The Marvel Universe is once again in a state of flux as Scarlet Witch takes on the role of the Sorcerer Supreme in a controversial move. This change in leadership coincides with a growing number of supernatural threats emerging in various comics, hinting at an age of magical instability. The recent release of Colossus & Magik #1 under the “Shadows of Tomorrow” banner provides an important clue, suggesting that the Age of Magic has returned.

In this stunning character-driven issue, Illyana and Piotr Rasputin return to Russia, only to be targeted by supernatural creatures sent by Lady Midday, a mythical monster. Lady Midday reveals that the creatures of the night have been hiding for decades but are now emerging as the Age of Magic dawns once more. This narrative aligns with Uncanny X-Men #23, where a group of X-Men in Louisiana face a similar supernatural problem, led by Elsa Bloodstone who desires a return to the spotlight.

The mysterious “Immortal” lurks behind the scenes, granting power to beings like Lady Midday in exchange for those with a magical power signature. As powerful sorcerers and beings stake their claims over different territories, the Marvel Universe braces for the impact of the Age of Magic. Storm: Earth’s Mightiest Mutant #1 offers further insights into this magical upheaval, with Scarlet Witch stepping into the spotlight as the new Sorcerer Supreme.

The prospect of an “Age of Magic” story featuring Scarlet Witch at its center is both thrilling and intriguing. As supernatural forces step out of the shadows and into the light, the Marvel Universe faces a new era of mystical instability. Will this Age of Magic be contained within the X-Men books, or will it unfold as a line-wide event? The possibilities are endless, promising excitement for fans of the X-Men and Scarlet Witch alike.
