Crypt of Shadows (2024), on sale 10/16

Marvel's annual Halloween anthology, Crypt of Shadows, returns this year, with Agatha Harkness as the new host and narrator. Previous installments featured Victor Strange, Dr. Strange's vampiric brother who spent years trapped as a ghost in the titular crypt. Following the events of Blood Hunt, Victor escaped his prison, only to be taken captive by Baron Mordo. Now, Agatha is filling his role in a framing narrative written by Steve Orlando-- and based on the synopsis, I suspect that this will tie into her upcoming storyline in Scarlet Witch.

Wanda and Vision will be featured in one of the anthology's short stories. It looks like they'll be getting ready for a Halloween party when an unexpected guest arrives through the Last Door-- Joshua Jovan, an original character from the M C U who's making his first appearance in Marvel comics. I don't have any particular feelings about that, but I would be remiss if I didn't point out Wanda's costume-- the idea of witches wearing pointed hats is ahistorical, and while its exact origins are not known, many such images and characters, even in modern media, are based on racist and/or anti-semitic tropes. I don't think that this sort of costume is inherently problematic, but it's not something I would choose for Wanda. This is a good example of a situation where we could be making more thoughtful decisions, based on the character's race and relationship to witch tropes and archetypes.
