Avengers: Vision and the Scarlet Witch by Bill Mantlo

samanthayoung's review against another edition

I am absolutely obsessed with all things Wanda and Vision right now so there was next to no possibility that I wouldn’t enjoy this collection. I’ll admit that the blatant sexism that exists in all 70s era marvel comics is a bitter pill, as well as the fact that Wanda is more featured as an aside to Vision; and let’s not lie Mantis marrying a tree was a tad weird... but as of right now give me all the Wanda/Vision I can stand!

 I have really gotten into all of the Marvel movies and fandom in the last few years and have been wanting to know more on the back stories and origins of these characters. Luckily, my boyfriend is also a massive Marvel fan and is lending me some of his comics to read. After loving WandaVision earlier this year, this comic seemed like a great starting place for me! 

This particular comic book is a bind up of 4 different comics that centre around Wanda Maximoff (aka The Scarlet Witch) and Vision. While it was a little confusing as it is not the first comics either of them have been introduced in, I really enjoyed getting to see more of their relationship and learning more about who the characters are.

The overall weirdness of Wanda and Vision's relationship and family life is one of my favorite things on Marvel comics and I expected to see the miniseries to lean onto that. Though it goes to dark places on most of its issues, I wish it had lasted longer and given us more of a regular plot. I hope the next series they had is better.

I'm a big fan of Bill Mantlo from his work on Hulk and Rocket and honestly didn't know this little limited series existed. I enjoyed it, but it is very much a product of the time it was written and I imagine folks not familiar with older comics may have a hard time getting into it.

This had remarkablely little to do with Wanda and Vision domestically despite that being the set up. 

And as astounding ableism and misrepresentation of autism. 

This one wasn't for me.
