The Maximoff Twins face all-new challenges that may bond them together or drive them apart forever in Marvel Comics’ Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver #1. Written by Steve Orlando—the Marauders veteran and mastermind behind the runaway success solo Scarlet Witch run from 2023—illustrated by Lorenzo Tammetta, with colors by Frank William and letters by VC’s Ariana Maher. Although Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver #1 follows hot on the heels of Orlando and Pichelli’s Scarlet Witch (2023). It also marks the first dedicated Quicksilver title since 2018’s Quicksilver: No Surrender #1 (which was a spin-off of Avengers: No Surrender), finally bringing the fan-favorite speedster back to the forefront of Marvel Comics.Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver #1 opens with the Maximoff twins saving New York City from some standard-fare dimension-hopping evil plummeting from the sky, with some support from their friend and magic emporium shop assistant, Darcy Lewis. Returning to the shop yields a mysterious letter, written but not sent by their deceased adoptive father, Magneto. The letter will divide the siblings in brand-new ways, just in time for a recently souped-up villain to declare all-out war on the Maximoffs.The dynamic between Wanda and Pietro, as well as their relationships with Darcy, are the absolute core of the story, and are given breathing room and development appropriate to that. The careful elaboration and deconstruction of the twins’ relationship, haunted by the shadow of their powerful and abusive father, is compelling and authentic and believable in all of its contradictions and frustrations. The utilizing of the enigmatic letter, the contents of which are still unknown to the reader, is an excellent tool that drives the mystery and tension of the series throughout the first issue and into future installments. It acts as a terrific secondary plotline. Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver #1 strikes a careful balance of being interconnected with past storylines without feeling too bogged down, briefly referencing relevant parts of the Maximoffs’ complicated and storied history with adequate recaps. The dialogue is overall very good, with a well-wrought sense of pace and vocabulary, letting it feel naturalistic and flow organically. Although the humor at work doesn’t land every single time as it lacks the acerbic quality that would make the slightly more biting quips funny, it still feels deeply charming.
