    Scarlet Witch is easily the most consistent book in Marvel's arsenal managing to deliver a top-notch story that subverts expectations in all the right ways. Read Full Review

    This is an absolutely charming issue. The plot elements are secondary (and feel somewhat insubstantial) compared to the interaction between Loki and Wanda. SCARLET WITCH #8 showcases the series strength in character exploration. It is an outstanding issue and wonderful for new readers to check out. Read Full Review

    Chaos and mischief swirl together as ‘Scarlet Witch' #8 spins a web of a potentially twisted love story, digging deep into the people behind the literal and figurative masks. Another compelling colorful entry in this series that is among the top titles that are being published by Marvel currently. Wanda fans are living the good life right now. Read Full Review

    Tammetta and Pichelli deliver fantastic art throughout the issue. The visuals are filled with great action and thrills as well as some tender moments with the characters, especially the moments between Wanda and Loki. Read Full Review

    The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge Sep 20, 2023

    While the artwork takes a minor hit at times because there aren't a lot of backgrounds in Jotunheim, it's at least nicely creative as Loki and Wanda spar with words as it's presented like a dance for the two to engage in. And that leans into a good look that's at least balanced by the other areas where we do get some action or some more traditional pages. I like the look of the book but it's not trying to be a conventional action-oriented Marvel comic, which is in its favor. Each issue continues to be like it's own vignette and that comes through both with the story and artwork for it all. There's a good What If? story that can come from this in exploring what this pairing would be like but I'm glad it's presented as it is here and kept as a one-off thing in terms of potential as part of the verbal fight.

    Comic Watch - B. Radtz Sep 7, 2023

    Another solid issue with regards to Wandas character, but we are still plagued with a lack of action. Sure, it was a tad brilliant to have two titans of magic literally dance together, but Id love to see what Steve and Lorenzo would have cooked up between the two. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Sep 7, 2023

    Even with Scarlet Witch #8 being the weakest issue of Steve Orlando's run there is still a lot of solid character work with Wanda Maximoff's character. For fans that wanted to be sold on a possible romance between Scarlet Witch and Loki that is certainly here for you. The ending further lifts the overall story with the promise it has for the immediate future of this series. Read Full Review
