Review/plot:
Dr. Strange repels an alien invasion. The aliens have mystical powers that allow them to astrally project and possess the local humans.

The locals suspect Dr. Strange of being behind their problems when he first shows up. But even they admit that he looks "awesome".

Possibly the first alien invasion ever to have been repelled via magic.

Quality Rating: C
