Marvel Comics has shed new light on Steve Orlando and Jacopo Camagni’s upcoming Scarlet Witch series, including a new variant of Scarlet Witch named Lore. She is none other than Wanda’s demonic counterpart from 1994’s Scarlet Witch limited series, and she’s back!
“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!”
