It’s hard to believe that it’s been over fifty years since The Vision and the Scarlet Witch tied the knot in the iconic Giant-Size Avengers #4. Since then it goes without saying that their relationship has had their ups and downs. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it’s rather fitting that Marvel has announced a new The Vision & Scarlet Witch five-issue miniseries that promises to redefine the relationship of the iconic couple. Perhaps wedding bells?
This miniseries will be written by Scarlet Witch scribe Steve Orlando who will be joined by returning Scarlet Witch artists Lorenzo Tammetta and Jacopo Camagni. The first issue will feature a main cover by returning Scarlet Witch cover artist Russell Dauterman along with variant covers by Stephanie Hans, Marguerite Sauvage, and a special Foil Homage Variant Cover by Josemaria Casanovas.
Here’s how Marvel describes the miniseries:
THE VISION & THE SCARLET WITCH serves as the latest evolution of Orlando’s ongoing Scarlet Witch run, which has successfully redefined the adventures of Wanda Maximoff. Carving out her own path in the Marvel Universe as a solo hero, Scarlet Witch’s magic has never been more powerful. But when it comes to helping Vision, she’ll need more than strength alone! Befitting their decades-spanning romance, Scarlet Witch and Vision team up for a dramatic saga that will test their souls and break their hearts!
REUNITED…UNDER FATAL CIRCUMSTANCES!
Mysterious doors are opening all over the world, drawing people in with promises of miracles and reunions with lost loved ones. When Vision is mortally wounded investigating the deadly truth of the doors, the Scarlet Witch resorts to extreme measures to save his life – and the results are unlike anything either of them expected!
Writer Steve Orlando teased what’s to come:
“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.”
Artist Lorenzo Tammetta expressed excitement continuing to draw the adventures of Scarlet Witch:
“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!”
Jacopo Camagni added:
“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!”
