Not sure how I feel about the Youthful Agatha flashback design for MIDNIGHT SUNS. As others have mentioned, she looks a bit more like an Eternal than a Witch (maybe she inspired the Eternals fashions!?), but also NO BROOCH! Unless maybe this will give us the origin of the brooch...
There's not much to make this redesign by Luigi Zagaria recognizable as Agatha Harkness vs it being a new character...

I always here The Nanny theme tune playing in my head whenever I come across Harkness in comic or tv even before I start thinking about her being a witch. So The Nanny, the First of Her Name is a good title

After I watched Wandavision I did so much research on Agatha. I was so surprised to learn she was Franklin Richards nanny and Wanda's magical teacher in the comics. That's pretty cool. I wonder if she ever ran into Illyana and her dimension of limbo before?

I've been stanning Agatha since Evolution. I think it was the first time I ever watched an elderly witch train an unstable teen witch to master her incredible powers. Completely ate that dynamic UP. Of course, the 00's were a rough decade for Wanda and Agatha felt the repercussions pretty immediately. Never really expected this level of surge in popularity both for her and Wanda.
I don't mind the younger Hahn-inspired look if it's something her older self can transform into and out of with the brooch like Melisandre did with her necklace on Game of Thrones. She could switch on young, smexy mode when she needs to do battle and then turn back to her old form when she's done.

Amora and Illyana in a comic together? I must read this. This looks like a magical trial, is Carol Danvers magic?
Anyway back to Agatha, I heard she was dead, so did she come back here for this court? Is that her ghost or did she magically revive herself? So many Agatha questions I have.
That would be Agatha presiding over the magical tribunal for Carol Danvers in CAPTAIN MARVEL #39. Carol's crime? Causing the death of Ove, the son of Enchantress (and another Marvel character that I won't spoil in case you go back and read the story) from a future timeline, in a previous storyline in the CAPTAIN MARVEL title.
I am unsure what Agatha's living/dead/whatever status is currently. She was seen in ghostly astral form in the SCARLET WITCH series by James Robinson et al. after her supposed death back when the Scarlet Witch went bonkers and caused HOUSE OF M alternate reality...but she got better, as they say...

Agatha was restored to life at the end of the Scarlet Witch series. No more being Casper the Friendly Ghost for her!
(Besides everyone knows that Vision and the Scarlet Witch are the Marvel equivalents of Casper and Wendy.)
It was about time a Thread to Agatha Happen, Thanks Thirteen for being the one to finally make it a Reality!
Indeed, with the MCU push recently & After hearing at CT Terrificon 2022 from Marvel Editor in Chief CB Cebulski about the push they seem to want to be giving the Agatha in the comics, it only makes sense to give her a Spotlight Appreciation Thread like this for the Times her Character lives in now and well-earned ones I have to say finally!
Good on Agatha for Finally Achieving a Bigger & Well-Earned place in the sun & rising in Marvel Comics, she was always important, just now more of a majority of the world realizes it!

Agatha Knows how to make in introduction, they knew what they where doing with her debut. She commands respect just by her presence & presentation alone, someone who has seem so much & knows so much she can give runarounds to Reed himself!
I knew you would not fail to share you well wise history Iron Maiden, Thank , I am glad you like the thread and as you said it was long overdue, this will be fun indeed!
I can only imagine thinking about it, FF #94 was likely always a pricey comic but after WandaVision & now Agatha’s rise with her debut how much it might have gone up thanks to her alone, it pretty cool if so. ;-)
