SCARLET WITCH Artist Announced

[lordultimus]

Marvel has announced that the artist on the the first issue of the Scarlet Witch ongoing series will be Constantine: The Hellblazer's Vanessa Del Rey. Written by James Robinson to work as mostly standalone issues, Scarlet Witch will have a different artist for each issue. David Aja will provide covers. In this series, Scarlet Witch will go out to save witches like herself, and the broader thing that ties them together: witchcraft.

“She wants to fix it, because it’s important to her as a witch,” said Robinson. “But [she] also [needs to] discover how it was broken, and if someone broke it, who that was. Also, she suffered from periods of mental instability, and she wants to know if that’s something that she needs to treat herself with the established ways that you treat mental illness, or if the practice of witchcraft is affecting her mentally as well. She has a personal stake, as well as a sense of wanting to fix it in the big picture.”

Scarlet Witch is scheduled to debut in December.

Please don't hotlink images directly from commercial sites, it's considered to be poor netiquette.

I love this cover!

Rotating artists?
That could be good, or it could be bad, or it could be gimmicky.
Robinson remains hit and miss with me--he's come back from the low point of Cry for Justice, but the jury remains out on whether he can make this work.
I do hope this can be the thing which fixes and redeems Wanda after so many years of horrible treatment and conflicting takes on her powers.

It's not that I don't care; I'm numb. I am no longer capable of feeling hope.

Well, I don't know about the writing. But I kinda like Wanda's new costume and the cover is nice.
