The art style varied in the different series presented in this bind up. The 80s and 90s Wanda was definitely not my favorite style between the hair and the red leotard but Iiked these stores. My favorite was Wandas and Pietros organ with Magento
When Marvel released their money printing machine movies last summer, they also published volumes that collected stories about some of the new characters. The Ant-Man/Scott Lang title was a decent read, but now we have some of the collected stories about Scarlet Witch, a new cinematic Avenger.The problem here is that the Scarlet Witch (aka Wanda Maximoff) has pretty much always been a team player: Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, the Avengers and the central figure in one of Marvel’s most far-reachi...
shes just so powerful her everything ugh it amazes me sometimes
A collection of stories, the main one being Scarlet Witch’s mini from the 90s which isn’t the best but it’s a lot better than some Marvel comics I’ve read from that era. Her costume in there is absolutely hideous and uninspired. I love Scarlet Witch she’s one of my favorite Marvel characters so it pains me to see one of her few solo outings be so meh. I did really like the the Avengers Origins one shot I think it did a great job revamping the twins origin for a modern audience.
Not Marvels best, kind of lacked an over arcing story line? And when there were storylines they were kind of pointless? I didn't completely hate it, but I didn't love it either.
1.25 starsI really, really disliked the art for the older comics. And it's beyond me why would a woman dressed in a bathing suit and a cape wonder through a snowy landscape. Yes, she's a mutant and she has magic. Does that keep her warm? Meh.
So, this is a collection of Scarlet Witch issues over the years... most of them taking place during the dissolution of the West Coast Avengers, but not all of them. I've read some of these collections before (most of them Iron Fist, admittedly) and I've come to expect a certain degree of continuity within it all. Normally the stories follow some broadly defined arcs so they're relatively easy to follow. This felt like a bit of an explosion.There was no continuity whatsoever. In some issues she w...
Filling in that WandaVision back story is getting to be a little bit of a chore. This is a ragbag collection of a mini-series, a few short one offs, and some back up stories all of which add little to the character beyond buffetting her around the winds of fate within the Marvel Universe. The mini, the main reason for this book, is pretty horrid - its yet again one that redefines Wanda for a new age, and creates this idea of her being a Nexus being - it perhaps amps up her power but doesn't real...
Story has been fine, a bit mediocre; definitely not OMG! AMAZING. I also really, *really* hate the old style art. I was hoping the book would have more "modern" art but it looks like that will only be in the last bit of the book. Hoped to read on FCBD this year but wasn't able to convince myself to read it all through on that day.
3.5/5 a good collection of wandas origins. I loved seeing her embrace the title of a nexus being
I've always been a fan of Scarlet Witch. She might even be my favorite female Marvel character alongside Jean Grey. This was the only graphic novel readily available to me, so I decided to give it a shot. It only succeeded in one thing, and it's to make me like Scarlet Witch a lot less than I did before.The whole collection is a rollercoaster ride full of confusing twists and turns that didn't make sense. The collection didn't really showcase the real Scarlet Witch and her potentials. She has a
This book is so bad, it's hilarious.I understand the material is old (it's stuff from the 70's), it was a different time back then and comics are still not that kind towards women. But.I recommend this only if you:(a) Want to have every feminist bone in your body broken horribly(b) Want to read a series of useless stories that defy common sense(c) Want to see Wanda in a swimsuit Really, I can't even begin to imagine what they were thinking when they republished all this junk. I'll try to go thro...
The compilation of comics in this graphic novel are all over the place. Sure, it gives some good background information about Scarlet Witch, and her various appearances from the very beginning until now from her recent releases. That's it though... it was sort of a waste of $30 but it's okay because Scarlet Witch is awesome nonetheless.
This is a collection of solo Scarlet Witch stories that range from the 80's, 90's, and the 00's. The one connecting theme that I could identify was that the majority of the stories explicitly discuss her hex magic power. I enjoyed reading a variety of stories from different ages of comics. Just studying the covers and noticing the change in comics prices was a fun exercise. There are a few pin-ups and reprints of trading cards in the book. My favorite story is the one where Scarlet Witch has to
Urgh the outfit choices in the earlier comics especially are really annoying, what is basically a bathing suit and a cape is absolutely the first choice a woman goes to when walking in the snow right? Just no. Also all of the stories collected here are a bit of a missmash. Definitely not a collection for anybody wanting to find out more about Scarlet Witch imo.
Collecting 4 of the best late 80's early 90's stories for Scarlet witch. Some are better than others but you expect that
A compilation of several stories. Decent
Prettty typical Scarlet Witch. Kind of boring, kind of pointless. It is only rare that I find Scarlet Witch done well. If this is someone's idea of a best of, then it's even worse than I thought. But not actually bad. There are some stories here and the art is not actually horrible.
(This review may contain spoilers).Since the Scarlet Witch is probably one of my favourite members of the Marvel comic verse, I was really happy to receive this comic book as a present.I thought there was a really good variety of different storylines from Wanda's storyline. I liked seeing her interacting with different members of the Avengers and it was nice to see her with her husband... even if only for a moment or two.I found Wanda's powers to be really intriguing and I felt really bad for th...
I really enjoyed this collection of stories. I wasn't always a fan of the art style or hair/costume for Wanda but honestly comicbook hero costumes have had some serious changes over the years and it's always a trip to see some of the bad ones (Wanda's short 80s hair is a big yikes) Overall the stories were all interesting and scarlet witch is a favorite character of mine.
