The best of the House of M tie-ins. Daniel Way fleshes out the Wolverine Agent Of SHIELD story by focusing on his relations to Mystique and Nick Fury is better crafted than the core House Of M story.
I recommend this for all fans of temporary X-lore (it only takes place during House of M, and then is retconned), Mystique enthusiasts, and Wolverine-heads.

The title is a bit misleading, the main focus is Mystique and Wolverine is more like an important supporting character. She is the one who sets everything in motion and has more screen time. The story is supposed to explain Wolverine and Nick Fury's history, even if it's a made-up one that is created while trying to tie in the alternate reality Wand had created. And we get a few tie-ins of Captain America, Black Panter, and Hawkeye.

This is the best one I have read so far! If you’re watching WandaVision at the moment and want to read some of the comics then this is as good a place as any to start. Strong plot and possibly the easiest cross-over event to follow because it actually has a start, middle and end.
One of the reasons I enjoyed it so much may have been the scene transitions of the digital copy I read on Kindle! It’s the first time I’ve come across this function where it basically moves through the individual panels like a slideshow. 1) It helped me follow the story around the page without getting distracted 2) It drew my full attention to how beautiful the artwork was! You got a cropped part of the image then it expanded to the whole.
*spoilers ahead*
I love the stakes of this story and that it centres around Wanda Maximoff who is given emotional complexity and staggering power in this one rather than simply being the fun-witchy-love interest (I’m so over that from my recent comic binge). I was really hooked in by the story and had no idea how the characters were going to get out of this one. Love the idea of each character (from Avengers or X-men) having to confront their real past when enlightened to the fact they are living in an alternate reality. The moral question of what to do about Wanda as her powers take their toll on her and she starts to lose touch with reality really pushed you to see some characters in a new light. Her own resignation and acceptance to what might happen was heartbreaking. I loved this collection and will happily take recommendations for Marvel comics matching the quality of this one!
Side note: shock of my life, I even enjoyed Wolverine in this one!

It was an interesting story and I enjoyed the read. I didn't read all the extra bits at the end because I don't really want to know that much about alternate wolverine et al.

All of the best House of M tie-ins in one collection. Pick the main trade and this one up and you have all you need.

It finished on a cliffhanger... How dare it end thus!
Can never fault the mind of Wanda Maximoff... This was really interesting to read in the respect that Wanda is manipulated by those she loves when she is in her most vulnerable state, her mind is so fragile and she knows that she is losing grip of her powers.
House of M is a fun adventure and exploration of mental health, vulnerability and the lengths we'd go to give everyone the happy ending they'd wish for.

Este si es una compilación de varias historias así que hay separaciones.
La historia de Wolverine es prácticamente el pasado de esa realidad. Tenemos toda una historia de 3 capítulos en la cual nos muestra que tanto la vida de Logan había cambiado.
La historia de Capitán América es la misma casi, solo que el nunca se congeló, su vida siguió normal es como un What If bien bonito. Aunque también es trágico en algunas partes.
Black Panther es una bestia, matando a todos los soldados de Magneto y casi dándole una putiza a todos por igual...
