    Doom Rocket - Molly Jane Kremer Sep 14, 2016

    Seamlessly sneaking in and around the issue's main mystery"of who killed the great magician Aoi (ah-oh-ee) Master"is the fox that Aoi Master's consciousness entered, after his body's death. This smaller plot is beautifully poignant, as Aoi gradually, quietly, loses himself inside the fox. Robinson masterfully weaves these tiny, almost inconsequential story beats in throughout, until we're left, at the end, with a sad, beautiful ache that a lesser writer would have avoided completely. The issue's final pages echo, like a footpad on snow, with regret and longing. This is yet another stunner of an issue in a series you need to be reading. Read Full Review

    If you haven’t been following this series, you are definitely missing out. This a huge gem from marvel and I highly suggest going to collect the back issues or trades and get caught up. Read Full Review

    Comicosity - Allen Thomas Sep 16, 2016

    While not the strongest entry, Scarlet Witch #10 is definitely not bad. Zamas presence is felt through similar culturally artistic nuances seen in previous issues, infusing a Japanese artistic vibe within the context of an American comic, with the addition of Herrings mysterious color work. This issue conjures odd and nearly wordless feelings within me between the story, the characters, and the art, and I value these things because they give me an opportunity to digest a comic in ways beyond what is physically represented. I have my points of contention, but they pale in comparison to the experience of absorbing this issue in the many facets of its presentation. Read Full Review

    The GCRN - Daniel Clark Oct 1, 2016

    Part of what I love about this series is not knowing at all what is coming next. Everything form the plot line, location, and even time period can change. The biggest common thread so far is how consistently good each story has been. It is a great example of comic book story telling in the way it can get you to care about characters with only a few pages and well designed images. For those comic lovers looking for something to give friends to get them into comics this works as a great entrypoint. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Jim Werner Sep 19, 2016

    This issue is a big step up from last month. The art and story go together perfectly and it's pretty entertaining. I still want more progression with the actual story that's going on, but this was fun. I'm hoping this is a good sign for the series moving forward. Read Full Review
