3.0

The only problem with trying to follow characters in the Marvel comic universe instead of following storylines is that sometimes, you're dropped into a larger storyline with no context. Which is what I had with this one, in trying to read where Wiccan was first introduced (even if the way he's included in this volume is a bit disturbing).

You do get to see Wanda's decent back into the villain of the story, which eventually leads to the House of M storyline. Which I have read most of! I am excited to move forward with the Young Avengeres, though. Some of which I've read, but I'm excited to read more!
