Family matters! But the Scarlet Witch’s loyalties are tested when an enemy of the Kree/Skrull Empire falls through the Last Door, desperate for help avenging their fallen comrades.

Wanda swore to help anyone who walked through her door…but what happens when that person is a villain? And why has a corner of Oklahoma been transformed into the Emerald City?!
