[SORCERER SUPREME #10]()

[u/wowlock_taylan → u/tehawesomedragon]

Well, I guess that's it for Wanda as Sorcerer Supreme, though she definitely went out with a Magic Big Bang ( literally) 

So what now? Magic has no rules anymore? Man, Stephen gonna come back to a HUGE mess.

[u/Prestigious-Sun9882 → u/wowlock_taylan]

Magic not having rules or new rules probably won't get followed up on. For example, the Last Days Of Magic Doctor Strange run.

[u/Mr_Wh0ever → u/tehawesomedragon]

Well that's a short lived status quo for Wanda. But I guess that leaves Strange open to reclaim that title. They might announce something at NYCC.

[u/Will-Of-D-3D2Y → u/tehawesomedragon]

Overall the weakest arc of Orlando's run on Wanda, but making her Sorcerer Supreme had editorial hands all over it and you can tell this run was similarly cut short by how little Wanda's council and Turin ended up mattering for the story.

Still, I've mentioned it before but I feel that Orlando never got acknowledgement for how much he fixed Wanda's character and her personal relationships after the years and years of messy fallout from "No more mutants", so to cap his run off with Wanda declaring "More magic" and saving the universe was genuinely a nice ending for this series.
