Marvel’s new Sorcerer Supreme is Revealed!

Posted on by

In the wake of Victor Von Doom’s fall, a new Sorcerer Supreme rises to take his place in Sorcerer Supreme, an ongoing series launching in December. Since it was announced, the mysterious series has kept fans guessing over which magical hero would receive the mantle. It has now been revealed along with the series’ creative team!

Wanda Maximoff has been many things, a mother, an Avenger and the Scarlet Witch. Now, Wanda claims a new title: Sorcerer Supreme! Follow her adventures as Earth’s primary mystical defender this December in Sorcerer Supreme, written by Scarlet Witch scribe Steve Orlando and artist Bernard Chang. Fan favorite artist Leirix will deliver spellbinding main covers. Superstar Scarlet Witch artist Russell Dauterman also returns to grace Wanda with a costume befitting her new title and provide variant covers for the first five issues. Each of Dauterman’s covers will spotlight a member of Wanda’s advisory council, including Clea, Chthon, Wiccan and more magical experts!

Defying tradition and breaking every rule, Scarlet Witch charts a bold, new path as the Sorcerer Supreme! But will her rebellious approach to the role bring magic in the Marvel Universe to new heights or leave it in ruin?

The Vishanti, unwilling to validate Wanda’s claim, anoint their own Sorcerer Supreme—AGATHA HARKNESS! Following a fiery battle with her former mentor, Wanda wakes up in Limbo where nothing is as it seems. And if she’s going to escape, she must first defeat its ruler…MADELYNE PRYOR! And with Wanda and the Vishanti distracted, what rising mystical threats have escaped their notice? Determined to fulfill her sacred new duty, Wanda expands her scope and redefines her power to protect the world like no Sorcerer Supreme ever has!

Check out the first three main covers by Leirix along with variant covers by Rose Besch, Mark Brooks, Devmalya Pramanik, and Jenny Frison. In addition, check out the first three of Russell Dauterman’s variant covers as well as a variant cover spotlighting his original design sheet for Wanda’s new look. Plus, Inhyuk Lee captures the current state of Marvel magic in newly revealed connecting covers for Wiccan: Witches’ Road #1, Doctor Strange #1, and Sorcerer Supreme #1, all on sale in December, and artist Geoff Shaw’s Winter Break Variant Cover for Sorcerer Supreme #1 is unveiled!

The Fantastic Four Face the Malice of… The Invincible Woman!

Posted on by

This December, learn what would happen if the most powerful member of the Fantastic Four held nothing back with the debut of THE INVINCIBLE WOMAN! A twisted, alternate version of Invisible Woman, Invincible Woman will headline an upcoming arc of writer Ryan North and artist Humberto Ramos’ celebrated run of Fantastic Four, starting with issue #6. Driven mad by her power and tormented by a tragic mistake that cost her everything, Invincible Woman resembles Malice, Sue’s dark persona that was first unleashed by Psycho Man during John Byrne’s legendary run on the title.

After being added to Marvel Rivals earlier this year, Sue’s iconic Malice costume became one of the game’s most sought-after costumes. To celebrate its popularity, Fantastic Four #6 will include a redeem code for players to unlock an exclusive new in-game MALICE WILL RULE spray. (Terms and conditions apply. See book for details.) Fans can check out the main covers for Fantastic Four #6-8 along with newly revealed variant covers, including a Hidden Gem variant cover by Malice creator John Bryne. Fantastic Four #6 will also feature a special Marvel Rivals variant cover spotlighting artwork from the game.

“GET SUE STORM. SO SAYS GALACTUS!”

When a message hidden in the structure of reality is decoded, Sue Storm becomes the most wanted super hero in the universe. And that makes both her – and planet Earth – a target for invasion! The Fantastic Four venture into space to answer Galactus’ call, and together, they’ll discover the terrifying mystery of the INVINCIBLE WOMAN, forcing Sue to confront possibilities of her powers that she never dared to imagine! Meanwhile, back on Earth, the junior Fantastic Four step up in the main team’s absence!

It all begins in FANTASTIC FOUR #6–THE INVINCIBLE WOMAN, PART 1!

Extremophile aliens have invaded Earth! Their plan: stop the planet’s rotation so the same side always faces the sun, and then colonize that boiling, deadly side for themselves. Only the Fantastic Four can save the Earth from destruction! But none of their powers involve altering the Earth’s rotation…or do they? And when the Wizard takes advantage of the chaos to attack the Baxter Building, there may be more going on here than meets the eye – including a discovery that’ll change the fate of the Fantastic Four forever! Science, family and punching collide in this issue. PLUS: The beginnings of the all-new Future Foundation?

Announced at ComicsPro, Bring on the Bad Guys is a seven-part event celebrating the nearly 50 year legacy of the groundbreaking Bring on the Bad Guys trade paperback.

The overarching saga will be spearheaded by Emmy Award-winning writer Marc Guggenheim who kick things off in Bring on the Bad Guys: Doctor Doom alongside acclaimed artist Stefano Raffaele and delivers the event’s epic conclusion in Bring on the Bad Guys: Mephisto.
