Felt really short and like nothing really happened (I mean sure stuff happened, but it just felt like less than the previous comics in this series).

Summary:

The time has finally come. It's time to learn why Darcy Lewis ran away, winding up as The Scarlet Witch's shopkeeper. Sure, that sounds like a fun (if dangerous) job, but that can't be the real reason why Darcy is here. As it turns out – there's a hunt happening, with Darcy as the prey.

My Review:

Huh. I knew that whatever was chasing Darcy Lewis (she had to be running from something, right?) would be big, but this was not what I expected. On the bright side, that proves that Scarlet Witch #4 worked hard to keep readers on their toes.

This is very much the issue that readers have been waiting for – and maybe not for the reason you think. This is the grudge match of the century; I'm not sure that both characters know it yet. In other words, this was a fascinating fight to watch, and it is far from over.

There are some curious implications in this issue, such as the history of the Bacchae, how it connects to Darcy, and what will happen next. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about that, but it didn't diminish my enjoyment of the issue.

Highlights:
Darcy Lewis Plot
Scythia Cameo
Bacchae (Secret Society)
Grudge Match
