Synopsis for "The Art of Puking Without Puking"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Doctor Strange (Vol. 4) #4
Doctor Strange meets with all of the Earth's most prominent magicians in the Bar With No Doors, where they have all gathered because they have felt the disturbances in magic. He explains to all of them the on going odd occurrences, how magic seems to be disappearing and how the Sorcerers Supreme of all the other dimensions seem to have been killed. The group agrees to watch out for whatever is coming and contact each other as they gain more information. Later, while organizing his mystic tomes in his sanctum, the Doctor with Zelma Stanton gets nauseous due to his use of magic and contemplates on how every use of magic comes with a cost. After being refreshed by food he enters a doorway that leads to the bottom of the Indian Ocean where the Temple of Watoomb lies. All of the Temple's magic has been drained, and as Strange is investigating he is attacked by a mechanical monster which he realizes is sucking away magic. While he is fighting the machine he gets a call from Zelma informing him that all the books in his library are dying. Strange defeats the monster and broadcasts a message to all magicians of his dimension, letting them know that the magic-hunting threat has already reached Earth. As he broadcasts this message, the Doctor is surrounded by a pack of Witchfinder Wolves.

Synopsis for "Pound of Flesh"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Doctor Strange (Vol. 4) #5
Doctor Strange reflects on how every use of magic comes with a cost and how in the early days of his career he would suffer horrible side-effects to using magic which he thought he usually got rid of by going to the cellar in the Sanctum Sanctorum. In reality, his assistant Wong had not been taking him to the cellar, but had been training an army of soldiers in the Himalayas called the Secret Disciples of Strange who were men that took the side-effects of Strange's spells upon themselves. Strange would usually be passed out when Wong transferred the consequences to the men, so he assumed it was the cellar's work. In the present day Wong goes to visit the disciples and tells them that he needs all of them at his disposal for the threat Doctor Strange is going to face. As he is there, large orbs containing Witchfinder Wolves plummet down to the location and attack Wong and the disciples.

All over the Earth orbs are invading, attacking any magical locations that exist. The magicians of the Earth try to fight them off. In the Temple of Watoomb Doctor Strange is fighting off his own pack of Witchfinder Wolves and orbs as all the Earth's magic is being sucked away. Realizing he needs to kill all of them at once instead of fighting them one by one, he casts an incredibly powerful spell of Atlantian Black Magic that destroys all of the black orbs on Earth and cripples Strange and the Secret Disciples.

As he looks up, though, Strange witnesses a giant spherical ship descending onto New York, from which the Imperator and his Eyebots emerge.
