on December 30, 2022

Following her redemption in the pages of X-Men: Trial of Magneto, Wanda was reborn as the hero the Marvel Universe needs her to be!

Now she is making the most of her fresh start, using her powers in a glorious new way and embracing a new calling to help those who need it the most beginning in the brand-new ongoing solo series SCARLET WITCH #1.

Comic Watch Editor-in-Chief Matt Meyer said about the upcoming series:

SCARLET WITCH #1 gets my Marvel vote because Wanda is a character with a rich history and limitless potential who is generally stuck as a B-lister.
Plus, having positive Romani representation is always a good thing!

CW Contributor Aaron Kleinman added:

Scarlet Witch has been getting the shaft for so long and I think it’s time she gets her return to the spotlight

CW Contributor B. Radtz also picked the new series saying:

Orlando seems to have a strong connection to Wanda, and isn’t afraid to use continuity to advance his story, rather than toss it aside.

SCARLET WITCH #1

THE SCARLET WITCH RETURNS!

There is a door that appears only to those who need it most, who have no one else in the world to turn to. On the other side of this door is the witchcraft shop. Friend or foe, human or otherwise—if your need is great and your hope is gone, there you will meet the SCARLET WITCH!

Wanda Maximoff is familiar with hitting rock bottom—and now that she’s finally found peace, she’s pledged all her power to help others who are languishing at their lowest. But when a woman falls through Wanda’s door with a terrifying story of a town gone mad, the Scarlet Witch will have to muster her wits and chaos magic to deal with an insidious threat!
