She might even be my favorite female Marvel character alongside Jean Grey. This was the only graphic novel readily available to me, so I decided to give it a shot. It only succeeded in one thing, and it's to make me like Scarlet Witch a lot less than I did before.
The whole collection is a rollercoaster ride full of confusing twists and turns that didn't make sense. The collection didn't really showcase the real Scarlet Witch and her potentials. She has a huge potential but this collection put that potential to waste. She needs proper treatment, and I might just have to look elsewhere for that.
1.5/5 stars. Not the worst comic book collection out there, but it made me dislike a character that I really like. I hope I find another collection that can really showcase who Scarlet Witch is. Highly recommended to avoid this graphic novel....more

This new comic book series was made to coincide with the app "Marvel Contest of Champions". I'm a dedicated player of the app since July, so when I heard that they wanted to improve the story of the game by releasing a comic book series, I was excited. Take note though that the developers of the app are greedy motherfuckers who love to make players spend thousands of cash but without much player satisfaction in return. I haven't spent that much, and I won't be feeding them with the money they don't deserve.
There is this character named Guillotine that was specially made for the game. I had no idea about her backstory because she's new, so I was heavily relying on this series to know more about her. This first issue was not impressive. She seems a bit boring and weak as of now, and I'm not amused by that. She has a lot of potential, and hopefully they improve on the plot. I'm about to read the second issue to further see if the series has hopes of improving.
I don't usually read by issue, because I tend to wait for the graphic novel to come out. This one was too tempting to be held off, so I decided to read this by issue. We all hate the waiting game, but I've already started reading the first one, so I'll be reading the next issues per week. I'm really hoping that the plot would improve, and also the artwork. I'm also not that impressed with the artwork. Iron man looks like shit.
2.5/5 stars. The low rating might be because I'm not used to reading by issue. Not giving up on this series....more
