The upcoming Stephen Strange: Sorcerer Supreme comic should be about him undoing Scarlet Witch’s “chaotic curse” over all of magic.

The storyline picks up with Stephen Strange feeling something strange and different about magic. The first thing he does is go to reclaim his vestments and gain guidance from the Vishanti abt how to fix magic, only to encounter the Vishanti praising the Scarlet Witch for her “liberation” of magic across all reality.

Stephen Strange gets suspicious. He’s been unable to track Maximoff anywhere. He feels magic is cursed and twisted now, lacking the order that once made his spellcraft important. Now it’s unpredictable, tainted by “chaos.” Since Oshtur was, by her own words, “remade” by Wanda, he believes she is somehow trapped under her spell:

Strange*: “Aren’t you Oshtur!? Mother of Mysticism!? What kind of mother watches their child die? She would have never let this happen!”*

Oshtur*: “I am reborn, liberated by the Scarlet Witch. No longer rigid—suffocated underneath the iron fist. It was all going to be destroyed. Maximoff, as Sorcerer Supreme, paid the price.”*

Strange*: “MAGIC has paid the price! [blah blah blah you get it. He explains that Maiximoff is the one that got them into that mess anyway with the Extinction King due to her attacking and wounding the Vishanti]*

Basically the whole plot is he believes magic is cursed now, and the Vishanti, Wong, everyone is praising Wanda for her actions and he believes they’re all trapped under her spell.

The entire arc is about him investigating and undoing it, while having to adjust to the lawlessness of using the new magic.

“No More Brood.”

The Karakoan Era will be missed. Remember when the Five wanted to use a backup of Wanda to erase all Brood from the entire universe, believing Wanda could do it with a simple phrase.
