broomsticksandmagick's review against another edition

4.0

I will gives this book 4.0 stars for the reason that It has some interesting part in the story of the life of the scarlet witch and quicksilver in part. I love the focus of the craft as it actually puting her magic(mutant or sort) into more realistic and spiritual meaning which being a witch stands for and Wanda Maximoff have witch in her hero name. Cannot wait to continue reading more of the Scarlet witch.

Story has been fine, a bit mediocre; definitely not OMG! AMAZING. I also really, *really* hate the old style art. I was hoping the book would have more "modern" art but it looks like that will only be in the last bit of the book.

Hoped to read on FCBD this year but wasn't able to convince myself to read it all through on that day.

This was a mixed bag. I really liked a few of the issues (the style and dialogue) but most of it was meh. I really don't like the older issues where the dialogue doesn't take advantage of the fact that you definitely don't need the writing to tell you what's going on when you can very obviously see what's going on.

I've always been a fan of Scarlet Witch. She might even be my favorite female Marvel character alongside Jean Grey. This was the only graphic novel readily available to me, so I decided to give it a shot. It only succeeded in one thing, and it's to make me like Scarlet Witch a lot less than I did before.

The whole collection is a rollercoaster ride full of confusing twists and turns that didn't make sense. The collection didn't really showcase the real Scarlet Witch and her potentials. She has a huge potential but this collection put that potential to waste. She needs proper treatment, and I might just have to look elsewhere for that.

1.5/5 stars. Not the worst comic book collection out there, but it made me dislike a character that I really like. I hope I find another collection that can really showcase who Scarlet Witch is. Highly recommended to avoid this graphic novel.

I was so confused while reading it, and the only reason it even gets a 3 stars and not 2 is the last two stories that are newer, which I would've given 4 stars to individually..

Urgh the outfit choices in the earlier comics especially are really annoying, what is basically a bathing suit and a cape is absolutely the first choice a woman goes to when walking in the snow right? Just no. Also all of the stories collected here are a bit of a missmash. Definitely not a collection for anybody wanting to find out more about Scarlet Witch imo.

Sexist and racist throughout, complete with ass shots, revealing costumes, women only caring about what their husband wants. None of the stories made sense. It's generally just awful.
