If you aren't already reading this new era of Scarlet Witch, you owe it to yourself to change that. Read Full Review

The Last Door continues to be a fun idea, but the conflict at the center of the main story is more than interesting enough to carry itself without the narrative gimmick. Families get hopelessly complicated in the Marvel Universe, and Wandas family is one of the more complicated by far. Orlando manages to deliver a fun adventure that also provides a remarkably intimate look into the psyche of a casually dark practitioner of magic. Read Full Review

Wanda Maximoff's magical return to the realms of heroism continues as the second issue of 'Scarlet Witch' doesn't lose a beat following that fantastic debut issue, continuing to redefine the character and showcase a deep love for the Marvel Universe as a whole. Simply a delight from start to finish, colorful and gorgeous work that propels the character to the heights she deserves. Read Full Review

Pichelli delivers stunning imagery throughout the issue. The visual style is perfect for the tone of the story and its characters and enhances the world of the Scarlet Witch beautifully. Read Full Review

SCARLET WITCH #2 continues to re-establish Wanda as a fully realized character in her own right, jettisoning much of her difficult history. The way Wanda defeats Dreamscape is representative of that. The issue also shows off how individual stories with random people coming through the Last Door can further inform Wanda. Orlando can use these one-off plots to reveal nuances about Wandas character via how she responds to those shes helping. This is another very successful issue in a fledgling and compelling new series. Read Full Review

Wanda's solo series continues to explore her connections to the Marvel Universe. Read Full Review

Steve Orlando serves up a solid issue, stacked with character development, while Sara Pichellis work here elevates the story. This issue might not have landed as deftly as it did with an artist not of Saras caliber. The teams creating an atmosphere thats rich, and full of intrigue, as they give Wanda this new role in the greater universe. Hopefully well see some action in the coming issues, as thats been missing with these first two issues. We also get a Scarlet Witch and Storm team up by Stephanie Williams and Chris Allen thats bound to impress old and new fans of these two very formidable women. Read Full Review

For as enjoyable as the first issue was Steve Orlando and Sara Pichelli improve on it in every way with Scarlet Witch #2. Continuing the storytelling in a one-shot style with the overarching narrative of how Wanda Maximoff is reestablishing her life has been a great choice. Not only that but we are treated to an additional Scarlet Witch and Storm team-up story by Stephanie Williams and Chris Allen that was a great surprise. It all comes together that after two issues Scarlet Witch is already one of the best comic books Marvel is currently publishing. Read Full Review

Scarlet Witch #3 is out next month and looks to begin something of an arc for the series. I'm all for it, but I hope the creative team does not lose sight of how well the current structure is working. Read Full Review

The backup story involving Storm isn't bad at all but I'm not a fan of backup stories in general. I'd rather see the page/price go to the actual book itself but Marvel is doing a lot of stuff with backup stories these days again and it's just not my thing. The main book works quite well as Orlando really nails the pacing for it while Pichelli's designs are strong throughout in capturing the mood and atmosphere. It's not a big swashbuckling action work but it has some great big moments and delivers on them really well through the overall design. I'm curious to see where things will go with Darcy but that's already feeling like it's too big of a story compared to the smaller things we're dealing with so far. I'm hopeful that Orlando can navigate all of this well enough. Read Full Review

This fun new series delivers a solid, enjoyable second issue that keeps things going in a clear and entertaining way. Read Full Review

When your biggest complaint is that the first issue was great and this one is only very good, you've still got an entertaining read on your hands. Read Full Review

Oh, I loved it.

This comic continues to be an unexpected pleasure

Scarlet Witch #2 by Steve Orlando is a worthy follow-up to the first issue, continuing Wanda's journey in helping others when they have been met with their lowest emotions. I do enjoy the Darcy and Wanda pairing, and the mystery as to why Darcy ended up walking through the red door in the first place. This issue focuses heavily on grief, as the Scarlet Witch helps Viv Vision get rid of her nightmares involving her dead mother. The story does a fantastic job of portraying the emotions felt by Wana in her battle with DreamQueen. The works of Sara Pichelli and Chris Allen once again did not disappoint and I look forward to seeing what more they do with Wanda's story and design.

This series stays firmly on its rails for its second issue, and that's all to the good. Viv's nightmare problem makes a nicely-portioned one-shot plot. Some solid character insights for Wanda and especially Viv deliver satisfying depth, and the art continues to be a big boost.

It's better than the previous one but It's headed in predictable territory. I'm enjoying Sara Pichelli art which elevates this but as she falls behind (old back injury) other artists like chris Allen fill in but they can't match her style.

Improvement overall.

This isn't very good. It's bland. That's a step up for Steve Orlando's usual output, but it's still a bore to read.
