Well, I just got this on loan from the library and discovered that I had already read all the material included in this volume. This was a good bunch of stories and Robinson did a great job re-working Wanda and her role in the Marvel Universe. She's always been a favorite character of mine and after Bendis completely decimated her character, history and personality in the pages of the Avengers it was a long hard road to get her back. I liked the rotating artists as well, each one brought somethi...
There was certainly some decent art, but overall, this was very light on payoffs and plot.The best issue involved Wanda talking to a shrink, and a close second was the Civil War 2 tie-in. That should give you a good idea of just how (not) exciting this book was. We were introduced to a kind of fun new character named The Wu... but she didn’t do a whole lot. I was happy to be finished with this. I didn’t hate it, but I hardly enjoyed it. Very meh.
[Read as single issues]I absolutely love what James Robinson is doing with this book. Every issue reveals a little something more about Wanda as a character, and magic as a whole, as she explores the world of witchcraft (hence the title) and solves magical crimes as she tries to get closer to the secret of her mother's identity and who has poisoned magic itself. This is a very quiet, introspective book for the most part, with explosions of colour punctuating the battle scenes. There's always a l...
As I said about the first volume, 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. Each story is nicely self-contained, and it's a true globe-spanning sequence. Even the cross-over piece where she meets Pietro worked pretty well. There's a different artist on each sect...
enjoyed this more than vol 1.
Scarlett Witch deals with a new threat in each of these stand alone issues while bemoaning that she should be looking into her real mother. Most of the issues consist of 2 people talking for each issue are very introspective. Outside of the Civil War II tie-in where she finally has it out with her brother, Pietro, I didn't find the issues very entertaining. I take that back, I did like The Wu. In fact I found her more interesting than Wanda. I liked how they had a different female creative team
I have to admit, I didn't feel so thrilled with this Scarlet Witch series, but the art finally captured me and I've finally become fascinated by the character. I hadn't enjoyed a Marvel comic as much as I'm enjoying this one in a really long time. I've never liked The Avengers or the Scarlet Witch, and this story has been a perfect way to discover her.
Episodic magic problems with different art each issue. The art is all gorgeous, the combo of Jones and Rosenberg is especially jaw-dropping.Unfortunately the story didn't do much for me. It either covered magical people who only get that issue for development or features annoying event tie-in crap.A very pretty pile of meh.
This was fantastic. A great supporting cast of characters with each comic introducing a new witch: Alice, Alauin, Maynard, Hiroshi, August. There's even a comic with Pietro and one with Dr Strange! It's got some gorgeous panels too. A vast improvement on #1, Witches Road.
Not quite as boring as volume 1. The art is nice. Also Wanda isn’t a Mutant now?!
I read the first volume of this back in 2016, and in the interest of clearing the series off my tablet, I've decided to finally finish it now. Unfortunately it's just as mediocre and forgettable as the first volume was, in which Wanda Maximoff has a series of standalone adventures that are only VERY loosely connected by a vague plot thread of her wanting to find her real mother (she'll get around to it one of these days, right after another side adventure that has nothing to do with anything). T...
With words and story by the usually amazing James Robinson, who on this occasion maybe because of corporate Marvel's limitations(?) does not do enough to really create a captivating story; he's not helped by having so many different artists across the series. Magic is dead, so Wanda tours the magic places around the world investigating its demise and as a result and faces tough challenges, with the toughest challenge being her own past. This is still the best rendition of Wanda, probably ever, b...
Robinson continues to weave together the various plot and character threads established in the first volume, and leading up to what we now know is the final volume of this series. Look, I'll agree that many male writers do not know how to write female characters. Here, Robinson is doing a good job of further developing a character who previously had been a follower. Wanda is becoming her own woman, and the forced Civil War II issues really allows the reader to explore this as she has a verbal co...
2.75 stars. This volume was little better than the last one. These issues feel like one shots. They barely have a feeling of connectivity. She deals with a threat in each issue and they all flow the same. Most of the issue is Wanda talking with someone for the majority of the issue then defeating the threat easily in like one page. The stand out stuff was the Civil Way II tie where Wanda and her brother Quicksilver let it all hang out in a big argument and the stuff with The Wu. An OK volume. Ho...
Excellent! It is no secret that this series is honestly my favourite comic of the year; it truly is amazing! So if you don't already know, this series follows a different approach, as their is one overarching story, however each issue is its own one shot story, while still adding to the main story; similar to the story format of Samurai Jack, if you ever saw that cartoon(If you have not, what you doing with your life?)! The stories although one shots, are all absolutely well written and original...
Scarlet Witch: World of WitchcraftBy James Robinson (Writer) and a fuck ton of artistsPublished by Marvel, 2016Synopsis: Wanda Maximoff is continuing her journey to fix witchcraft and to fix herselfReview:Again a episodic story with Wanda helping the Magic world with her experience. It suffers from the same problems of the first book as it does not have a central villain nor a central storyline. The thing closest to a story is Wanda looking for the truth about her mother. The way this book is wr...
that wanda and pietro fight i would like to see it in the mcu immediately thank you
In this second volume, Wanda continues her globe-spanning investigation into what is deeply wrong with witchcraft and magic. I'm enjoying this book; it's a nice change of pace from a lot of the rest of Marvel's output. The Civil War II crossover issue was pretty good, featuring a clash between Wanda and her fleet-footed brother Quicksilver, and didn't derail the ongoing plot.The fact that there is a new artist with every issue makes the book feel a little disjointed but some of the artwork has b...
I read this whole thing while sitting on the floor of a B&N and I have no a little shame.I really enjoyed reading this. I love Wanda so much!! Every issue just made me get more attached to her - and more worried for her, but I'm trying to keep things positive here. And I was so happy that each issue felt like a complete story! I don't really like comic miniseries because they always seem so rushed, but this series manages to take a fifth of that length and make it the perfect length every time.I...
The Scarlet Witch continues her episodic series of encounters trying to help Magical situations where she can.I think Robinson is falling into a good groove with this series, as it flows a lot better than the first volume. We see her helping different magical people in different countries/cities, and occupying her mind from her other issues.Speaking of other issues, those are approached a bit more head on this volume, with a chapter showing Wanda going to a therapist and having said therapist "l...
