I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Scarlet Witch Vol 1: Witch's Road by James Robinson (Writer), Vanesa Del Rey (Artist), Marco Rudy (Artist, Colorist), Steve Dillion (Artist), Chirs Visions (Artists, Colorist), Javier Pulido (Artist), Jordie Bellaire ( Colorist), Frank Martin (Colorist). Vero Gandini (Colorist), Munisa Vicemte (Colorist), VC's Cory Petit (Letterer)


This interesting volume of five comics is done in a different art style for each issue which is really cool.  It deals with different stories too;  In the first issieWanda and Agatha, the ghost that hangs out with her take a case from the police about people who are killing the rich. She knows she must get to the next target and perform an exorcism on them in order to stop this but who is the next target? In the next comic she goes to Greece and meets up with the goddess Hekate, the goddess of witches who tells her that the Minotaur is loose and no one can stop him.  Wanda believes that there is someone behind this and that she really needs to find out who.

The next two comics are about the Emerald Warlock and how he is going around killing those from an ancient Celtic line.  Now he has entered Ireland and decimated the crops and animals so he can have his revenge.  Wanda and Agatha have heard what is going on there and have arrived to help.  Wanda goes down the Witches Road and meets some interesting people there.  How will she defeat a centuries-old warlock who is much stronger than she is?  The last comic involves a nun of all things asking for help to put to rest the souls of some nuns from the Spanish Inquisition [Nothing can stop the Spanish Inquisition!]

The art in this comic is just flat out stellar and amazing. During the part of the Minotaur, the panels were drawn in a labyrinth. The exorcism part was stunning colors and incredible drawings.  But the whole book was that way.  It's worth owning just to look at the pictures nevermind that there are interesting stories to tell.  This book blew me away.  I give it five out of five stars.
