Scarlet Witch Becomes Marvel’s New Sorcerer Supreme as Ongoing Series Launches December 31

The move sets up a schism in Marvel magic with the Vishanti backing Agatha Harkness over Wanda.

Overview

  • Marvel’s Sorcerer Supreme ongoing is written by Steve Orlando with art by Bernard Chang, positioning Wanda as Earth’s lead mystical defender.
  • The official synopsis states the Vishanti refuse to validate Wanda’s claim and instead anoint Agatha Harkness, igniting an immediate power struggle.
  • Wanda awakens in Limbo after clashing with her former mentor and must overcome its ruler, Madelyne Pryor, to escape.
  • The status change follows Doctor Doom’s brief tenure and defeat during Blood Hunt and One World Under Doom, restoring the mantle to a new bearer.
  • Issue #1 goes on sale December 31 with pre-orders open, issue #2 is due January 28, and Russell Dauterman provides a new costume and early-issue variants spotlighting advisors like Clea, Chthon, and Wiccan.
