The Rundown: Wanda’s domestic life in her new town is interrupted by a terrifying attack.
Wanda’s life in Lotkill continues to be one of peace as she finds herself more accepted by the people of the town and continues to make friends and connections. She also continues to attempt to deal with the darkness of Chthon within her and his warnings about Agatha Harkness and what she is after.
Returning to her shop, Wanda and Darcy witness the sky open up and dark creatures emerge from a tear in space. Creatures that seem to feed on Wanda’s magic prompting the Scarlet Witch to emerge and attempt to protect the people of the town. Unfortunately, her displays of power will draw the attention of a dangerous entity targeting her directly.
The Story: Orlando crafts another intense, action packed and engaging story for Wanda in this issue. The story has a great buildup of tension and emotion as Wanda leans into her new life and her connection to the people in the town. I like the contrast of her attempts at a normal life as she deals with the darkness inside her as well as external forces caused by her presence. An intriguing and entertaining issue that definitely makes me want to see what happens next.
The Art: Camagni delivers fantastic art throughout the issue. The visual style is beautifully detailed and brilliantly compelling.
