Anybody have any idea why Wanda is suddenly getting top billing? My mouth has gotten used to saying "Quicksilver & the Scarlet Witch" for the last 40-odd years ... !

In our enlightened modern comics era, no superheroine has to take second place to a male hero anymore - so long as she's well stacked.

Wait -- there's some other kind?

[Philip Portelli]

Just from the pages shown, it looks like their first encounter with Magneto is the same but was he tracking them down?

Odd that two characters who will not be spotlighted in the movie are featured.

Maybe Wanda is getting top billing because she's a more interesting, more likable, more sympathetic, more powerful character -- and because of those, more salable -- character?
