Review/plot:
I sure have a lot of Over The Edges for someone who hates the format. The answer, of course, is bargain bins.

Dr. Strange investigates people who have been dying in their sleep. He naturally seeks out Nightmare. But Nightmare is still in his Edvard Harberdash guise, hanging out on Earth with Roxanne and using his weird chairs.

Roxanne is only staying with Nightmare out of fear, but Nightmare is trying to earn her trust. And he's not responsible for the deaths. So he and Strange go to Nightmare's realm and Nightmare interrogates Doggerel, who he had left in charge.

But the entity responsible for the deaths is, uh, this guy.

I guess he's a spurned lover and he's been killing his ex's new boyfriends or something like that. Strange stops him. There's a momen where Nightmare has to protect Strange's body while he's going after the guy, and he chooses to not take advantage of that. And then, in the end, since Strange can't do anything to the guy legally (technically he just says that he hasn't decided on a punishment), he leaves him to Nightmare.

Boring but harmless. It's nice to see a follow-up on Nightmare's miniseries.
