Just really, really boring. And it didn’t help that all the issues were so different that it was hard to get interested.

Great collection of stories.

[AJ Easterday · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the third Marvel-Verse book I've read, and I continue to be underwhelmed by them. For a series that's meant to introduce new readers to these characters by showcasing some of their best stories, I never feel like the stories collected in these books are anywhere near that character's best. I can say that with extra confidence when it comes to the Scarlet Witch, as she's my favorite Marvel character and the character I've read the most about, and I just don't think this book does her justice. The stories are fine, but they are not essential Scarlet Witch stories. In some of the issues in this collection, Wanda isn't even the main character! I'm probably not going to pick up any more of these Marvel-Verse books in the future, with the exception of the Wolverine one because I already own it.

A fun and well-rounded reading of the Scarlet Witch's adventures!
