Scarlet Witch has absorbed the Darkhold & is holding the demon Chthon prisoner inside her soul! We have to wonder if she is strong enough to hold him at bay and we are not the only ones. Rivals are turning up trying to defeat her and take the power for their own. An unexpected visit from her former teacher leaves us wondering what Agatha’s ulterior motives are and will she be her greatest ally or greatest rival?
I love the artwork in this issue! From Scarlet Witch’s vivid reds to Agatha’s signature purples, the colors and art lend themselves to the chaotic battle between our two favorite witches. Steve Orlando has done such a fantastic job with balancing Scarlet Witch’s character, expertly honoring her history and the more recent MCU-style developments. If you haven’t already checked out his current Scarlet Witch series, go pick those up!
