This was most encouraging, can only hope that Lorna's part of it.

10 Things That Need To Happen In The New X-Men ‘97 Series, According To Reddit
https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/new...it/ar-AA13IslC

Scarlet Witch Vs. Dark Phoenix
TheXMan2024 believes that a "Scarlet Witch vs. [Dark] Phoenix" episode could be epic. While this demand is extremely unlikely, it'll certainly make Dark Phoenix interesting again after fans have become fatigued after seeing the same Jean Gray story countless times. However, it could also come off as a little derivative of what is currently happening in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Not only did Scarlet Witch battle Agatha in an epic showdown at the end of WandaVision, but she also fought sorcerers in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. She could appear in Agatha: Coven of Chaos, but most importantly, fans have theorized about a solo Scarlet Witch movie, too. Though the Scarlet Witch is one of the strongest fighters in the MCU, Wanda is in danger of fatiguing fans herself, and appearing in X-Men '97 might overdo it.

House Of M
While a Scarlet Witch vs. Dark Phoenix might be too close in its narrative to the MCU, that doesn't matter to this user, who wants to see the "House of M storyline involving Wanda." House of M would also heavily feature the Scarlet Witch, as it's all about Magneto and his two children, Wanda and Pietro, fighting the X-Men.
But, once again, it would be way too similar to what's happening in the MCU, specifically Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The narratives are almost identical, as the comic book is about Wanda suffering a mental breakdown after attempting to bring her lost children back to life. Not only that, but the premise would be way too dark for a kids' morning show.

Phoenix vs Galactus would be much better a cosmic entity vs another cosmic entity

It took long enough, like over 10 years, but...

looks like the sisters & rest of their HoM's found fam's finally being positioned...

and are poised, to start reaching for their combined, *MaX* potential.

[PolarIceFire]

Pietro also has THIS goin' on...

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2023: AVENGERS/X-MEN #1 features a pair of all-new stories that set the stage for the next evolution in mutant adventures, FALL OF X, and introduces an uncanny new lineup for a new team book launching next year. Plus, a preview of Jonathan Hickman and Valerio Schiti’s upcoming mystery project.

and it's apparently being solicited for February, which is weird.

And another sweet screenshot of Wanda w/Lorna from the trailer, just because...

That's a pretty dope trailer. "Hero for the hopeless" has a nice ring to it. I wasn't sure if I would be giving the series a try but I think I'm in, especially because...



THIS is where we are likely to see an extended reaction from Lorna to their father's death, alongside her sister. I truly love seeing our mutants pop up with other heroes.

DAMN, Dauterman can do no wrong - it's BEAUTIFUL!!

[jmc247]

As a long fan of the potential of Wanda and Lorna’s relationship I have been less than enthusiastic at the results of their last two encounters. There are real issues between them not to be fluffed over. Their early 00s stuff was more meaty and held more weight for me given their worldviews weren’t bypassed.

Anyway AP card.

UPDATES ABOUND!! From...
X-Men Monday #181 – Steve Orlando Talks ‘Scarlet Witch’, @Community.CBR.com

https://aiptcomics.com/2022/11/28/x-...arlet-witch-2/

There's many great questions and answers, and this one in particular I found fun from I believe our own jmc247.

AIPT: (More on Scarlet Witch #3 after the interview, X-Fans!) Now, X-Fan JMC was wondering, what do you see as the main differences between the Scarlet Witch and Polaris?

Steve: Wanda and Lorna have had a complicated relationship in the past, but now that they’re both rededicated to giving family a shot, I think they’ll potentially bond over things that have in the past brought tension. Now, the question of Polaris’s parentage is clear, and she’s secure in being Magneto’s biological daughter. From that security comes her desire to reconnect with her adopted sister (and brother, in time).

Both Wanda and Lorna have struggled with mental health in the past, and both overcome it. But that being said, Lorna remains a scientist. She sees the world through a scientific lens, one where logic and proven answers rule, and physics reigns — even if she’s a mutant who can manipulate magnetism. She still sees herself as manipulating the provable, natural world’s inner workings. And Wanda? She manipulates reality itself, she can make an untrue thing true, make the impossible possible. And so she is more worried about the endpoint, the goal, not the journey. Lorna is the opposite. But as we see when Polaris appears, often times it takes the meeting point of their two philosophies to get the job done.

And this week's eXclusive images are lettered preview pages from Scarlet Witch #1. ...

On LUNA *and* THE BOYS!!!

... AIPT: X-Fan MetalMagic said Wanda’s stories have always, for better or worse, been deeply influenced and enriched by her relationships with her family and loved ones. Recent events have granted Wanda the power to mend old wounds and the agency to forge a new path forward for herself. With this new perspective, MetalMagic is ecstatic to see Wanda interacting with her siblings, Pietro and Lorna, and exploring her connections with her “extended family” in Viv Vision. That being said, will the series aim to define or take a deeper look at Wanda’s complicated relationship with her “sons” Billy and Tommy?

Steve: The chief goal of Scarlet Witch is to explore Wanda’s character itself as deeply as possible. She’s the star. She’s the icon. But that being said — this is a book that celebrates chosen family, and it would be incredible for Wanda to quest her way into Billy and Tommy’s orbit, separate or together. It would be fascinating to explore Wanda’s dynamic with Billy and Tommy’s human parents, and contrast that with her role as the mother of the people Billy and Tommy reincarnated from. Yet another strange facet of Wanda’s life that she’s learning to lean into, to embrace and explore. ...

SCARLET WITCH #3

Written by STEVE ORLANDO

Cover by RUSSELL DAUTERMAN

ENTER POLARIS!

When Polaris’ visit to her sister’s new magic shop is interrupted by a microscopic warrior desperate for aid, Polaris and the Scarlet Witch put their own mystery on hold to help on a fantastic journey through Sub-Atomica! Meanwhile, the dark past of Wanda’s enigmatic shop clerk, Darcy Lewis, comes back…with a vengeance.

... AIPT: And while we’re talking family, X-Fans Ian, JMC, Kingdom X, and PolarIceHavok were all wondering if Wanda’s feelings about Magneto’s recent death might be explored.

Steve: They’ll absolutely be explored! You’ll be seeing that in issue 2, for which the solicit just came out, in a killer backup story by Stephanie Williams and Chris Allen that features Storm as well — I can’t wait!

Also, from elsewhere, some things to consider:

... putting these 2 things 2gether =

... AIPT: ... feelings about Magneto’s recent death...

Steve: ... explored!... in issue 2!...

SCARLET WITCH #3...

ENTER POLARIS!...

Polaris and the Scarlet Witch put their own mystery on hold to help...

If I'm not mistaken, there's been no reaction(s) to & zero fallout from... Mags' *apparent* sacrifice, so far. Timing's been & seems to still be... a li'l out of whack. That said, I could see the combo of restoring the twins' [biological] HoM parentage & Erik's return from "death" being rather *event*... ful, à la something like 'Children's Crusade', but in reverse. ...

*Maybe?*
