Review of Scarlet Witch #1
By James Robinson. Vanesa Del Rey & Jordie Belaire
Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, has gone through many variations over the decades. She debuted as an Evil Mutant, reformed as a heroine, joined the Avengers, retired from the Avengers to seek out the quiet life, returned to the Avengers, became mentally unbalanced, restructured reality, disappeared and returned to the Avengers. During that time she has been a loyal sister, devoted wife, conflicted daughter, nurturing mother and vengeful murderer. Even answering usually straightforward questions such as who her parents are gets complicated, depending on what period of her history fans are discussing. It is a bit of a minefield for any writer wade into. Yet, that is exactly what James Robinson proposes with his new ongoing series. Each installment will explore a different facet of her complex legacy.

Hit 1957 #2 Review
by Bryce Carlson and Vanesa R. Del Ray
Detectives Slater and Sticky survive a close call that almost had them explaining to IA why they had a bloody, dead body in a hotel room.
Slater is determined to deal with his business in California and get to Las Vegas to see Bonnie. The pressure gets to him, and he takes it out on Sticky and Slick Ricky.
Meanwhile, Bonnie is making the best of her situation in Las Vegas. Technically a captive, her guard Vincent allows her small windows of freedom which she uses to plan her escape to Tijuana, as long as she can live a few more days.
The story has seemingly gotten more complex in a month’s time, as I’ve had to re-familiarize myself with these characters and their goals. A character sheet or a recap page would be helpful.
The art by Del Ray is a mixed bag. Some panels look very good, with the characters possibly drawn with a charcoal/pastel combo that makes the art feel more organic. However, the bar fight scene feels very stiff and the movements don’t feel natural.
Overall: The plot thickens, with the cast facing obstacles to their perspective goals. If you don’t readily recall the details of issue #1, you may get lost. The art by Del Ray is enjoyable except for some brief rough patches.
Rating: Poor, Fair, Good, Great, Excellent.
