Marvel Pulls the Plug on Scarlet Witch After Just 10 Issues, Steve Orlando Exits

Wanda Maximoff's solo book is coming to an abrupt end. Scarlet Witch #10, out this week, closes out Steve Orlando's run after barely a year on shelves, with Marvel itself framing the finale as a season-ending turning point for the character rather than a straightforward cancellation.

Orlando relaunched Scarlet Witch in 2024 alongside artists Sara Pichelli and Jacopo Camagni, pitching Wanda as a wandering problem-solver drifting between magical crises. Reporting around the finale suggests Marvel intends to bring the character back in some form down the line, but early signs point to a shakeup behind the scenes rather than Orlando simply continuing the story - a reversal Orlando himself reportedly anticipated months before the announcement.

No replacement writer or artist has been named yet, and Marvel hasn't detailed what a future Wanda Maximoff project would look like or when it might surface. For now, #10 stands as the last word on this incarnation of the series.
