Posted on by

This November, a young sorceress follows in the footsteps of Marvel’s greatest mystical hero! Amaranth, who was created by superstar artist Jen Bartel for last year’s New Champions variant cover program, will make her in-universe debut in Scarlet Witch #6. Writer Steve Orlando and artist Lorenzo Tammetta will introduce the character as a former protégé of Agatha Harkness who now seeks Wanda’s help to unravel her shadowy past and control her emerging magical gifts. Amaranth is the latest New Champion to have their story told in the pages of a comic, and more will continue to debut in the months ahead!

Fans can see Amaranth in four all-new Scarlet Witch #6 covers including the main cover by Russell Dauterman that also features Agatha, a foil cover by Meghan Hetrick, a stunning piece by Iván Talavera and a variant cover by Leirix that will also be available as a virgin variant cover.

INTRODUCING AMARANTH! The Scarlet Witch takes on a mysterious new pupil – at Agatha Harkness’ request. But where did the young sorceress known as Amaranth come from? And what could have spooked Agatha into giving up the chance to mentor her?
