Wanda Magnus of X Men Noir

Don't know if anyone else is following the series, but I saw it in the shop and picked it up since I'm a noir fan. The series itself is so-so, and really focuses more on the Golden Age Angel and Peter/Pietro's analogue, but Wanda still shows up in both the issues currently out. If anyone else read it (or wants to, it's available for download online), I was wondering what you think of her portrayal in it so far?

For my part, it's kind of unusual to see Wanda as the 1940/1950s-style party-girl, and... Well, I guess I'll stick with the series just to see how it turns out, although I'm honestly not expecting too much. This world is non-powered so maybe this is what Wanda would be like if she were without the burden of the whole 'mutant' thing, and also without Pietro's constant presence? Re: X Men Noir itself, I think

SPOILER/S... ?

... it kind of fumbled the ball. I was interested in it being a gritty story where the Brotherhood and the X Men were similar shades of gray, but seems it's shaping up to typically 'Magnus framed the X Men/murdered Jean/is generally evil.' I'm somewhat bummed because, as Magnus' daughter, unperturbed by her criminal father, and according to the laws of Noir working against the Lady In Red, Wanda may end up dead as well as roughed up.
