Wanda Maximoff’s Dark Counterpart Lore Returns In Scarlet Witch #3

Share This Post

+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 Joëlle Jones, and preorder Scarlet Witch #1 at your local comic shop today! For more information, visit Marvel.com.
