must seek unconventional sources of hope—and the support of fellow magic-wielders who still believe in the mystical arts.
