Doctor Strange #10 left us with a bit of a cliffhanger as Eternity embroiled our hero in a cosmic game of his own devising to decide the fate of the very Earth itself. And so, because I'm not so much of a jerk I'd randomly move to another comic, it is time to life the veil on what follows as I delve into the dark secrets of Strange's psyche in Doctor Strange #11!

Comics and Equality
A slight break from my usual "swearing about comics" content to swear about how comic fandom reacts to equality and inclusiveness.
You see, something I see a lot of on Facebook and other social media is people in various fandoms whinging that EVERYTHING IS RUINED FOREVER because some aspect of said fandom isn't exactly like it was during some rose-tinted past that usually coincides with the person being in their teens. Quite often these whingers are white, middle-class, cis-gendered, heterosexual Western men, in other words: privileged, and quite often the thing they are whinging about is how whatever fandom is changing to be more inclusive for those less privileged: black people, gay people, women, et cetera.
