This was a fun alternate universe comic in which our favorite Marvel magic users all congregate at a magic school run by the Harkness family. It was fun to see them all interacting together and the similarities and differences between the characters we know. I appreciated the nods to Wanda's Roma heritage as well as Loki being nonbinary! The art style was a little more manga than I usually read, which was a fun change. It was definitely fun to read about Wanda and Agatha as academic rivals, but I wish it had gone into a little more depth about the different kinds of magic everyone uses and the ending was a little abrupt, but I enjoyed it.
High school AU with Wanda, Agatha, Loki, Strange, etc?? GIMME. This was just plain fun and really cute. I loved getting to see Wanda in a happier timeline haha.
I did wish there was more Pietro, but I get why he wasn’t physically there since it’s supposed to be a magic school lol.
Anyways! Had great fun reading this and I think kids will enjoy it too:)
Cute and fun, but... I don't have a problem with high school AUs in principle, but the characters need to feel more like the original versions than they do here. This is less an issue with Wanda and more the characters around her, most of whom have no purpose in this book but to be her followers. Seeing Nightmare, of all flipping characters, jump to her aid is kind of nuts.
ADORABLE!!! I read this way back when it was an online only comic so I was overjoyed when it finally got a physical run of all the issues together 🥹
A great little AU that showcased one of my favourite dynamics: wanda & Agatha 💖 and has STUNNING art work!! Plus some great cameos from other magic users
This was great! Really beautiful illustrations with a very manga feel. And the story was solid. I'd definitely watch this TV show if it was ever made. Enemies to...frenemies? Definitely worth watching.
This was really fun! I love Scarlet Witch and Agatha Harkness, so this story about them as teenagers was a must-read! I loved the art style, it was gorgeous, and the story was solid. I would love more stories in this universe!
