Doctor Strange Annual #1 — Writer: Kathryn Immonen;  Art: Leonardo Romero;  Colors: Jordie Bellaire Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur #11 — Writers: Amy Reeder and Brandon Montclare;  Art: Natacha Bustos;  Colors: Tamra Bonvillain Lots and lots of comics this week — almost thirty, and I pruned at least a half-dozen more — so let’s jump in, starting with the two Marvel books that aren’t Civil War II related. Doctor Strange Annual features the return of Clea, the other-dimensional sorceress who’s also Doc’s wife.
