The thief is in a very strange place. She’s been offered wine, though, so it’s okay. Her hostess has a few things to set right. Her hostess is a wielder of magics who needs to deal with a powerful magical artifact in Scarlet Witch #10. Writer Steve Orlando concludes his series with Wanda as aided by the art team of Jacopo Camagni, Russell Dauterman and Elisabetta D’Amico. Wanda’s life meets another turning point in an issue that examines a few angles on her personality while moving things forward for her in herlife. It’s a very entertaining journey into magic in the Marvel Universe. 

Wanda had taken an apprentice. That apprentice has been cst into danger...entering the heart of Wanda’s magical vault. There she found the thief trying to steal something powerful. One thing led to another and there was madness, chaos and a completely different magical artifact known as the Tri-Crown of Chaos Godhead. Her life is in danger. The world is in danger. And the thief who inadvertently had a hand in starting all of this is...drinking. It’s all a bit of a mess and if anyone can straighten it all out, it mught just be the whoman who owns the vault. 

Orlando opens the issue with narration spoken to Wanda in the second person. This is kind of a bad start. There was a point at which this type of narration was cliché. And it might still be cliché on some level. It's just very difficult to do it in a way that feels original. The narrative doesn't really gain anything from speaking directly to, the character in the second person. It just feels kind of weird and awkward. It says though Orlando is trying to affect a certain mood that is almost at odds with the rest of the issue. That being said, the rest of the issue is actually quite well executed. And Orlando manages to explore some really interesting aspects of her personality and her current life from some interesting and entertaining angles.

The team doesn't try to go for anything to tricky or complicated. It's a very straightforward. Read of what it is that's going on. It's a very clear and concise approach to telling this sort of story. And in its own way, that's almost kind of more of a disappointment than if they were to try something a little bit more ambitious with the visual framing of the action. Better to do that and fail to do something safe and not really make much of an impression. That being said, the title character remains very beautiful throughout and her seems really heroic. Visually it does feel very appealing. Just not very interesting. 

This reaches the end of the series. It’s pretty solid approach to wrapping-up a 10-issue series that feels pretty respectable on the whole. It’ll be interesting seeing Orlando and company explore relations between Wanda and Vision for yet another Vision and the Scarlet Witch series.
