The story really is all over the place in this series, and it's hard to track. I honestly don't know why I'm still reading it.
There's plenty of action but so much of it is a mess to me.
Artwork is clear, sure, but kinda terrible.
Not feeling it at all, I really need to drop it.

Very, very good issue! Was not expecting that betrayal.

It's probably bad that I'm rooting for Hexfinder, isn't it?
I'm only hate-reading this book. I despise Wanda. Or, more accurately, I despise what has been done to her within the past 15 years. I didn't mind so much Avengers: Disassembled. I don't think it's that awful for a character to go evil for a little bit. People get possessed all the time, after all. No, what I mind is the re-write of Wanda's origin and power set. Making her no longer Magneto's daughter? No. Won't accept that. Making her powers no longer mutant? That's just poor writing. She spends all this time talking about actual magic spells, when it is not at all clear when she would have studied any of them.
I hate that Wanda is now overpowered to the degree that she casually kills herself, figuring that of course she'll also be able to resurrect herself. I hate that Wanda now talks casually about magic as if she has been studying it her whole life, when for the vast majority of her character's history, she was a mutant with very little magical knowledge.
I hate that this title has an overpowered Wanda winning every fight, and performing every tiny chore, with effortless magic. She not only has all this power-- we're supposed to think that she also has wisdom, and for some reason SHE should be the one to mediate disputes between warring alien species.
Why? I'm not even entirely sure that she has any sort of college degree. Education and training isn't just for her benefit; it's so that the people she is mediating between can actually respect her authority.
Why is Wanda giving parenting advice in this issue? She never raised any of her children. She raised infant versions of Billy and Tommy only briefly. She knows nothing that comes after the diaper stage. So far as I know she has never MET Nocturne, who visited from one alternate reality and is now off to another. And a few issues ago she referred to teenage-appearing Viv Vision as her "daughter," when it would be more accurate to call her Wanda's niece/stepdaughter. ... Whom she also did not raise.
Every decision Wanda makes is so wise, though. After all, she made the brilliant decision to hook up Ganymede --last member of a warrior sisterhood-- with a different group of warrior women.
Stunning stuff.
I want this title gone and I want Wanda dead.

To have hope you must first believe there could be change. Without that Joseph had nothing. Now how will the battle with Hexfinder go? In short I have hope Wanda will succeed.

I liked the montage of Wanda's witchy tasks, but given the end of the issue, they took up way too much time and page space. REDACTED's heel-turn felt totally out of left field after the rest of the issue (and the last couple of issues). But: my boyfriend Man-Thing made an appearance!
