I like to keep things simple in my reviews since reviewing is not my 2nd nature, so thanks for this chance it starting to get back into it.
This book overall that can best describe it, feels like a warm cup of tea or coco what you prefer drink, calling your home for comfort and support.
The main basis of the book is the set-up of Wanda’s new magical shop which I like seeing Heroes having to hold down job/businesses of their own to make a living outside of the hero persona, which is a good showing this lesson even heroes need a way to pay the bills and make a living. But what is more heartwarming is that this is not just a Business Wanda put up to make money to help live, but it fits with both her persona of who she is magic wise in Marvel and is a store made to help customs in need, from small little books and magical items to the Major focus of help;
THE LAST DOOR!
The idea of the Last Door is a powerful one, so much of our world needs help and usually & sadly has no one to turn too. Wanda making not only a sanctuary for the Hopeless, but a place to take and be heard is such a warming feeling in a world that seems at times, including the Marvel world, not to care about people’s seeming small problems compared to the bigger picture.
The book even lays this out well, with a Big Battle at the start with a ship full of wealth elites with too much time on their hand to worship some short of Cthulhu like science worship, to a Lady from Italy in search of help cause her wife & town are under direst. Wanda is a character of amazing power but is bringing it down to a more human level while still doing some of the big superhero things, it shows it in this 1st issue as a more human and personal, that is a good way to start a premise of a book that is Right their with with Wanda’s character!
This works for Wanda well and I like how Orlando executes Wanda’s persona in this venture of hers, he hits the sweet right tone with her and her desire to do this to help all people in the way her trial tested her in the past, now she wants to give hope to the hopeless.
Overall, this was a Heartwarming but empowering book in both its big but small ways that make it work, it can speak to many fans on different level personally like Wanda has spoken to many recently in her MCU projects.
A heartwarming and supportive in the right ways 1st start for our Wanda!
