The fish thieves were caught on camera. And so FIFTY dollars was added unto their final bill. Plus stills of them were taken and put up around the office with insulting captions...

Office Fish, you have been AVENGED! Let this be a lesson to other trawlers in the oceans of crime, fishing for naughtyness brings a terrible cost!

Dr. Strange: The Oath written by Brian K. Vaughn, art by Marcos Martin, inks & colors by Alvaro Lopez & Javier Rodriguez, letters by Willie Schubert

And welcome to the last good Dr. Strange story. One that opens with Strange being dragged into the clinic of Dr. Linda "Night Nurse" Carter. Strange has been shot and so Wong takes him to the only doctor in the city who specializes in vigilante trauma. From there we learn that Wong has a malignant brain tumor, Dr. Strange located a magical potion that can cure it and the person who shot him was a costumed burglur named Brigand who stole the potion on behalf of a mysterious enemy of the Sorcerer Supreme. And then we get demons, robots and Hitler's Gun...

Vaughn tells what is probably one of the best Dr. Strange stories in years, an impressive talent given the difficulties most writer's have in presenting the character (*glares at Bendis*). And Martin has a classical comic book style of art that meshes well. Though honestly, the book is almost worth picking up just for the first two pages and the conversation between rookie hero Arana and Iron Fist in Night Nurse's waiting room...
