It's painfully obvious that Marvel doesn't give two shits about its Magic side. After all, they did put Jason "Muh atheist boner" Aaron on Doctor fucking Strange of all things. BUT, the title sells better than most Marvel stuff, so I think the Doc can still be salvaged.
>retcon his age
None of this "looking like a 30 YO man" crap. Strange should look like a man in his 50s. Well mantained, but "old".
>do away with the quips
Seriously, why the fuck is Doctor Strange of all people quipping? And making out with Demon-ness-es mid-exorcism? It's silly and makes a lick of sense for him to change that much. Unless of course this is low-key Ultimate Strange AKA Strange Jr.
>bring back his regallity
What is it with the sneakers, lack of gloves, scruffy beard, etc, etc? Even if your story is the played out "muh magic and title are gone" shit, why take away his robes? Why?!
>bring back the supporting cast
Stop creating OCs.Bring back Clea & Rintrah. Give him either Magik/Billy/Nico as students. Bring in Hannibal King as a John Constantine type (King debuted before John FYI). Keep the Bar with no Doors, that was the only good thing Aaron did.
>revitalize the villains
Make Mordo more of an autistic swashbuckler. He wants to prove that he's the best, but he's not interested in governing kingdoms that much. The original Mordo got redeemed and the one running around is a time-displaced version. Give him a new niche and roll with it.
Bring back Le Fay and since the F4 are gone, pair her up with Doom as some sort of power couple. Doom is going to go back to villainy, so you might as well give him to Strange instead of Stark. Rework Lillith, Nightmare, and all the Eldritchs.
>alien magic
Seriously, why isn't Strange travelling to other planets to learn alien magic? We've seen alien sorcerers, so what gives? That'd be the hook of the new book.
So, any other ideas?
