WandaVision sends several Marvel comic books back to print
Now that WandaVision has come to its thrilling conclusion, fans are flocking to the comics to find out more about Wanda and Vision’s journey together so Marvel has sent several comics back to print to meet the demand.
It’s no secret that every comic book movie and television series that comes to life has ties to a comic book story. Whether it’s an obscure reference found in a single issue to following the blueprint set forth by an entire comic book arc, comic books and comic book shows and movies go hand in hand.
There are several key Scarlet Witch and Vision stories within the Marvel Universe, many of which were tapped in making the series. Though Marvel’s vast comic book library can be found on Comixology and Marvel Unlimited, fans are clamoring for printed copies of the books. And who can blame them, really? While digital comics are convenient and easy to access, nothing will ever beat a printed comic book.

There are many Scarlet Witch and Vision stories to read for fans who want to learn more about Marvel’s power couple, but there are a few stories that stand out more than others.
The Vision is a good starting point for anyone who wants to see what Vision’s life as a family man could be like. The first issue of the 12-issue series came out in November 2019, pairing Tom King’s story with Gabriel Hernandez Walta’s art, and colors by Jordie Bellaire. It was an immediate success that was charming and unnerving at the same time. It went on to win an Eisner Award for best limited series.
There’s also Vision and the Scarlet Witch (1982) by Steve Englehardt, with art from Don Heck and Bill Mantlo. For Wanda fans, James Robinson’s Scarlet Witch (2015) is not to be missed. And to understand how Wanda could tear the universe apart and rebuild it, the House of M arc in Marvel’s 2005 event series will explain a lot of the Easter eggs you might have missed.

It’s nice to see the bridge between comic book movies and the comic books the movies are based upon. While the movies and shows soar, comic books are often left behind even though they have some of the most compelling stories around. Knowing that WandaVision has sparked a series of reprints is encouraging and it’s something that should continue because it’s all part of the same universe.
