Great artwork, fun concept (Scarlet Witch vs Emerald Warlock), but damn was the action dull. What do these writers think people pay for?

"... Although I question whether this is a vision, an illusion meant to challenge my fragile sanity." Is this a sick and twisted vision pun? Cause yes the whole withing with him does challenge her sanity lol
OOOHH it's mother!! "I'm Natalya maximoff."
"Be careful, wonder, time is a vague thing on the witches road. If it's your mother from an earlier era, foreknowledge given here might change events in the future. and if she's a ghost, shocking her with the truth unknown will bring harm to her. Treat her as a stranger."
"I don't know why I'm here... Certainly no idea why you are... But I know I have to protect you from something. I threat you won't be able to defeat yourself. Although even that I don't completely understand, as I can sense you're mighty witch in your own right... You know where you are, of course.
The witches road. Could plain of existence were only those such as we can tread.
Yes, but there are forks in the road... Some lead to light and others the darkness.
Natalya, does the world know about you? I've never heard of another scarlet witch before.
I'm surprised at the question-- you're Roma, like I am, so you know how distrusted we are. as witches too, we're double feared. Are you upgrade from the shadows. Oh, there are some who know me-- Ulysses bloodstone and his colleague the eternal makkari-- but to most of Europe, where I operate, I'm a myth... A whisper. Why do I have such feelings towards you, Wanda... Such intense feelings?"
"Oh, Agatha-- that was my mother-- I... I wanted to speak...
Natalya's spirit is eternal. [...]
She called herself the scarlet witch...
Did you think you were the first?
Honestly, I never thought about it. It came into my head fully formed-- the moment I realize my power is I knew... I was the scarlet witch.
I was the case with your mother, and her mother before her. But now you have a task at hand, so keep that in mind.
Yes, Agatha, you're right, of course... You mean bitch.
I love you too, my dear." But last one was unnecessary uncomfortable weird but we're getting a backstory here
"Well, the briars of the path are certainly changing to something a male's energy you craft-" the emerald warlock's back at it
"But the country had no part in your exile, it was the wizards.
It was all of it! There, now. Y'went n'made me angry. I don't like showing that side o'me. [...] Aye, Ive asked myself the same thing. I suppose it's that I'm a bit taken with ye, Wanda. Her so powerful and yet so flawed n'broken too. I suppose I wanted to see what you're capable of.
Fine! So why are you trying to kill me!
'cuz you're good and I'm bad. Simple as Shakespeare."
"Yes... *Cough* you're right... The cost of using my powers.. my destiny is to die young... But not today." WHAT A MOMENT!! chills
"As I recall the legend of carman, you're actually greek, but I'll let that one slide. The thing is... as we've talked-- or you talked... We've also both walked a good way. Or rather I led you. I've led you to the world of the mother goddesses--cereidwen, oya, nicneven-- I could go on, but you know the list yourself, I'm sure. It's here that I'm strong. any female witch who knows how to walk the pathways is. Whereas in this place, man-- even an immortal one like yourself-- is helpless. And it's me who has taken your power. It was all an illusion Dane." EXCELLENCE also look at her nose:)
very interesting, mainly talking and spells in this one, solid 3.75 stars from me, the cover is fitting to the story

This issue regained all the momentum lost last issue and more. The art was perfect for this story, very fairytale looking.
March 3, 2021
The art was by far the worst of the series so far enough to actually distract me from the story

I love Wanda ❤

That emerald wizard is full of himself that's for sure

I like it, with the change of style to represent the witches realm so it seems more mysterious than the normal world.
Can’t wait to see what is next

Lugesin #1-4 ja väga meeldis, äge visuaalne külg ja Punanõid on ka huvitav. Lisan ta lausa oma lemmikute sekka. Osalt ehk küll seetõttu, et tegelikult on järg nüüdseks juba #11-ni jõudnud ja ta meeldib mulle. Koomiksid on iga osa eri kunstniku poolt tehtud, nii et sellest küljest meeldib mõni rohkem, mõni vähem ja üks üldse mitte, aga ta on ilmatu inimlik (ja samas nõid). See on tore. Vahepeal ka väga ilus.

I read the first five installments of the Scarlet Witch comic book series for the 2017 BookRiot Read Harder Challenge category "Read a superhero comic with a female lead." Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. Scarlet Witch, finds herself traveling the Witches' Road in installment four. Battles are fierce, but Wanda's powers are great. In addition to the story, I enjoyed the artwork as well. My brother loaned me the five comic books I read and will undoubtedly loan me more since we had fun discussing these when I was done :)

I have mixed feelings about this series so far. On one hand I love it because I love Wanda and I love witchcraft and on the other I find it underwhelming and I'm not a huge fan of the art (but I feel like I have absolutely no right critising that because I can't draw a stick person). I just haven't been able to connect with the story. I also feel like Wanda deserves more. I love how selfless she is and that she wants to do good in the world, but she's one of the most powerful beings in the entire Marvel universe and I feel like she deserves to be doing more than what this story is allowing her to do. I'm going to continue with it because I love Wanda too much not to and it is only the fourth issue and first arc so I'm hoping things pick up soon.

Yet another very strong issue, starting where the last one finished, Wanda is traversing the witches road, where she does battle with her mother. Well written and drawn, a really good addition to a very good series indeed.....
June 12, 2023
Yeah, I'm just not into the Emerald Warlock. Everything about him is so cringy.

the graphics for this one were a let down compared to the previous styles
