It’s not like I do close reads on Marvel comics, but even the die-hard comic fans that I know had never heard of Agatha Harkness.

Spin-off show Torchwood left a lasting legacy when it concluded in 2011, with a shrine at Cardiff Bay commemorating the late character Ianto Jones who was in a relationship with John Barrowman's pansexual character Captain Jack Harkness.

Poorna Jagannathan, “Deli Boys” “Agatha Harkness is Kathryn Hahn at her finest — a bit hammy and extra but also sharp, smart and nuanced. Perhaps it’s because the character is pretty much everything society tells you women aren’t supposed to be, but you can feel Hahn having a blast playing her.”

But in the Disney+ series “Agatha All Along,” Hahn pulls from all the disparate strands of her body of work to play the perfidious, power-hungry witch Agatha Harkness.

But by the time Agatha Harkness’ body instantaneously rots and decomposes into a bed of flowers in shades of her signature purple, her death inspires something closer to sadness rather than cheer.
