I got the prior 4 issue mini but not this 12 issue one so glad you covered it.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I think the Wonder Man engrams, 'why is Grim reaper pissed', 'can you love a synthezoid' stuff is great fodder for romantic subplots.
I like the Scarlet Witch a lot and feel she has been put through the wringer in the last 30 years or so, always going dark or insane. So hope this more stable family life feel sticks throughout the mini. She deserves some happiness.
Agree totally on the current state of the Witch, and the attempts (and need) to constantly rehabilitate her. Fingers crossed that she can work it all out. Eventually.
