Marvel Comics releases an official trailer for Death of Doctor Strange, the five-issue event series launching in September.

Marvel Comics has unveiled an official trailer for Death of Doctor Strange, its upcoming five-part event series by Jed MacKay and Lee Garbett that chronicles the final days of the Sorcerer Supreme.

"The last moments in the life of Stephen Strange are upon us in Death of Doctor Strange," Marvel said in an official press release. "Writer Jed MacKay and artist Lee Garbett unite for this terrifying tale filled with deadly new villains, outstanding mystical feats and complex mysteries that all of Marvel's heroes will be desperate to solve! Fans can get their first glimpse at the dangers to come in the all-new Death of Doctor Strange trailer, featuring never-before-seen artwork from the first issue!"

Death of Doctor Strange is set to launch in comic shops on Wednesday, Sept. 22. In addition to the main five-part limited series, the event will also consist of a number of tie-ins, including Death of Doctor Strange: Avengers #1 and Strange Academy Presents: Death of Doctor Strange #1, Death of Doctor Strange: Spider-Man #1 and Death of Doctor Strange: White Fox #1.

"'What happens to the world if Doctor Strange isn't in it?' It's a question that I'm excited to show people the answer to in Death of Doctor Strange," said MacKay. "Strange has been a Marvel fixture from the early days, but now, his time has run out and as a Strange fan, it's been my bittersweet privilege to shepherd him through his last day and the effects that snowball out of it. We've cooked up a whale of a story to send Strange off with, and I can't wait for people to join us on it!"

"Doctor Strange has long been top of my 'most coveted character' list. To finally get chance to draw him in such a momentous series is… well, magic," added Garbett. "I couldn't be more excited for the project and for everyone to see what we've got in store for Stephen and those closest to him. Jed's conjured the perfect finale for Doctor Strange -- and it's a real third eye-opener!"
