This is a really great start and I’m interested to see where they take the series in the future.

Hell of a start to a new run. Three things
1) I think my favorite sub-genre of superhero story is "setting up a mundane front with some allies from the neighborhood to help solve small scale, local problems that accidentally blossom into something bigger" it's just come up enough times in my favorite runs that I have to clock it as a pattern. (Constantine's whole bit, Jed MacKay's current Moon Knight run, This)
2) I'm kissing the artist on the mouth Wanda and Pietro both look so fucking good.
3) Polaris being acknowledged as sister makes my heart warm

what an amazing start
I am so excited to get a new scarlet witch series. I know it's only like three books but the twist of her opening a shop with a portal to people who need her most! I love the accepting fully herself and her post and using it to fuel her chaos magic. What a great story! I can't wait for more!

Ahhhh! Yes! Scarlet Witch has always been one of my favorite comic series, and I've been missing it in recent years. So you can imagine my joy at the release of Scarlet Witch #1. Written by Steve Orlando, this issue has a ton of artists backing it up: Sara Pichelli, Elisabetta D'Amico, Matthew Wilson, and VC's Cory Petit. I want to thank each and every one of them for bringing my favorite character back to her own solo series.
This issue starts with a moment of intrigue – what is Wanda up to, and where will it lead? From there, we're quickly thrown into the action, almost literally. The pace keeps up from there, with a few surprising cameos along for the ride.
There are two core plots of Scarlet Witch #1. The first is the overarching project Wanda is working on; the second is related to this but still distinct. The latter plot reminded me a lot of the Purple Man, but with a few unique twists. It was almost nostalgic, and I love how it was handled (including how Wanda handled it).
I've been looking forward to this series for weeks, and Scarlet Witch #1 proves it was worth the wait! Now to kill some time before the next issue drops...
