Starting from here was rather odd on my part however I really wanted to read Wanda's (Scarlet witch's) arc. This is mind boggling, tragic and the start of a major event, from here to A VS X things go nuts. I loved it but it did feel rushed and short. The art is superb and really captures every shocking moment well.

As a standalone storyline, this isn't great. Sure, there is a lot of action, great art, and enough mystery to keep you reading. But in the end it feels rushed and there is no real conclusion. If you continue reading the stories after Disassembled toward House of M and Civil War, it shows the consequences of this storyline and in that perspective this is a great story. It makes it possible for future stories to be more dramatic and experimental. In that regard this is a great story: I enjoyed it just fine and it made room for future changes and improvements!

Not sure why Marvel thinks that good book has to be sad, but I liked this one, so I guess they were correct? I got this to read more about Scarlet Witch and now I have more questions than answers...

Me busqué una guía de lectura de MARVEL que me recomendaba empezar por aquí, y la verdad es que ha sido una buena manera de iniciar la lectura de los comics porque me ha gustado bastante. Se me escapan algunas cosas como mucho de los orígenes de Wanda porque entiendo que es anterior, pero la verdad es que es una buena forma de introducir a la nueva generación de Vengadores, y ahora que he empezado por fin los cómics y que me han gustado, segurísimo que voy a seguir leyéndolos más pronto que tarde.

Bendis does a good job weaving into his story threads of the Scarlet Witch's history from the past thirty years, and gives insight into her weird, staggering power as portrayed in the MCU films. He opens with one disaster after another befalling the Avengers, with the superheroes unable to figure out who is attacking them; in this respect, the story is like a mystery or thriller. A few key flashbacks, especially one with Janet Van Dyne by the pool at Avengers mansion, provide a sturdy foundation for this sprawling tale that continues in House of M.

Neat little book! It somehow seems incredibly dated, despite only being 17 years old. Iron Man calls a guy a “rat fink.” It’s still got a little bit of that 60’s vibe that clashes with the modern aesthetic and violence. But it was neat to see some of the inspirations for Wandavision.

This collection became more and more of a must read as I moved forward with my Marvel comics events, and I took a pause from Secret Invasion to look back. I knew who the antagonist was due to reading later books, but the text was still compelling and kept me entertained. There's a lot of action as well as exposition, which was an odd balance. It was a little hard to follow for someone jumping into it that didn't know a lot about the history of the Avengers--there's a lot of references to older characters that I didn't really get and it wasn't well explained. However, the collection's plot was easy enough to follow and it was a quick read.
