Commission

Chaos-magic run consultation

A seated reading of the Scarlet Witch issues you already hold, to map gaps, reprint traps, and a sane order of next purchases.

Who it is for

Readers who have a scatter of Wanda Maximoff appearances and want a collector’s spine rather than a completionist panic.

What you leave with

A run map: reading order versus collecting order, gaps that matter, and gaps that can wait.

Included

  • Issue-by-issue walkthrough of the copies you bring or photograph
  • Notes on hex-era crossovers that inflate a ‘complete’ list
  • A next-five purchase list with condition targets

Not included

  • On-the-spot valuation for insurance
  • Sourcing during the same hour
