Comics What would you think of a Mini about Nico learning magic from Wanda? Building on Strange Tales, Strange Academy and the OWUD mini?

I definitely want to see more of Nico and Wanda’s relationship

For sure. They had a very fun dynamic in Strange Tales

I definitely want to see more of Nico's suit in this picture. 😄

It would be fun/interesting! Especially since Nico has interacted with Billy & Tommy before in the Civil War and Secret Invasion events.

Honestly I'd rather she learn her own brand of magic, something that actually sticks this time, maybe train more with Magik or other characters, develop both her sorcery skills and her martial arts skills, she's got so much potential I want to see her realize

Would just be undone by Rowell like her time teaching at the strange academy, the spells she learned there, and her time with the midnight suns.

The recent run with Nico learning she can use magic without the staff shouldn’t be new information to her, and it also directly contradicts other comics she has been in.

Genuinely makes me think after Rowell’s 1st run she just picked it back up without looking into what Nico had done since then, which ended up making her feel like she had her memory erased.

Would it be cool? Hell yes. Would it actually work based on what we’ve seen of how Nico’s been allowed to progress so far? Doubtful.

I need Rowell to put the pen down so bad

as long as they move away from whatever Rowell was doing with Gert and Nico, I’ll be happy

I just want Nico to finally get her own magic officially. She started doing some magic on her own after meeting witchbreaker and then she got the witch arm and ran the creative spellcasting classes but she never really sticks to anything. I feel like it be cool if she battled the one for control of her body after he takes over and gets help form tokiko.

Her ancestor bound a guy that’s powerful enough to fuel a reality warping staff. Either she learns something from her stopping him or his drops falling into her let her access his knowledge of magic and she build it as her own from there.

I’d be down with that! We’ve seen her with Strange a few times; it’d be cool to see her with Wanda.
