comics
From Marvel to DC, Geeks explores the popular and independant comic titles in the geek universe.
Agatha Harkness
With Agatha All Along coming out and being a pretty stand alone show I think it is necessary to give some comic book context for the character. Though she played a fairly major role in WandaVision, not everyone has seen the show. And though it was fairly comic book accurate there is so much more to Agatha Harkness then we have seen. So as your local comic book historian I think it is important that we talk about her on the page counterpart as this show unfolds.

The Salem Seven
Agatha All Along has name dropped the Salem Seven and as your resident comic book expert I am here to answer all those burning comic book questions. I think context is really important for a lot of these Marvel shows. But more important than that, this is how I chronicle how comic book accurate these shows are. Not that they need to be, but the best MCU films and TV shows are truer to the source material. So whether or not you read or care about the comics it is in everyone's best interest if the creators care about them.

Agatha All Along
The first episode of Agatha All Along was undeniably captivating. The mystery, the pacing, the way that all the characters played off of each other was brilliantly crafted. Jac Shaeffer has proven that she knows these characters, and more than that, that she cares for them. She is in fact the only writer in the MCU that I trust with my favorite characters. I have quite a few predictions based off this first episode but they gave us the first two so let's get into it.

Agatha All Along
Agatha All Along released its first 2 episodes at once this week. The first people to review it sang its praises, save for a few butthurt internet fanboys who can’t stand the sight of women on their TV screens. I for one am very skeptical about the series if for no other reason then they are adapting The Witches Road which is a very prominent WANDA storyline. And as she is my favorite character, and has yet to have her own solo movie, it very much feels like a slap in the face to take one of her biggest comic book moments and give it to someone else. That said, the promise of a future Scarlet Witch project hangs in the air so I am excited to see how Agatha can help us get there.

Spiderman 4 Announcement
Recently, it was announced that Destin Daniel Cretton, the filmmaker behind Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, will be directing Spider-Man 4. This marks a significant shift for the Tom Holland-led series, as Jon Watts directed the previous three installments. While Spider-Man 4 is already in development, not much is known about Peter Parker’s next adventure.

MCU Theory: Elizabeth Olsen Could Return To The MCU In 'Vision Quest'.. But Not As The Scarlet Witch
Ever since the debut of Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, the character has been a fan favourite, as has her portrayer, Elizabeth Olsen. Despite Wanda's supposed 'death' in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, fans don't think this is the last we've seen of Olsen in the MCU.
