Scarlet Witch #1 Spoilers and Review.
Wanda Maximoff aka the Scarlet Witch owns a bookstore named Emporium.
Her friend Darcy Lewis, who is essentially a business incubator, is waiting for her.
Wanda’s twin brother Pietro Maximoff aka Quicksilver visits them.
During this visit she reveals to Pietro, Darcy and readers something she created called the Last Door.
The Last Door attracts people in dire straits, with nowhere to turn, and guides them to Emporium.
Sure enough, the first visitor is someone from Italy.
She is desperate need of help.
To liberate her town from someone called the Corruptor that she is the only one who has not fallen under his influence.
It would appear that her “worry stone” necklace from her father was the bauble that has enabled her mind to stay clear and free.
The intervening pages show the Scarlet Witch being tested by the Corruptor, showing her the good and bad of her past, that she accepts and, doesn’t reallt need to overcome, to defeat him.
Back at Emporium after the adventure, Wanda and Darcy are about to leave, but hear something.
Looks like Viv Vision has come through the Last Door.
Wanda considers her like a daughter and she needs her help.
The book ends with concept art for the Scarlet Witch’s new costume.
The Pulse.
A decent opening salvo that gets readers caught up on who the Scarlet Witch is as well as her new status quo. Big draw was Darcy Lewis’ debut. Art was solid as well. An entertaining first foray from this new series. 7 out of 10.
