Despite having more than enough heroes and villains from the comic books to choose from, Marvel Studios has introduced a fair few original supporting characters over the years. Some have been better than others, but Thor's Darcy Lewis - played by Kat Dennings - remains a firm fan-favourite.

While she vanished after Thor: The Dark World, Darcy would later return in WandaVision before making a cameo appearance in Thor: Love and Thunder. What's next for her remains to be seen, though Darcy will make her comic book debut - following in Agent Coulson's footsteps - in this Wednesday's Scarlet Witch #1

We've known this would be the case for a while, of course, but this preview reveals that she works at Wanda Maximoff's new store and is clearly a trusted ally. 

Darcy also gets to meet the Scarlet Witch's brother, Quicksilver, and it appears both Pietro and Wanda are being given something of a fresh start in the Marvel Universe with this series. 

"There is a door that appears only to those who need it most, who have no one else in the world to turn to," reads the solicitation text. "On the other side of this door is the witchcraft shop. Friend or foe, human or otherwise – if your need is great and your hope is gone, there you will meet the Scarlet Witch!"

"Wanda Maximoff is familiar with hitting rock bottom – and now that she’s finally found peace, she’s pledged all her power to help others who are languishing at their lowest. But when a woman falls through Wanda’s door with a terrifying story of a town gone mad, the Scarlet Witch will have to muster her wits and chaos magic to deal with an insidious threat!"

Steve Orlando (Marauders) writes the series, while Sara Pichelli (Ultimate Spider-Man) is on art duty. As for that gorgeous cover, you can thank Russell Dauterman (The Mighty Thor).

Check out this Scarlet Witch #1 sneak peek below.

Steve Orlando is garbage. There's only a handful of writers at Marvel that I care to loosely follow. Hickman is the only one that can get me into a LCS monthly.

Never understood hate for Darcy. She isn't the greatests comic-relief character in the history of cinema or anything, but hardly MCU's Jar Jar Binks people have made her out to be either.

@FinnishDude - The funny thing about acting is if you are feeling a certain way about a performance usually that means the actor accomplished their job, good or bad. Reminds a little of T.J. Miller in terms of performance anyway. Darcy's character came into her own by the time of WandaVision imo. She had her own degree and expertise by then.

Darcy was great in Wandavision.

Has Scarlet Witch de-aged? She looks like a teenager in this art. It's a legit question in comics haha i am being serious.

@TheManWithoutFear - Modern Marvel comics are basically like cartoons. Nobody ages, nobody ever stays dead, nobody ever marries. There is no continuity anymore, except for magical continuity. This goes for DC too.

If the fans would just let them reboot properly, these things might still be respectable works of fiction.

@ObserverIO - That's quite an interesting take, that there is no continuity anymore. For a lot of people i assume that continuity was the best part of comics, like soap operas or serial dramas. I know for me reading the likes of Claremont's X-Men or Stan Lee's Spider-Man the serial aspect was what made them so great. But then times change.

I'm not really rooting for a reboot, but then again i stopped reading comics a long time ago now so i guess i shouldn't really get a vote.

@TheManWithoutFear - for me, continuity was THE main reason I enjoyed comics so much as a kid. I would pick up a new series at say, issue #9 (like I did with Micronauts) and then immediately go seek out the first eight issues to find out what I missed. Without that impetus I don't know if I would've ever stuck with any of them.

@GreedoSarducci - i agree with the theory of that (and i think i am the same) but if you go and buy Action Comics #1050 you aren't going to backfill 1000 issues of Superman. So maybe they sort of have to do this cartoon approach (as Oberver said). I don't know honestly.

@ObserverIO - I really hate that. And it’s the same group complaining too like it’s your fault they won’t do anything new cause all y’all do is complain about it

@TheManWithoutFear - that's true of today, with being so high in the numbering scheme. But a character like Superman is already well established so you wouldn't need to go all the way back.

I started Fantastic Four with issue #236 so it was already too expensive to get every back issue (#1 was selling in the hundreds back then) but I did get a lot of them to help fill in the story. Learned enough about their origin from all that, though I still wish I could've had the complete FF run.

@ObserverIO - Uh, almost all superheroes never age beginning in 1938.

@TheManWithoutFear - Even with his silver/gray hair, Pietro looks like a teenager too.

@RolandD - That's not true.

Golden Age DC characters had a birth date and aged appropriately. Even though they were replaced by the Silver Age versions, the older versions continued on Earth 2. Even the Silver Age versions aged appropriately.

DC softboots it's continuity often, which means that a sliding timescale is rarely needed. Currently their continuity is a magical reality in which "Everything happened".

Marvel characters also aged appropriately from 1939 until the '70s when the sliding timescale was applied.

Most independent comic book superheroes age appropriately.

When comic book characters first appeared, it wasn't accepted as common for fictional characters to not age, unless there was some specific reason for it.

Even Looney Tunes cartoons were expected to be old in the year 2000 (as a couple of their wartime-era cartoons pointed out).

I love how Dauterman made clear designs for the costume, with the headpiece having engravings in it similar to the MCU, and then the first artist (who happens to be the main artist for her series) promptly ignores it and just uses her old headpiece. Genuinely not a complaint, both look good, I just find it hilarious that he wasted his time 😂

Comics seem to follow the movies habit of burning through throwaway villains just for a cheap skit.

If you're gonna draw Darcy, there's a couple of things you gotta get right. Sara Pichelli obviously knew this.
