More punishing time, and given that Spider-Man’s in these, but not much, we’re just gonna take them all in one post. Like so many comics, these take place in some nebulous time…

UMTU 13
More magical mayhem awaits. We begin this month on a very trippy visual of Strange drifting through his own memory of a confrontation with his mother, wherein he’d learned about his dad’s…
