Dormammu is considered one of Strange's greatest foes, but in the movie, he was second fiddle to Baron Mordo (Despite granting Mordo his power).

I'm not a fan of the movie, but I haven't seen it in years, so my memory of it is hazy, but you're free to love it.

Even in New Avengers, where he played a central part to the story, he just dumped exposition and did ridiculous attacks every other chapter and that was it. I find it hard to imagine him carrying his own comic, he's sort of a budget version of John Constantine.

I guess someone at Marvel is a fan, since he remains a constant. Ghost Riders and Captain Americas may die, but Doctor Strange is forever.

Not a big reader of Marvel comics, I didn't even know he was still around. But dying is sort of like stubbing your toe in comics, so I guess it doesn't really matter.
