Avengers West Coast #56

The cover of this March 1990 issue says it all — "The Witch Is Back! Darker than Scarlet…" — as a transformed Scarlet Witch looms in the foreground, draped in a dramatic purple cape over her red costume, her expression fierce and unsettling. Behind her, Iron Man, the Vision, Wonder Man, and the Mockingbird appear caught in her overwhelming power, tumbling helplessly across a sweeping diagonal. John Byrne both writes and draws this chapter, bringing a sharp, dynamic energy to what looks like a deeply personal crisis for one of the West Coast Avengers' most powerful members.
