A very mixed bag to say last, luckly the irish/witchcraft issues drawn by late Steve Dillon and Javier Pulido saved the day for me.'Nuff said.

Interesting enough for me to want to continue with the story, but this was a bit of a mixed bag. The art was drastically different in each issue, with issue 4 easily my favourite. That entire chapter was beautiful, and probably the strongest storyline wise. Issues 3 and 5 were the weakest for me. I want to see where it's going to go, but the next volume isn't going to the top of my 'books to buy ASAP' list either.

Scarlet Witch: Witches RoadBy James Robinson (Writer) and a fuck ton of artistsPublished by Marvel, 2016Synopsis: Witchcraft is broken and Wanda Maximoff is on the journey around the world to investigate it.Review:An episodic book with villain of the week style writing. For some, this will be fine. But for me, its a real point of frustration throughout the series. There is this lack of progression in terms of the overarching story. You could even say that the "witchcraft is broken" story-line is...

The artwork is lovely, the stories might not be groundbreaking but they are still pretty good. I read this volume as a reader who doesn't know much about the Scarlet Witch but I can still easily read through the whole thing. 4 stars.

Great art, especially on the covers, but the story is almost painfully uninspired. What's the point of doing a Scarlet Witch series if you aren't going to say anything interesting, or really anything at all, about her history of going off the deep end? But this is the Marvel Universe, and attractive redheads get free passes, so.

Compare this to Wytches or Rachel Rising on the witch meter and this falls short. It's plodding and mired in getting us background, a mistake for a first volume. I like the idea of a witch working with a nun on stuff. What is the relationship between the spiritual and the psychic. It's almost a good enough for me to keep reading it. Almost. Maybe. Tell me if it gets better.

I read the Marvel Comic books Scarlet Witch #1-5, story by the usually amazing James Robinson but in this case he doesn't do not enough to really create a captivating story despite it still being really well written, and drawn by a plethora of artists! Witchcraft is dead, so Wanda seeks out to fix it, and faces tough challenges including her own past. This is the best rendition of Wanda, probably ever though! 6 out of 12

This story of the Scarlet Witch drew me in. Wanda is so powerful that it's difficult to think that she can actually be beaten. It's more about seeing who she is. My favorite story is when she goes to Ireland and has to battle the Emerald Wizard - love that name. He is killing the land of Ireland and it lost its green, so you know I'm rooting for Wanda and how she wins is wonderful.She also heads to a possessed monastery to help there.I'm even more excited to see WandaVision now. This is going to...

This was one of those love-it or hate-it Marvel books. It's a very introspective and wandering volume, with the premise that magic is broken and maybe Wanda is broken and she sets up to fix it, fighting badness as she meets it along the way... and it never goes where you expect. There's a different artist on each section, with different styles and different levels of success. I thought it was a very interesting experiment... 'nuff said... Excelsior!

With Vision getting his own solo series once again, it's only fair that Scarlet Witch does too, and whilst Wanda's title isn't quite as innovative as her ex-husband's, it's still well worth a look, especially since the magical side of the Marvel Universe doesn't get nearly enough love.James Robinson teams with a multitude of artists to give Wanda a new status quo as she discovers witchcraft is broken, and only she (and the ghost of Agatha Harkness) can fix it. This leads her across the world as

Wanda Maximoff globe-hops like an international P.I., busting spiritual heads, taking names, and righting wrongs. The first two issues had mediocre artwork and thin stories, though there was a refreshingly human moment where she speaks of using medication for her depression. Things improve when she squares off with THE EMERALD WARLOCK! ("as he likes to yell at the top of his lungs," cracks SW) in the Irish countryside (of course) and then unofficially assists the Catholic Church - represented by...

The Scarlet Witch as some kind of spiritual detective out to save magic is a cool concept and the ever changing art keeps things interesting when the plot drags a bit. I'm a long time fan of the character and I'd heard so many positive things about this book that I admit I might be grading on a curve, but I'm looking forward to where the story is going.This might be hard sell for someone who isn't familiar with the character, because past knowledge about her and her world seem to be a given even...

Not bad but nothing memorable... if you want amazing witch stories go read Rachel Rising :p Maybe I'll read vol 2...

James Robinson’s pitch for a new Scarlet Witch series isn’t the strongest: er, just have her wander the Earth, fighting evil spirits and such? Its arbitrary, uninspired nature is why this first volume doesn’t leave much of an impression. The revolving door of artists, though giving it an inconsistent look, is the best part of this title. Marco Rudy’s painted art on the Greek issue where Wanda goes to battle the Minotaur is stunning and I was pleasantly surprised to see Steve Dillon drawing an is...

I was hoping James Robinson was back after reading Airboy but this was a return to Robinson phoning it in. The Scarlet Witch is traveling the world because something is "broken" with magic. The stories are all really boring. Robinson was trying to establish an arch-villain for the Scarlet Witch but it clearly didn't work. Each issue is drawn by a different artist so we get a mixed bag of good and poor art. It was nice to see Steve Dillon get to draw Ireland one last time before he passed away. J...

The premise of this new Scarlet Witch book seems to be the same as the new Dr. Strange book: magic is broken, protagonist must find out why and sort it out. I could accept this if it was supposed to be two sides of the same story, told from different characters' perspectives, but it seems to be unrelated, as the cause of magic being up the spout is different in each book.This book hasn't been done half as well as the Dr. Strange book, either, which is bound to lead to unfavourable comparisons. T...

3.5 starsEvery issue of this series has a different artist...Issue one: Definitely leaves something to be desired.Issue two: Goes with the trippy water color art that I tend to love (see:Weirdworld, Vol. 0: Warzones!).Issues three and four: Are partially done by the amazing Steve Dillon, part by someone else.It was quite the surprise to see Dillon's current art here having just read Preacher, Book 4.Issue five: With art by Javier Pulido (of She-Hulk, Vol. 1: Law and Disorder)Interesting start to...

A truly uninspiring and episodic adventure sending the Scarlet Witch on a mission around the world to try and find out why witchcraft is broken. The artwork is absolutely distracting, especially as it changes from one issue to another, forcing us to revel in unappealing artistic styles, occasionally original but mostly annoying.Yours truly,Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookidote.com/

This book was really boring. I kept reading along like, ok this will get interesting any moment now....it never did. Plus when I saw that there was a different artist for each issue, I knew that wouldn’t be good either. Shame because I really like Wanda and was hoping for something good.

I'd read anything starring Scarlet Witch. But this collection of comics right here ain't it. Instead skip straight to Vol #2. World of Witchcraft.
