Personally, I notice that way more in Thor. There have been several situations where Odin is like "LOL, I HAD THIS UNDER CONTROL THE WHOLE TIME!!11" then snaps his fingers and everything is dandy again.

I really wish Steranko had done a run on Doctor Strange, I imagine that the comic would have benefitted hugely from his psychedelic art style.

Yea, the Odin thing is also cheap and it really weakens Thor as a series. I actually prefer that character in Avengers books over his own title for just that reason.

And man your right, his style was tailor made for that kind of content. Did you know in like 69 or 70 Steranko wrote a history of comic books book. I am trying to find a copy, would be interesting to see his take and the at the time behind the scenes.

Based on the reviews I see that not everyone is enjoying the return of Dr. Strange in Marvel Premier, but I've really liked it so far. Sure, a couple of the demons he's fought are a little corny, but they're straight out of B-horror, which I kinda dig. Additionally, the broader arc right now is fairly intense, with the return of Shuma-Gorath or whatever, I'm excited for the climax, hopefully it doesn't let me down (Edit: It didn't, not one little bit). I know the argument against Strange is that he seems all powerful, and it's true that he does occasionally just own someone without really trying, but I think it's important to keep in mind that he's really the only line of defense against certain forces in the Marvel U, so he needs to be on top of his game. When he's really up against a powerful entity, he gets his ass kicked right up to the moment he finally pulls it together (not unlike most heroes I might add), but you get the feeling that if he can't quite get it done, then earth is fucked. That's exciting, to me at least.
