Honestly, more of a 2.5, or even a 3. But, I just hate everything that has been done to Scarlet Witch in the last 20 years, and everything she now represents. So, I'm incapable of giving this book more than 2 stars.
This issue was less objectionable. Wanda and Daredevil teamed up to fight a demon in the subway. ... That was kind of the whole plot. There were possessed New Yorkers, but there was nothing smarter about the plot. There was no Doctor Who, "Reverse the polarity!" moment. And how can there be, with what Wanda has become? She has no true, consistent limits. Her powers are now just random, reality-warping magic, and in recent years she has acted as if death can't hold her back. What challenge could she possibly face that brings any true suspense to the narrative?
Daredevil's presence was welcome, just because I like Daredevil. He actually contributed very little to the plot. He was just there to look pretty.
I won't do my usual rants about how Scarlet Witch has no relationship with Speed or Wiccan because they're veritable strangers. I won't do my usual whining about how I want the status quo restored where Wanda and Pietro are Magneto's biological children. None of those familial storylines came up at all in this comic, which is a big part of why this issue is less objectionable.

A good team up issue with the Devil of Hells Kitchen. This team up seems like a good idea but they are two different heroes in my opinion. A street level hero and a magic user that deals with Eldertich beings on a regular basis. It was fun but the chemistry didn’t fit all the way besides the demonic costume motifs.
However, I felt it was a good teaser to flesh out the influence the big bad has and how Wanda will probably deal with the disciplines or smaller incidents sprouting up due the big bad before facing them. Shows the stakes and influence the antagonist has.
Final thing, a good touch to bring Daredevils personal Catholic beliefs in and shown. It’s not a fare fetch idea that he knows to do exorcisms.

Scarlet Witch, Daredevil and a visit from Agatha Harkness - lots to enjoy in this issue.

Not as interesting as the other issues in this series, but I liked the banter between Wanda and Daredevil. Wish there was more to that!
