Publication history
Volume 1
Their first key series together was published in the beginning of November 1982 which contained four issues. The limited series was written by Bill Mantlo and pencilled by Rick Leonardi. In this series, the villain Magneto is retconned as the father of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver while intending to give up his villainous ways of life. The reveal had some previous clues which were released during Avengers and X-Men titles. This stayed as comic book canon for many decades until it was undone in the 2014 crossover storyline AXIS.
Volume 2
The second series which lasted twelve issues was published in 1985 and was written by Steve Englehart. In this series, Scarlet Witch becomes pregnant magically and delivers two sons. Englehart tried to keep the series self-contained and made the characters resign from the Avengers. He also omitted the theme of racism towards mutants, considering that it was already dealt with in the X-Men titles. The series was focused on family drama rather than superhero exploits. Magic was also a common topic but was toned down in comparison with Englehart's run on Doctor Strange. Englehart lamented that Scarlet Witch's motherhood did not stick, as the children were killed shortly after he ended writing the character.
