Both Rogue & Binary's rescues were... MOVING, and INTENSE! Once again, a nice balance of the cast combined with some really cool CHARACTER MOMENTS for each of them. There's also just this inherent, synergistic chemistry between them all as a group, that makes it seem like they've been together for a lot longer than they have. It all just worked for me, gelling & flowing so naturally, with pacing t more

When this book was announced I didn't know what to expect. Between the ups and downs (more downs than ups) of Wanda Maximoff in the past 20 years and the writer being a wild card I was not sure about anything but has now become one of my favorite books at marvel right now.

- Hey Wanda? You're enough.

I'm just endlessly astonished by how good this book is! This issue is really an artists' book, with the main adventure taking place in a series of splash pages, but Pichelli & Wilson rise to the challenge like they were born for it

Loved Lorna & Wanda collaborating with their powers in such complimentary fashion. Them working together as an almost singular, fused unit, just seems so natural.

The shrinking charm & linguistic enchantment to 'The Last Door' - COOL! And the *technology is evil* theme being carried on here, from the X-books, is a nice, connective thread I wasn't eXpectin' to see.
