Scarlet witch. La strada delle streghe

I read the Marvel Comic books Scarlet Witch #1-5, story by the usually amazing James Robinson but in this case he doesn't do not enough to really create a captivating story despite it still being really well written, and drawn by a plethora of artists!

Compare this to Wytches or Rachel Rising on the witch meter and this falls short. It's plodding and mired in getting us background, a mistake for a first volume.
