Damnation was a short and sweet Doctor Strange event following the events of Secret Empire. Specifically, if you’ve read Secret Empire (Secret Empire reading order here!) then it deals with what happened in Las Vegas.
The series is written by Donny Cates (who has done wonders with Marvel, and Nick Spencer (who went on to succeed Dan Slott on Spider-Man) and is a well written story. However, the problem with Damnation is that Doctor Strange was relaunched straight after this by Mark Waid making this story almost moot in the grand theme of things.
Either way, Marvel have collected the series in a handy trade collection and the issue by issue reading order is easy to follow.
Let’s get to it.
