Her name is Witchfire, which is one of the better names in this series. If you’ve ever heard anecdotes from people who worked for Marvel at that time, you know “financial trouble” is putting it mildly. Having read Avataars: Covenant of the Shield, I cannot imagine anyone wanting twelve issues of it.
#WITCHFIRE SWORD SERIES#
Marvel was in financial trouble at the time, and a twelve-issue series was not considered viable, so the creative team instead produced a three-issue prologue to the main saga, an unsuccessful attempt to generate sufficient interest in a longer story. Wikipedia, citing a long-vanished Tom Brevoort interview, says this:Īvataars: Covenant of the Shield was initially intended as a twelve-issue project featuring the established Marvel characters in a fantasy setting, but the story that was originally planned was never published. Sort of like Uncanny X-Men Volume 1 #190-191 or the opening arc of Avengers Volume 3, but bad. Now onto number 10!Īvataars: Covenant of the Shield is a three-issue miniseries set in a Sword and Sorcery version of the Marvel Universe. For the purposes of this list, I will only be covering comic books and not other mediums. However, I have recently been awakened to the shocking knowledge that The Internet Likes Lists, and it gave me the idea of listing – and discussing – some of the better alternate universe versions of Wanda. I didn’t consider most of them to be worth talking about because there’s not much to say. There’s a good reason for that: Original Flavor 616 Wanda is the best, and the others are not the best. Alternate versions of characters are a big deal in superhero comics, but they’re not something I usually go into on this blog.
