A second vote for Season One for his origin story, then The Oath and Dr. Strange & Dr. Doom: Triumph & Torment. If you can find a copy check out Strange: The Doctor is Out

"Doctor Strange & Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment" is a great story, with good insight into both characters, beautiful art, and lots of magic, I highly recommend it!

How to Get Into Comic Books (13:40) by Patrick Willems

Consider your intent/commitment. Think about stories/characters from TV, movies, games, etc. that you already like. Do you seek “good” storytelling or encyclopedic Marvel knowledge? Are you here to collect or read? How much time/resources are available?

Don’t try to read everything—there’s too much. Forget about continuity, universes, and timelines; it's all very confusing, even to creators/fans. Older comics can be an acquired taste for modern audiences, so first appearances/early origins may not be the best starting points. Creative teams change often, characters get re-worked, and origins are re-told (e.g. I never cared for Hawkeye until Matt Fractions’ run).

Pick an interesting character/team and seek their “greatest hits”. Focus on well-received, relatively self-contained, and complete stories. You may encounter the occasional unexplained reference/character/event—just ride along (Wiki if necessary). Remember, there are so many other great characters and publishers to explore, and not all comics are about superheroes.

I'm currently reading Triumph & Torment and it's pretty good!

It's about Dr. Doom and Dr. Strange in a quest for von Doom's mother's soul.

Also, although he's super-popular, I really enjoyed the Deadpool story Wade Wilson's War.

I'm a big fan of Roger Stern's Strange run (Doctor Strange Vol. 2 #27–75). He also wrote Doctor Strange & Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment, which is fantastic. The Doctor Strange: The Oath miniseries was very good. He also played a big part in New Avengers.

Really, Strange is one of those rare characters where the really old comics hold up well even today. Don't be afraid to dive right in.

I very much favor Dr. Strange & Dr. Doom: Triumph and Torment. Not only is it a story all about Doom (and Strange, but it's Doom's story that's being explore mostly), it has fantastic Mike Mignola (of Hellboy fame) art to go with it.

Strange hasn't had a regular ongoing series since his title was cancelled in the 90s, just the occasional miniseries. Unfortunately, the Masterworks are probably your best option if you want to read entire runs, expensive as they are.

A second option, and I know it's not what you wanted, is to pursue some of the other Dr. Strange books Marvel has put out. Some are collected trades of miniseries like The Oath or issues from some of the core runs, others were released as complete graphic novels. Many of them are out of print, but you can find them on Amazon, often for cheaper than the Masterworks. Here are some of them:

  • A Separate Reality by Steve Englehart
  • Doctor Strange vs Dracula: The Montesi Formula by Roger Stern
  • Doctor Strange/Dr. Doom: Triumph and Torment by Roger Stern (with art by Mike Mignola)
  • Dr. Strange: Strange Tales by Peter Gillis
  • Strange by Mark Waid

    A Separate Reality is one of the major arcs from the Steve Englehart run on the Dr. Strange comics. It's weird and trippy, all about Strange getting lost in a surreal magical reality while a villain menaces his friends on Earth. Triumph and Torment is a graphic novel, and it's more a Dr. Doom story, but it's a great ride from beginning to end and has gorgeous art. The Montesi Formula is one of my favorite Dr. Strange stories, and is one of the major arcs of the Roger Stern run on the series, with cameos by Blade and some of the Avengers. Strange Tales is probably the closest to what you're looking for, as it contains almost the entire Peter Gillis run from the late 80s, and is about Dr. Strange descending into the use of dark magic to stop overwhelming threats from destroying the world. Strange was an attempt to launch a new series that didn't quite work out; it ends in an abrupt cliffhanger that was never resolved, but it's still a good read, all about a Dr. Strange who has mostly lost his powers and is struggling to get by.

    Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but hopefully some of this will sate your desire for more of the good doctor's adventures.

  • Emperor Doom because it firmly establishes him as a villain of the entire Marvel Universe and not just the FF.

  • Triumph & Torment puts a lot of Doom’s magic connections into context and its drawn by Mike Mignola.

  • Secret Wars shows how much of a bad ass Doom can be. Its essential reading for comics in general.

TRIUMPH & TORMENT is my personal favorite and a must read. Doctor Strange + Doctor Doom drawn by Mike Mignola? Yes please.

u/TheSecondLesson · 1 pointr/marvelstudios

Bucky should be wearing Cap’s gear by now.

Also, the rise of doom should be a standalone film with the focus solely on doom.

A4 should have shown Marvel that villains don’t always have to lose.

Lastly, some of dooms best material is when he was working alongside Strange. Don’t start them off as adversaries.
