‘The Vision & The Scarlet Witch’ Celebrates 50 Years Of Marvel’s Star-Crossed Lovers In May
by Tony Thornley
They’re one of the greatest pairings in comics history. He’s a synthetic being and son of the Avengers’ deadliest foe. She’s a mutant and living conduit of magic. In May, they reunite in a new limited series celebrating fifty years of their love.
Spinning out of the ongoing Scarlet Witch series, The Vision & The Scarlet Witch finds the duo reconnecting from writer Steve Orlando and artists Lorenzo Tammetta and Jacopo Camagni.
Mysterious doors are opening all over the planet, drawing people in with promises of miracles. When the Vision is injured while investigating the phenomenon, Wanda takes drastic measures to save her love’s life. The result is not something anyone would expect.
“When it comes to the Scarlet Witch, anything’s possible!” Orlando said. “Now, on the 50th Anniversary of their wedding, the Vision and the Scarlet Witch reunite to face a creeping, corrosive evil from beyond not just the grave, but beyond the universe itself. Wanda and Vision remain one of Marvel’s most iconic couples — and not just for their marriage, but for everything since. It’s a rare, beautiful thing for characters to truly be able to have a relationship grow as Wanda and Vision have. They’ve come together, they’ve come apart, and come back together stronger than before — as family. That’s a mature bond, and it’s something truly special — I’m honored to be part of it, and even more excited for folks to see us test it! At Death’s Door, Wanda and Vision have nowhere to turn … but to each other.”
“Working on Scarlet Witch is a dream job,” Tammetta shared. “Drawing Wanda in action is always fun and inspiring, and I’m so happy to be able to continue exploring her powers in this series as well. Being able to draw her alongside Vision is also a huge honor, knowing how important these characters are to fans!”
“Scarlet and Vision are one of my favorite couples in the Marvel Universe,” Camagni shared. “They’re certainly the couple with the most dramatic history and an almost Victorian love story. The idea of being able to work on them and their relationship both delights and excites me, and I can’t wait!”
