Shades of the Seraphim! This tale evokes the simple, but fun, days of Lee and Ditko!
It's been a long time coming for poor Stephen Strange. He's fallen far from his last moments of greatness during the Steve Englehart era. In the interim, he's been "modernized", metamorphized and (in a sense) bastardized to the point it was hard to remember his awesome origins.
Brian Vaughn, excellent author of other favorite series of mine (see: Ex Machina, Y: The Last Man) captures the "old" Dr. Strange, part medical genius, part sorcerer supreme, part absent minded professor.
You can see a lot of this tale in the Dr. Strange movie, bypassing some of the perplexing character changes he's gone through over the past 30+ years.
The story (and I never spoil plots) is direct and engaging, smoothly weaving in past events to "retell" the origin without laboring down the current tale. The addition of Night Nurse and the ever faithful Wong as major players in the plot adds to the richness of the tale.
The art is fabulously evocative, again bringing on a sense of Ditko layouts and imagination.
It was a long time coming, but "The Oath" is a return of the classic Dr. Strange that has always been so enduring. Welcome back!
