History ComicBook / TheDeathOfDoctorStrange

* BenevolentAlienInvasion: The "Juggernauts" that were "rampaging" in New York, seemed a bit off. They were mostly stealing construction materials and only fought when attacked the Avengers and only did the minimum. Turns out it wasn't an invasion. Cyttorak had fled the Crimson dimension to another world while the Three Mothers were killing everyone there, but an illegitimate young daughter had escaped to Earth and was constructing - not a palace, but memorial for her people and a psychic beacon to warn Earth of what the Three Mothers and Peregrine Child are doing.

* TheBusCameBack: The event features the return of enemies of Dr. Strange who hadn't been seen in years; Umar (2011), Tiboro (2011) and Aggamon (1992).

* TheDreaded: The magical incursions from other dimensions in the first issue wasn't a sequence of invasions, they were ''evacuations'' from entities known as the Three Mothers.

* EldritchAbomination: The Peregrine Child and the Three Mothers are magical, unstoppable creatures with unknown origins but were powerful enough to consume through different dimensions and easily hold off Earth's superheroes.

* FromBadToWorse: No sooner does Strange die does Captain America makes a call asking for his help as Earth is suddenly under invasion.

* HeroicBSOD: Iron Man became deeply traumatized during his fight with the Crawling, who had poured her acid-drooling worms [[ArmorPiercingAttack through his armor]]. After the Avengers' loss, Tony showered constantly and had his A.I. scan the armor multiple times for biological material. Later while disarming a nuke in a swamp, Tony had a paralyzing panic attack while seeing some leeches.

* MagicEater: The "Peregrine Child" that the Three Mothers serve is a legendary being capable of devouring all the magic out of a dimension. No one knows where it came from, with some theories saying it's just [[FightingAShadow single piece]] of a [[EldritchAbomination higher dimensional]] whose appearance can be barely grasped.

* NighInvulnerable: A big reason why the Three Mothers are so invincible, they NoSell everything the Avengers, X-Men and everyone threw at them. Even the spell to defeat them, just teleported them individually to different corners of the universe.

* TheReveal: Issue #4 reveals [[spoiler: The Dread Warlords and Kaecilius are responsible for Stephen's death. The Warlords, fleeing the Peregrine Child, needed the mystical barriers protecting Earth dropped to make their last stand. As they were in a hurry, that meant killing the Sorcerer Supreme...which Kaecilius was happy to do and to try and frame his old master in the bargain.]]

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[Ghost Strange]] was created very early on in Stephen's career as a sorcerer and superhero, so he's out of the loop on quite a few things and doesn't recognize Bats or Zelma. He also reacts with shock when he learns Clea [[spoiler: is his wife.]]

* ''The Death of Doctor Strange: [[Characters/AgentsOfAtlasNew White Fox]]'' #1: In the wake of Doctor Strange’s death, a mysterious threat with dark ties to White Fox’s origin will surface to reveal shocking secrets about White Fox’s origin and change her future forever. Written by Alyssa Wong, with art by Andie Tong.

* NotMeThisTime: When Baron Mordo drops in to find out what happened to his rival, he tells the others there he isn't the one who did so and that he's angry because [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou whoever killed him stole his kill]].

This storyline will be succeeded by ''ComicBook/Strange2022'', a new ongoing series that follows Stephen's on-off love interest, Clea, as she inherits the title of Sorcerer Supreme while trying to bring him back to life.

* WreckedWeapon: In ''White Fox'', ComicBook/SwordMaster has his magical sword shattered in battle, the demon who broke it telling him that his uncertainty in using such a weapon was what made it so weak. His attempts to fix this will be the first arc [[spoiler:in his stint as the new Iron Fist.]]

* OneBadMother: The BigBadTriumvirate of this event are a trinity of powerful, mystical entities collectively known as the Three Mothers. They are pleased to arrive on Earth and find an abundance of magic to feed to their "Child".

* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: An interesting inversion. [[spoiler:Issue 3 reveals that the otherworldly invasions aren’t invasions at all: they’re taking up places on Earth so that when the Three Mothers invade, the Avengers, the X-Men and other teams can take care of them]].

* BecauseDestinySaidSo: In ''X-Men/Black Knight'', it's revealed that [[spoiler:Excalibur and the Stone it was stuck in was actually a SealedEvilInACan known as The Hungry Land. However, despite Arthur begging him to put Excalibur back in the stone, Merlin refused and instead used the stone to forge the Ebony items while using a barrier to hold back The Hungry Land so he can have his perfect myth.]]
