The artists on Scarlet Witch have consistently delivered standout artwork with every issue, and the continue that trend in Scarlet Witch #9. In this issue, we get some really great looks at Black Cat's fighting styles that really show how skilled she is outside of cat burgling. The artists also did a great job at showing the magical artifacts and their power once they're affected by Felicia and her unhinged ways. Read Full Review

Its interesting to see Black Cat pop-up a couple of times in the same month in different titles. One might suspect that shes up to something, but theres no through line connecting this particular crossover with anything that she might be doing in MacKays The Avengers.

Thankfully, next issue promises some form of resolution. Read Full Review
