Okay first page in and I screamed IT'S THEEEE COMIC
that's so exciting
So we're in Manhattan
Green eyes Wanda🥰
She tells us she always know , no powers involved, when Pietro is coming to see her AND I'M VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT LOOK AT THE SIBLING REUNION THE HUG😭😭😭
"Well, not to sound overly smug or sarcastic, but Id say that was obvious. yoga. It's how I greet the day-- for the last couple of years anyway.
Yes, and I'm sure that's wonderful for lazy housewives with too much time on their hands , but you're an avenger. You're needed-- we all are.
Lazy housewives? What year is this? 1952?
Anyway, it helps me relax me, helps me rein in my darker thoughts... Which you know is a good thing. I'd recommend you take it up, if you'd ever stand still long enough. As to me being an avenger-- not so much. Not lately, anyway." If Wanda can use anyway 3 times in one dialogue I can too am I right? But truly I'm loving her mindfulness journey, therapy , yoga and everything... I love it so much for her she need it and it suits her. And here we learn about the civil war between tony and carol , Wanda only knew about the one with Steve and Tony so there's something there... Also, wasn't Wanda going to her people in the last issue? Hm
AAAAAWWWW SMOL WANDA AND PIETRO MOMENT AS KIDS 😭😭😭😭😭
""Slow to grasp"? You arrogant ass! I swear, sometimes, Pietro--
Yes? Sometimes what?
The way you talk to me-- if you weren't my brother I'd kick you off the balcony. I've let you treat me like an idiot for too long now. There was a time I was shy and young, sure. I was nervous of my powers-- our powers-' and how we'd fare in the world. But that was long ago. I'm a woman now. All grown up. And more that capable of making my own decisions, thank you very much.
All right,Nye's. You're right, of course. I forget sometimes... I... You will always be my little sister.
By space of thirteen minutes. And that doesn't give you the excuse to treat me like I have a learning deficiency."
And Wanda trust me he's the only one comfortable enough who would dare to disrespect you in their right mind, I loved that she called him out. Why can't men just leave women make their decisions and mind their fucking business- I'll never understand the idiocy, if anyone is the one needing επίβλεψη λμαο-
I'm halfway through and I know this one is going to be exquisite
"Again, you're right. I'm rude by nature... I know it.
Know it? You delight in it."
And then Pietro proceeds to explain to Wanda what's up with the civil war as we, the readers, don't know either. The conflict is indeed very civil-war-esque with a good ethics question.
"And what side are you on, brother?" LOOK AT THAT PANEL
"It's my birthright. My heritage-- ours Pietro, from our mother, if you'd just listen--
Later. All that can wait until later. Now, just trust me, I'm right and my point of view--
Is wrong." And Wanda slightly moves out of the panel, breaking the barriers if you will
"What'll take it for you to follow me? More blood spilled? Is that it?
"Blindly." You forgot to add that word. "Follow you blindly," in your preferred world without seeds or prophets. Haven't I been doing that already? Isn't that what I've done our whole lives?"
"No, if this is a "war," as you say... Then consider me Switzerland."
"Pietro , I love you, you know that... But I'm through being your "easy out." I'm still not right from all that happened before, do you realize that? I'm troubled ... In my head. Sometimes I cry for no reason. Sometimes I sleep all day. And a lot of the reason comes down to things you encouraged me to do. Amd it's me who ended up paying for them."
"As lond as I can remember, I've known that you needed guidance. I mean, I look at your romantic life-- the one place I couldn't get involved to tell you who to love.
You had a good try, though.
You married the vision.
What about him?
"him"? "He" is a machine. You might as well have we'd a microwave oven.
Ah, here's the Pietro I know and detest. Cruel, spiteful, judgemental.
And here's the Wanda I know, too. I see it in your eyes-- flickering and uncertain. Chasing phantoms--"
"Magneto and Magda lensher. Django and Marya maximoff. The whizzer and miss America. Does it even matter who our parents are anymore? In the end, we are what we've made ourselves to be.
I'm disappointed. I expected more from you."
"You know... I miss the girl you used to be. The meek little follower.
Well, she's gone and never coming back. And if you're so sorry to see me, then you should go, too. Go one!
When I'm ready. I was never as good at following directions as you were.
This is my home... Get out!" 🎶he had it coooooming he had it coming🎶
"Can't breathe... Pietro... Brother, plea-- no! I don't want your mercy! I don't need it!"
"Now. You can leave of your own volition... Or I can throw you off the balcony, like I said I would earlier.
I'm sorry, Wanda.
For what? Almost killing me just now? Or for everything you've ever done to me?
I wasn't-- I would never really hurt you--
Oh, then I guess it's okay. And you say you're sorry? I'm sure you are... In the moment. But another moment passes and you're back to your old arrogant ways. You know what that kind of persistent behaviour is a sign of? Do you? I do. Believe me, I've researched the state of your mental health as well as mine. You're a sociopath. And I realize now... You're not good for me. And ... I ... Never want to see you again."
And then it's theee panel, it is indeed very pretty but if I knew the story that comes before it I wouldn't use it as much, because she is in pain after sending off her brother and while it's logical she really shouldn't feel bad for him, she did exactly what was best and there shouldn't be regrets, it's rather powerful to find the strength to let go of the people that abuse you and if they won't on their own then yes you might as well kick them at of your life as they deserve.
The issue was fantastic, we dive in her relationship with her brother and what role he played in the problems she's facing and the art was impeccable, wanda looked magnificent as my girl deserves.
that's so exciting

This is how you do a tie in issue!!!!

It sparked my curiosity to learn more about the II Civil War of Marvel, but this issue feel weird with Wanda and Pietro fighting like that; maybe because I am comparing them to the MCU version of nice and close siblings.
But I am glad that Wanda fought his brother and didnt let him have power over her just because he is a few minutes older
Also I totally agree with team Carol, you shouldnt have the power to control people future and punish them for something that hasnt happened yet. Maybe this issue leads to a reading of the II Civil War Event

the civil war ii event sucks, but at least it gave us this great moment between the siblings.

You go, girl ✊💕

May 29, 2024I don't normally review single issues, but I'm here to say that there's a bunch in this issue that does not jive with the previous set up of this run and it annoys me.

En este tomo Wanda is so hot.
Material de info de la guerra civil 2 pero, todo en segundo plano por una increíble aparición de Pietro para darnos un momento de hermandad disfuncional digna.

Well good for Wanda. Put him in his place

This is the tie in to the new civil war Marvel Event, not the film, this is between Captain Marvel and Iron Man. I haven't read any of it, but you don't need to for this story, between Scarlet Witch and her brother Pietro ( he hasn't died in the comics). This is well written and well drawn, not much action, but it's a riveting read, this series is amazing, well worth checking out......
September 2, 2016
this is a nice twist ! a civil war issue! and it gets deeper in Wanda's emotions. sometime , if a person is toxic to you, you need to stay away a little bit. no matter if it's family or friends. but I would like that Wanda won't take part on the civil war. her storyline is too great now!!!
June 13, 2023
This felt a little like a waste of an issue since it's really just a continuation of Civil War II and not really about Wanda's journey. But again, I'm a sucker for Wanda protecting her mental health.
August 6, 2018
Wow. For a comic that I don't actually read, this was one of the better Civil War II side stories so far. Maybe I decided to quit Scarlet Witch too quickly. May have to go back and try again...
