MARVEL'S NEW SORCERER SUPREME REVEALED!

SCARLET WITCH is the new Sorcerer Supreme

See Wanda Maximoff take magic in the Marvel Universe to new heights in SORCERER SUPREME, an ongoing comic series launching in December from Steve Orlando and Bernard Chang!

In the wake of Victor Von Doom’s fall, a new Sorcerer Supreme rises to take his place in SORCERER SUPREME, an ongoing series launching in December. Since it was announced, the mysterious series has kept fans guessing over which magical hero would receive the mantle. Today, it’s revealed along with the series’ creative team!

Wanda Maximoff has been many things, a mother, an Avenger and the Scarlet Witch. Now, Wanda claims a new title: Sorcerer Supreme! Follow her adventures as Earth’s primary mystical defender this December in SORCERER SUPREME, written by Scarlet Witch scribe Steve Orlando and rising star artist Bernard Chang (Blood Hunters). Fan favorite artist Leirix will deliver spellbinding main covers. Superstar Scarlet Witch artist Russell Dauterman also returns to grace Wanda with a costume befitting her new title and provide variant covers for the first five issues. Each of Dauterman’s covers will spotlight a member of Wanda’s advisory council, including Clea, Chthon, Wiccan and more magical experts!

Defying tradition and breaking every rule, Scarlet Witch charts a bold, new path as the SORCERER SUPREME! But will her rebellious approach to the role bring magic in the Marvel Universe to new heights or leave it in ruin?

The Vishanti, unwilling to validate Wanda’s claim, anoint their own Sorcerer Supreme—AGATHA HARKNESS! Following a fiery battle with her former mentor, Wanda wakes up in Limbo where nothing is as it seems. And if she’s going to escape, she must first defeat its ruler…MADELYNE PRYOR! And with Wanda and the Vishanti distracted, what rising mystical threats have escaped their notice? Determined to fulfill her sacred new duty, Wanda expands her scope and redefines her power to protect the world like no Sorcerer Supreme ever has!

On Wanda’s new direction, Orlando said, “When it comes to the Scarlet Witch…anything’s possible! Those are the works Wanda lives by, and they’re the words we as creators live by too. So, with the Sorcerer Supreme title in the wind after One World Under Doom, the question became—who’s the next to wield the cloak and the eye? Or more precisely—who could hear such powerful artifacts crying out from the edge of destruction? And in the Marvel Universe, there’s one person above all who hears you when no one else will—Wanda Maximoff!”

“I can’t wait for folks to see Wanda take up the cloak and the eye—for the primal disruptor to shake things up in the face of magic’s proprietors…with nothing less than the betterment of all in mind,” he continued. “And to be working with the incredible Bernard Chang and Ruth Redmond? That’s a dream come true, folks—each page they touch brings style and power to Wanda like never before!”

“I am overly excited about joining Steve and Ruth and the rest of SORCERER SUPREME team,” Chang said. “We are putting our hearts and souls into crafting a new journey for one of Marvel Comics’ most powerful heroes. While this is my first time tackling the wonderful Wanda Maximoff, I look forward to the challenges ahead and aim to garner the trust and enthusiasm from both her longtime readers and new, and I hope you will come along for the ride.”

Check out the first three main covers by Leirix along with variant covers by Rose Besch, Mark Brooks, Devmalya Pramanik, and Jenny Frison. In addition, check out the first three of Russell Dauterman’s variant covers as well as a variant cover spotlighting his original design sheet for Wanda’s new look.
