Yeah, I really wanted to support Wanda having a solo book, but under the Diamond/pre-order model, there was no way for me to do so, seeing as how I live in Paris.
Which is SO STUPID. (Diamond, not your living in Paris.) I mean for a bunch of comics I dutifully put them on my pull list and picked them up every week and they got fucking cancelled anyway! And then the LCS orders were so low, if they didn't get me an issue or I started late in a series, you had to buy one off ebay at like twice the price, and the artist wouldn't get money anyway. W.T.F. Or you can go pawing through the 'bargain bins' to see what you missed only I don't have the time or the wrists to do that. I thought book publishing was bad (screwed royalties, 'credit for returns,' quarterly payments, all that) but comics publishing makes it look like a business school model.

The covers were amazing! (I wonder if they're available as posters or shirts?)
I would SO buy a poster of one, or a couple, or all of them in a kind of quilt thing. He posted them all here: http://davidaja.com/temp/SCARLET_WITCH_COVERS.jpg
