Well, I didn't liked it as much as I thought.

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.

I thought this was a fun look into the beginning of Wanda ad Vision’s marriage and a reminder of why they’re my favorite couple in the Marvel Universe.

I haven’t read many older style comic books, and I think this is one of of the worst introductions I could have had to them. The plot for this was almost nonexistent. There isn’t even a point for this really to exist. The only issue that was worth reading was issue #4 which dealt with the complicated family dynamics between Wanda, Pietro, & Erik (Magneto). I love reading about those three (no matter how toxic they are), so I really enjoyed my time spent with that.


But everything else was almost unreadable. I could barely get through issue #2 and I slogged my way through the other two. The sexism, the narration, Vison. I just could not stand a single bit of any of this.

I never quite know what I’m going to get diving back into these comics. I actually really enjoyed this one. I’m going to skip past the story when they actually marry because it is largely centred around another couple; Mantis and... the tree. I’m not sure what happened there but moving on! I really liked how this developed The Vision and the Scarlet Witch’s relationship and added some emotional depth to both. It was more of a family occassion this one (*giggles* if you’ve read it you know what I’m talking about) but that grounded the stories. I loved the interruption to settling in to their new home and Jarvis casually rocking up to help them settle in!

This does a good of capturing the weird vibe that is the Vision and Scarlet Witch.

We discussed this further on a special episode of Howe's Things:

This was the first comic I read, and I decided to read it after starting WandaVision because I wanted to find out a little bit more about them from the comics. I liked getting to know the comic characters and seeing the differences between them and what I knew from the MCU. This comic was not bad, but not my favorite either, but a pretty good Scarlet Witch and Vision comic.

Very cute and very nostalgic. Although, it's definitely dated, which affected my reading joy a little bit.
