"60th Magical Anniversary!" The Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff Appreciation 2024!

[Captain Craig]

Lore
I've looked into the names meaning and do not see an answer to my question.

What makes this a name chosen for a mirrored version of a character who is not so noble or heroic?

The only other example I have is Lore from Star Trek TNG and now this Lore, evil(?) Scarlet Witch.

Probably because the ST Lore is a dark mirror of Data. And Nexus being Lore is just a nod to that

Another teaser from Jacopo Camagni
Really liking his Wanda already

Can't Wait!!! I love Camagni's art.

New interview with Steve Orlando just went up. It also contains some new pages of preview art and Im already in love with it. Check it all out.

Looks like Griever isn't wasting time and immediately starting her attack. I also wonder what Orlando means with

AIPT: Do you have a favorite spell by Wanda be it in past issues or in an upcoming issue?

SO: I will say that Russell came up with a new expression of Wanda’s gifts that will appear later in this solo run that’s upcoming, but that’s not technically a spell.

i saw that Lora returns in Scarlet Witch #3? Her book is gtting relaunched? When? I hate and dont see the point of a relaunch when you keep the same creative team.

Interesting that Wanda becomes the Marvel Universe’s prime defender against deadly mystical threats, shouldn't that be Dr. Strange's job as Sorcerer Supreme?

Yay, it's getting relaunched after Scarlet and Quicksilver ends with issue #4. Also it isn't the same creative team, while Orlando is still writing JACOPO CAMAGNI will be the artist

Lore, who destroyed her own world before trying to conquer the Multiverse, represents Wanda’s worst fear—a version of herself that’s gone mad with power! Will Scarlet Witch need her own inner darkness in order to defeat her? Check out the art for SCARLET WITCH #3, including a variant by artist Joëlle Jones, and preorder SCARLET WITCH #1 at your local comic shop today!

She looks a bit like MCU Wanda from the concept art of MoM.

I guess. We still got Dauterman on covers though

I wonder that if and when Wanda returns, they will retcon Lore as being a variant we saw in MOM, having switched places with MCU Wanda after she was lured by her children's voices at the end of WandaVision

Probably busy with stuff in his own book.

What do you mean about not heroic? Lore came out in the 90s. Before Wanda did anything unheroic. She's spent most of her career being a hero.

There was an issue (I forget what one) where Dr. Strange said when he couldn't handle magic threats to go to Wanda. So she's at least second in line for handling that.

SW & QS #3 - It would take your ex-husband to remind you that the action of burning the note is as poor a decision as when Pietro hid info from her in the past. Burn.
You feel a bit bad for Speed, he wants to help. Pietro isn't having it. Wizard finding out he could end up his Angel's bad side if the plan doesn't go accordingly!
Ready for a wrap up next month.

Reading through this issue, I thought it was weird that Pietro didnt even offer guidance to Speed when he's on Rouge/Cap's team for Uncanny Avengers. Meaning he's literally connected to the resistance and could have gotten Speed insight if he's wanting to go up against Orchis right?

[Digifiend]

I bet Cap's told Pietro to stay stealthy, or to only fight non-Orchis threats (after all, Steve would know Tony was waiting for the right time to attack). Pietro doesn't trust Tommy to not get into trouble.
