Issue synopsis from Comixology.com

New spells, allies and enemies - new and old - await Strange beyond the stars, along with corners and secrets of the Marvel Universe seen here for the first time!

REVIEW 2 (32:32 - 1:06:44) : Doctor Strange 2018 Issue 2 Review Podcast Spoiler filled Synopsis

This series is Written by Mark Waid with Artwork and cover by Jesús Saiz

Issue synopsis from Mark Waid's intro to this issue.

Though the Dragon Lines were restored and magic on Earth was safe from external threats, Doctor Stephen Strange could only watch in horror as his connection to it vanished. Afraid his condition could be contagious to other sorcerers, Strange sought help from Tony Stark a man of science with experience of rebuilding himself from nothing. Stark's solution: a one man spacecraft, a universal translator, and a carefully plotted course into the stars. If terrestrial power was unreachable, there must be magic somewhere in the infinite universe Strange could grasp. But before he reached his destination, a comet stranded Strange on a planet with hostile residents who had no native word for "Magic".

The series comes to an end and has an intriguing set up for Daredevil Born again.Echo Episode 5 Maya SynopsisEcho Character Created by David Mack and Joe Quesada Head Writer: Marion Dayre Written by: Amy Rardin and Steven Judd & Ellen Morton and Chantelle Wells Episode Directed by: Sydney Freeland In a flashback to her childhood, Maya hits a woodpecker with a slingshot. Taloa reprimands Maya for hurting an innocent life, and, with her hands glowing, heals the woodpecker. Later, the two release it back into the wild. Having left Tamaha and on the road Maya stops off at services unaware that back in Tamaha her family are in danger as Fisk plans retribution for her rejection of his offer to return to New York as his Partner.  In Tamaha as the community gets ready for the Choctaw Nation Pow Wow, Biscuits messages Maya that Chula and Bonnie are missing, and she returns to Tamaha. She quickly visits Chula's home, and is met by a vision of her mother, Taloa. Taloa tells her that she is the embodiment of their people's legacy, and that this legacy will echo through her actions.  The vision ends, revealing Chula's finished garment. At the Choctaw Pow Wow Festival, Maya locates Fisk, who has kidnapped Chula and Bonnie, and threatens to kill her entire family for betraying him. While Biscuits incapacitates Fisk's men with a monster truck, and Henry takes out Zane, Maya shares her Choctaw powers with Chula and Bonnie, who overpower Fisk's men.  Using her powers, Maya takes Fisk to the memory of his father beating his mother, in an effort to heal his trauma and help him let go of his anger. Returning to reality, an outraged Fisk demands to know what she did to him and leaves the festival before the police arrive.  The next day, Maya says goodbye to her family before leaving Tamaha. In a mid-credits scene, Fisk is on his airplane watching with interest a news story that talks about the lack of front-runners in the New York mayoral elections and sparks an unexpected idea in the Kingpin.The Echo Pub QuizDuring each podcast we'll ask a question about each episode in our Echo Pub Quiz.

Echo Episode 5 Maya Review

Derek, John and Chris are back to Echo Episode 4 Taloa the penultimate episode of the tv show as we learn another ancestors story and Maya gets an offer from Fisk.Echo Episode 4 Taloa SynopsisEcho Character Created by David Mack and Joe Quesada Head Writer: Marion Dayre Written by: Ken Kristensen, Joshua Feldman and Chantelle Wells Episode Directed by: Sydney Freeland In 2008, a young Maya is verbally abused by an ice cream vendor, who fails to understand her request for ice cream. An enraged Fisk retaliates by brutally attacking the vendor. Although Maya witnesses this, she kicks the vendor as payback.  Several years later, Maya is about to begin working for Fisk, when he offers a final lesson - only the two of them can trust one another. While they finish their shared dinner, Fisk's ASL translator is dismissed and brutally killed. Back in Tamaha at Maya’s family home, Fisk and his men surround Maya, but Fisk gives Maya an augmented reality contact lens so that they can communicate without an ASL interpreter. Fisk tells her that he will give her his criminal empire if she agrees to return with him to New York, giving her one day to decide.  Maya shares this with Henry, who advises against it, but she suddenly receives a vision of her ancestors. At the Choctaw Powwow festival grounds, Chula receives the same vision. Henry takes Maya to see Chula, who tells her that their ancestors help them when they need it most, recounting a vision that she received when giving birth to Maya's mother, Taloa.  Maya leaves in anger, feeling abandoned by Chula as a child. Chula later begins to work on a special garment. That night, Maya goes to Fisk's hotel with the intention of killing him. Revealing to her that he killed his father after seeing him beat his mother, Fisk tells her to make good on her threat if that is what she needs, but she rejects this. He repeats his invitation to join her in New York, but is enraged to find out the next morning that Maya has left Tamaha without him.The Echo Pub QuizDuring each podcast we'll ask a question about each episode in our Echo Pub Quiz.
