"HERO of The HOPELESS!" The Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff Appreciation 2023!

The most short-lived costume ever with only a few seconds of screen time.

Too true which is a shame

Too true which is a shame

Don't know if it was true but it looks like this suit was about to make a return in MoM but obviously that didn't happen.




As for the suit itself. Well there is certainly some things to like about it but I think those are the things Olsen complained about. She is an attractive person and so is Wanda canonically but the outfit emphasizes that a little bit too much. Especially when compared to everyone else. I honestly would have no problem with it. It's not like she is in need of body armor like some other character but it's clear why others could take issue with it. Also think the gloves and the waist area would be in serious need of some streamlining. It's like with the WandaVision suit which was great but still had some elements that were honestly unnecessary.

Wanda and Rachel hanging out means one step closer to my dream Avengers team being real

This is sad to hear, the Scarlet Witch solo has been surprisingly one of my favorite new books released in a while and to hear it struggling is really heartbreaking to hear. Hopefully more people buy it so we can get more issues of this wonderful piece of work

This is why I never put too much stock in those sales estimates online. We don't know how much anything is selling because there's no reporting of comic book store sales any more.

I hope he's exaggerating to get people to run out and buy the thing, but I hope it lasts as long as her first ongoing. It's a tough time for anything that isn't a mini and if it makes it to 15 it will at least validate the decision to make it an ongoing.

I kind of expect to see a Magneto appearance or something if they need to pep up sales.

This is so true. Publishing has been broken up so much for comics that now it's difficult to know what's going on.

It would sick if it did get canned before issue 10, but the Market is flodded at the moment and it is hard for new books to stand out

[Galerion]

I think you people really read a bit much into it. There is a reason he says the entire industry is struggling. This is nothing specific to Scarlet Witch itself which is still a topseller in relation to many others.

Two scenarios.

1. Comic X sells 100.000 units
   Comic Y sells 25.000 units
2. Comic X sells 12 units
   Comic Y sells 4 units

In both scenarios the comics have the same relation to each other but obviously the second scenario is a nightmare. That's the only thing the data we have shows. Don't get it twisted. We don't know how much Amazing Spider-Man sells and if you apparently ask any fan it should be 0.

I know many of you have apparently not watched after I linked it but here a recent interview with Steve Orlando where he confirms that sales have risen with every issue. Something which we have seen and which is not normal in the industry.

TL;DR - Just chill

[Cruelrain]

Might sound mean but tbh i feel like him not doing very good stories for some issues, like the one where Lorna shows up, for me it was so boring and it was just pretty covers.

I feel like if you have an ongoing you have to come up with some good arc, bring known villains and characters so you can hype the audience and bring new readers, idk what he expect by bringing unknown and not magic related C-list villains.

Like i said you never know how an ongoing would last, so use the big guns in you stories, i was one of those Wanda fans that feel disappointed for not having any explosions or anything after darkhold omega, i bet some other writer would jave done something interesting with having Chthon in control and absorbing the darkhold, especially when in your own book it is stated that she ate the guy and took his powers for herself.

[MaximoffTrash]

I at the very least kinda wish to see flashbacks about Pre-Darkhold Alpha preparation phases for Wanda, also I think it would be cool if Wanda is visited by Chthon in her dreams.
While he is mostly powerless he can still "enter chat" when Wanda is asleep or something, and Chthon will still function as the keeper of knowledge or something, and Wanda will have to navigate through him to gain useful information without showing weakness that can be exploited by Chthon. They can have one of those intense passive-aggresive board game or just chess while having conversation lol.
I generally just think direct interaction between them is kinda overdue.

The problem with story arcs is that you never know when your book could end so it might not be resolved, but while Orlando ahs been doing a good job it could be better, especially with the ongoing arcs. Darcy didn't care about and the main arc is about anti magic metal which isn't an exciting mystery and it has so far just been an inconvenience for Wanda.

I felt it was mildly cute, but in no way had the kind of drama and conflict that the issue needed.

Magneto is dead (for the time being at least). There were huge spoon-fed emotional issues and conflict points for them to hash out which were totally ignored for a mildly fun, but totally forgettable romp.
