This June, chaos reignites when Steve Orlando�s SCARLET WITCH run returns! Teaming up with X-Men Red�s Jacopo Camagni, Orlando�s SCARLET WITCH will continue to push the limits of what Wanda�s magic is capable of as she becomes the Marvel Universe�s prime defender against deadly mystical threats�new and old! Among them will be LORE, Wanda�s demonic counterpart from 1994�s Scarlet Witch limited series. Complete with a wicked new look from Russell Dauterman, fans can check out Lore on both the cover of August�s SCARLET WITCH #3 and Dauterman�s original design sheet. In addition, Dauterman will join Camagni as an interior artist on SCARLET WITCH #3 to bring Wanda and Lore�s epic battle to life.

LORE RETURNS! Scarlet Witch�s fight to reach the land of the living puts her face-to-face with her necromantic multiversal counterpart! Lore won�t stop until her death at Wanda�s hands is avenged � but another one of Wanda�s nemeses may hold the key to her survival!

"Redesigning Lore was a huge treat!� Dauterman said. �Lore is an evil Wanda variant, so I wanted to contrast the design I did for our Scarlet Witch, which was meant to be magical, vibrant, and super-heroic, by going dark and sinister, with a goth, undead vibe. I�m incredible excited to also be drawing some interiors in the issue where these two Wandas face off!"

Lore, who destroyed her own world before trying to conquer the multiverse, represents Wanda�s worst fear�a version of herself that�s gone mad with power! Will Scarlet Witch need her own inner darkness in order to defeat her? Check out the art for SCARLET WITCH #3, including a variant by artist Jo�lle Jones, and preorder SCARLET WITCH #1 at your local comic shop today!

Eh, nothing new about that. Remember how the X-Men went the leather look in the wake of the first movie release?

Ugh! Don't remind me. It did not translate well to the comics.

But it's just like I always say. These people working on the comics. Both writers and artists are supposed to be these massively talented houses of ideas but the the movie community comes an and within a span of probably the last 10 to 12 years have completely overtaken the comics world as well with design and story. Really what use is Marvel with a bunch of self-absorbed, self-important, self-inserting creative writing students literally cloning the same stories over and over while character assasinating classic beloved characters and a bunch of talented line and paint and graphic design artists that can present a beautiful picture but can't design anything to compete with what they're doing in the movie industry?

That's funny. Not only are writers taking cues from the MCU but the artists are now too.

Not surprised to be honest given many Wanda fans see the MOM Wanda as the Lore given the way she was written
