‘Scarlet Witch’ #10 Brings Wanda’s Latest Season To A Close
by Tony Thornley
For the past year, Scarlet Witch has redefined Wanda Maximoff as she moves into a more prominent role in the future of the Marvel Universe. With issue #10, the current “season” of her adventures come to a close, and the next phase of Wanda’s life begins.
Our own Scott Redmond has praised the series from Steve Orlando, Sara Pichelli and more. It’s taken the Scarlet Witch, perhaps the character who’s gotten the biggest boost from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and set her up with a distinct identity and mission from her longtime role amongst the Avengers. With the upcoming issue #10, out on November 1, Wanda’s mission will change again as the series gets ready for its second season, coming later next year.
Since launching earlier this year, Steve Orlando, Sara Pichelli and Lorenzo Tammetta’s Scarlet Witch has enchanted readers with dazzling displays of Wanda’s powers, a captivating new status quo, and spellbinding additions to Wanda’s growing rogues gallery. With jawdropping covers from Russell Dauterman, the series has remained a Marvel must-read month after month. And the Last Door isn’t closing yet! Bold new developments are in store but first, behold Scarlet Witch’s climactic duel with her new archenemy, Hexfinder, in Scarlet Witch #10! The vicious witch hunter has been plaguing Wanda since the start, and Wanda will hold nothing back as they finally meet on the battlefield!
Scarlet Witch VS. Hexfinder! When chaos magic meets alchemical might, it’s all Wanda can do to keep her town – and her friends – from getting caught in the crossfire. Hexfinder has sworn vengeance on all witches and won’t stop until Wanda is a trophy on her wall. Wanda is one of the most powerful forces in the Marvel Universe – but can she stand against someone who’s trained her whole life to eradicate magic?
“Scarlet Witch has been the gig of a lifetime–one that’s challenged me, surprised me, and brought me together with some of the greatest collaborators I’ve ever been lucky enough to work with,” Orlando shared. “And we’re far from done–I can’t wait for folks to see what we’ve been conjuring up next, something that celebrates a massive milestone for Wanda and her family, and explodes this current season up into something gonzo, blockbuster, and bursting with power. Wanda will return stronger, bolder, and more powerful than ever–and not alone!”
Check out the covers from Russell Dauterman, Elizabeth Torque, Felipe Massafera, and Marc Aspinall as well as interior pages from Pichelli and Tammetta, and be sure to pick up Scarlet Witch #10 on November 1 from Marvel Comics.
