Scarlet Witch 1 blends Wanda's many worlds in a magical debut. Read our full review here:
Scarlet Witch #1 is a classy and clever new chapter in the history of one of Marvel's most distinct superheroines. The first issue, which arrives today, follows Wanda's efforts to cement a new status quo for herself, as she opens up a witchcraft shop aiming to aid anyone with supernatural problems. While helping a woman with ties to a magical town, Wanda is taken down a rabbit hole that forces her to examine her past, present, and future.
While Wanda has remained a mainstay of the Avengers and an occasional antagonist for the entire Marvel universe, her rise to notoriety has been a unique one, largely fueled by her blockbuster live-action appearances in WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. A new Scarlet Witch series could have approached that household name status in a manifold number of ways, either leaning so far into it that it loses Wanda's previous comic book foundation, or ignoring it entirely.
Despite these echoes of Wanda's live-action success, Scarlet Witch #1 could not be more fully entrenched in the Marvel universe if it tried – it opens with a fight with a Namor villain who hasn't appeared in the comics for decades, it continues to deal with the ramifications of House of M, and it finally establishes a long-awaited connection between Wanda and the Vision family.
Sara Pichelli's style could not be better suited to the art of Scarlet Witch, as her aesthetic approach and panel construction are mesmerizing to watch. It's especially delightful seeing Pichelli's rendering of Wanda's new Russell Dauterman-designed costume, which proves to be both practical and ethereal.
From the second this Scarlet Witch series was first announced, it was clear that it would be something distinct – not only Wanda's first solo book in nearly a decade, but the first title to reckon with how she has been interpreted on the big screen. The team of Steve Orlando, Sara Pichelli, and company take that task and have fun with it, crafting a timeless and spellbinding look at Wanda's new status quo.
