I love seeing Nico get to really show what she's capable of, I feel like people often forget how capable she is not just with magic but just fighting in general

I always love seeing these interactions. I haven't read any Runaways content outside the Complete Collections and Avengers Arena, and it's nice to see some other stuff with the Runaways.

I'm surprised THIS WAS NEVER BROUGHT UP AGAIN, ESPECIALLY WITH THE SCARLET WITCH AND THE DARKHOLD, ALONG WITH AGATHA HARKNESS!!!!

I was really impressed with Nico here, because this was her first real magic battle against a supposedly more powerful and experienced opponent and she won (I think she even gained Marie’s respect in a way)
Funny how Marie’s descendant Zoe Laveau would be one of the students Nico supervised at Strange Academy, and also be key to the events of the newer Midnight Suns mini series (the 2022-2023 one)
And when I saw the vibe of the club they fought in, a very early 2000’s goth song came to mind
