Development

Scarlet Witch (2015)

James Robinson viewed his Scarlet Witch series as an anthology that follows Wanda Maximoff's evolution into an occult detective, focusing on her character while intentionally distancing her from the complexities of her past in the Marvel universe. He emphasized the portrayal of witchcraft as a reflection of powerful women, enriched by the contributions of female artists, and highlighted the importance of family, particularly her relationship with her brother Pietro Maximoff. The narrative incorporates authentic spells and magic, offering a grounded interpretation distinct from titles featuring characters like Doctor Strange. Robinson aimed to deepen Wanda Maximoff's character development through her global adventures, ultimately envisioning her growth as a journey toward confidence and mastery, leading to a stronger identity as a solitary heroine rather than a return to her previous alliances with the Avengers. [24]

Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver (2024)

Steve Orlando said the Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver series features a dynamic narrative that pits the siblings against the Wizard and his newly formed army, the Frightful Four Hundred, driven by a formidable force in the Marvel Universe. The story delves into the Maximoffs' evolving relationship, particularly their complicated feelings toward their father, Magneto, highlighted by a letter containing his last wishes that influences their perspectives. Orlando emphasized the acknowledgment of their troubled histories and the emotional struggles stemming from their father's abuse, while Pietro Maximoff is portrayed with depth beyond his roles as Wanda Maximoff's twin or Magneto's son. The series features a Darkseid-level villain whose threat may extend to the multiverse, alongside striking visuals from artists Russell Dauterman and Lorenzo Tammetta. While primarily focused on the siblings, the narrative hints at potential appearances from other family members, such as their sister Polaris and possibly Billy and Tommy, as Orlando expressed enthusiasm for exploring their personal struggles, family dynamics, and external threats in a fresh and engaging way. [25]

Scarlet Witch (2024)

Steve Orlando described Scarlet Witch #1 as possessing a "cataclysmic" atmosphere, emphasizing that Wanda Maximoff's actions and the confidence she has regained lead to a dramatic confrontation with a cosmic force that jeopardizes both her existence and the fate of the planet. He commended artist Jacopo Camagni for his striking and graceful illustrations, which effectively capture the beauty of the unusual aspects of Maximoff's journey. While Orlando has not yet confirmed the series' legacy numbering, he expressed optimism about its potential inclusion in the future. He underscored the significance of Maximoff's character development, suggesting that her struggles to assert her worth and independence are pivotal themes, and hinted at a new manifestation of her powers that will be unveiled later in the series. [26]

Diamond Comic Distributors reported that the Avengers: Vision and the Scarlet Witch trade paperback was the 162nd best-selling graphic novel in June 2010. [30] [31]

Max Nason of Comic Book Resources stated that the two-volume limited series The Vision and the Scarlet Witch, written by Bill Mantlo and Steve Englehart, is essential for anyone preparing for WandaVision . He emphasized that these series expand and explore the relationship between Maximoff and Vision following their wedding in Giant-Size Avengers #4. Nason found both volumes crucial for understanding the characters as individuals and as a married couple, highlighting significant storylines about Maximoff's relationship with her father and her journey into motherhood. He concluded that this classic series is vital for grasping the complexities of one of Marvel's most intricate couples. [32] Darby Harn of Screen Rant described The Vision and the Scarlet Witch (Vol. 2) #12 as a crucial issue in the history of the Scarlet Witch. He noted that this final installment of the 1985 mini-series features Maximoff giving birth to her sons, Billy and Tommy, after a challenging delivery. Harn praised the issue for portraying a joyous moment for Maximoff and Vision, who have stepped back from their superhero duties to embrace a more ordinary life in the suburbs. He stated that this series significantly influenced the storyline of WandaVision, making it an essential read for fans. [33]

Scarlet Witch (2015)

Diamond Comic Distributors reported that Scarlet Witch #1 was the 29th best-selling comic book in December 2015. [34] The Scarlet Witch TPB Vol 1 1: Witches Road trade paperback was the 27th best-selling graphic novel in July 2016. [35] The Scarlet Witch TPB Vol 1 2: World of Witchcraft trade paperback was the 52nd best-selling graphic novel in Janaury 2017. [36] [37]

Nick Eskey of ComicsBeat praised the character of Agatha Harkness, whose ghost provides snarky commentary, adding a humorous dynamic to Wanda Maximoff’s solitary life in her Manhattan loft as she confronts magical disturbances. Eskey found the issue's exploration of Wanda's convoluted backstory—ranging from her origins as the daughter of a golden age superhero to her controversial retcon as a non-mutant—interesting but noted that it adds to the complexity of her character. He stated that, like many first issues, the narrative features a limited conflict and heavy exposition, which occasionally slowed the pacing and made the dialogue feel tedious. However, he highlighted the artwork by Del Rey and the coloring by Jordie Bellaire as the comic's strongest aspects, noting that the art is so powerful it could convey the story without much dialogue. Eskey concluded that he found Scarlet Witch #1 enjoyable and suggested that, with some modifications to the dialogue and the addition of more characters, the series has the potential to thrive. [38] Chase Magnett of ComicBook.com gave Scarlet Witch #1 a grade of B, stating that the issue successfully utilizes the character of Wanda Maximoff without relying on any iconic interpretations. He praised writer James Robinson and artist Vanesa Del Rey for crafting a new mythos around Scarlet Witch, similar to the fresh take in Matt Fraction and David Aja's run on Hawkeye. Magnett found Del Rey's artwork to be the standout element, noting its layered shadows and brooding forms, which effectively complement the dark themes of witchcraft in Robinson's script. However, Magnett pointed out that while the pacing is methodical and matches the story's tone, the narrative structure lacks integrity under scrutiny. He enjoyed Maximoff's character, highlighting her sarcastic demeanor, but criticized the magical elements, particularly a retcon involving the French Revolution, which he felt undermined the story's climax. He concluded that while Scarlet Witch #1 has a lot of promise and presents a compelling depiction of Maximoff, it would benefit from a more rigorous editorial approach as the series progresses. [39]
