As the 60th anniversary of the Avengers continues, Marvel Comics announced writer Steve Orlando and artist Lorenzo Tammetta are teaming for Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, a new mini-series coming in February 2024.
The Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver have been heroes, friends, family heads and occasionally villains, but, above all, they are twins who look out for each other. So when Wanda receives a letter from the recently deceased Magneto that would upset Pietro, she burns the letter before her brother can read it. But her choice drives them apart at the worst possible time: a new threat heralded by the Wizard – with a horrifying eldritch upgrade – is coming for their heads, and if they can’t find a way to repair their damaged bond, it will cost them their lives.
On writing a comic that incorporates Quicksilver on a grander level, writer Steve Orlando said during a livestream, “We’ve been doing so much work with Wanda and we wanted to spotlight the diversity of her powers and the dynamic things she can do… and it’s really exciting to do the same, and give the same love, to Pietro during the 60th anniversary.” He continued, “But, it’s not just about his powers! It’s about who he is and bringing him back into this chosen family narrative we’re doing. So, you won’t just see Pietro back in the book, you’ll see Pietro with members of the extended Maximoff family that he hasn’t gotten a ton of time to spend with before!”
Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver #1 (of 4) arrives on February 14, 2024.
