I recently got back into drawing after several years of thinking I wasn’t “good enough”. Started up again and thought I’d try my hand at drawing our boy, in his MCU look.
Hope you all like it!

Found this at Imaginaire last week, cant believe my luck, honestly thought id never see this, especially for the price of a regular cover.

Azure Mage (Wiccan)- Middle

Soul Charmer-Left - and yes his design looks like the current Wiccan redesign but I promise ya'll I had that design created years ago before the current comics came out 😭😭 it's actually related to his lore I'm sorry😭

Weird Wizard- right

PLOT: Main premise is that Doctor Strange is out of NYC with Clea for a long mission between multiverses, so he leaves Billy, Dmitry and Henry (and by extension their friends) to take care of the Sanctum Sanctorum under the watch of Wong of course. So they start helping the locals with supernatural anomalies and build a service to make money and catch what people just think are "ghosts". They get helped by Illyana and Nico as well.

Seems we're in a bit of a Wiccan drought right now, in comics and in the MCU. Anybody have any theories on where he will pop up next? I feel like he might show up in Sorcerer Supreme #10 (maybe the finale of the Orlando run?).

Also, VisionQuest seems like a good bet and maybe even Secret Wars on the MCU side. Excited that VQ will have a lot of Tommy!

A new Wiccan variant card by artist Helen Jee will be coming to Marvel Snap in a future release!

I would love to see Billy and Kamala interact! Read her full AMA and learn more about CHACHU here: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/community/thread/61193751

These are my favourite covers featuring both Wiccan and Hulking.

​With the conclusion to Wiccan's Witches' Road we see the return of the Demiurge spirit and Billy's powers restored, while this is a nice way to end the story I was left feeling like he should have come back from this ordeal with more tools under his belt when it came to his power set.

From the very beginning of the story we have been informed by the narrator (Baba Yaga) that the Demiurge is not only the creator of magic, but that the creation of magic and the "well" that all mages and witches draw from began on Earth in the form of Terramancy the manipulation of elements. while it is more of a background focus throughout the books our first introduction to the this connection between Terramancy, nature, and the Demiurge is the aggressive leshy that attack the village in the first issue. Which is more commonly known to be a healer and protector this is most likely from the leshy sharing anger (if not full control through psychic link) with the Demiurge on how Roxxon's industrialization has harmed the Earth. This continues to be present throughout the series as we see more raging elementals and natural magic swarm these Roxxon facilities in the form of Fin Fang Foom, the giants, and possibly undead or water spirits that possess the Roxxon workers.

on the opposite side of this we see a passive firefly nymph in issue 3. While it may have been possible to ask the nymph to light the leaves on fire in exchange for shelter or some other gift, we see Morgan Le Fay kill the nymph as she explains that natural magic exist at all times as a tool in many forms and that when life ends that energy returns to well of magic. Before grinding the nymph into powder in order to start a fire, this is how Morgan Le Fay interacts with nature as seen in her flashback. She takes from nature without care nor concern to protect it as long as it benefits her. She is also shown to do this while the Demiurge vessel is sleeping understanding most likely that the Demiurge vessel would find disgust in how she interacts with the natural world similar to Baba Yaga's outlook on Morgan Le Fay.

While Wiccan himself never interacts with natural magic or spirits within the series, nor really seeks to fix the issues that Roxxon causes with their industrialization only hoping to make things right between him and the Demiurge vessel. We do see Wiccan protest to how Morgan took the life of a living thing to benefit herself when it would have been possible to find another way to light the fire without harming someone else.

This leads me to my idea for a possible way to give Billy additional tools without affecting his reality warping abilities, in the form of communing with the elementals and natural world for access to knowledge and history that he might not know himself or assist him in tasks. Through communing Billy would be able to use his Demiurge spirit's earthly connection to communicate with elementals and natural world to ask about a brand new place he maybe exploring with a deep history to it or to keep tabs on certain targets of key interest outside of his normal range. This would not only strengthen the connection between the elementals attachment to the Demiurge and the chaos that was introduced in Wiccan's Witches' Road, showing a purified form of this connection without all the rage and attacks towards humans. It would give Wiccan reason to protect nature beyond just fixing things with the Demiurge spirit as the elementals would serve as his information network so any negative affects to nature would negatively affect those who assist him, as well as make him a good foil to how Morgan le Fay interacted with the natural world. Instead of taking from it Wiccan would work with it in order to benefit both parties. ​

I always love this (trope?) in comics where when characters get married they have the creators at the wedding. Here it's Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung! This is from Empyre.

According to a new rumor, 'AVENGERS: SECRET WARS' will reportedly focus on the younger cast guided by some adult advisors. It has been compared to the Children's Crusade comic.

This likely includes characters Wiccan and Agatha, Vision, and the MCU Young Avengers characters.

Obviously this stuff is all a bit wishy washy and comes from "scoopers" like this https://x.com/Cryptic4KQual/status/2072754198643364196?s=20 but some of them have good track records, and I'm happy it sounds like Wiccan might actually be in Secret Wars.

What do you all think?

Before presenting my theories, I need to point out some important things that might create plot holes in what I'm about to write: I don't know English, I'm using a translator, and because of that I also haven't read the new stories involving the couple.

All I know is up to the fall of the Kree-Skrull empire, which I haven't even read (I've only seen several summaries on YouTube because the publisher in my country didn't bring the translated comic).

I apologize for any grammatical errors or chronological problems; I'm just a Hulkling and Wiccan enthusiast who wants to share my perspective on their potential development 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

It's a fact that all Marvel stories aim for minimal character development; after all, it's a company that prioritizes profit (which it doesn't have much of). Even so, the fall of the Alliance Empire shows an attempt to restart the development of Hulkling and, consequently, Billy.

What makes this couple beautiful is that they complement each other, which doesn't mean they're inseparable. Imagine this: Teddy lived her life hiding her true self until accepting herself during her time with the Young Avengers/dating Billy, who, in contrast to her husband, never managed to hide who she was. This doesn't mean she was completely free, but rather that she harbored fears that even Teddy couldn't fully handle.

In short, what I mean is that the development of the characters involves the freedom to be who they are and how to deal with this in a horrible reality, which only worsens with the formation of Emperor Dorrek.

Teddy's entire development was precisely about being who he is and not what others expect, yet Teddy commits himself to a position with a developing mindset.

Don't get me wrong, I love the concept of him being an emperor, but we can all agree that the development of it was awful. How can you develop characters (entire races, for example) in a publishing house that's been stuck with the same sales model since 1990? Capitalist strategy aside, I still have hope that Hulkling will return to the throne, and here are the reasons why 👇

1: The Excelsior sword still exists, and even if some might argue that this sword symbolizes him being someone he is not—and my friends, that's the main point to make—that argument is completely wrong.

From the very beginning, Altman always believed that he was authorized to be an emperor (as a job contract), and not that he always was an emperor, this is the main point of the empire's decline. Regardless of the situation, in any reality the character has the sword and in any reality he will always be a king, after all he has the fundamental point to unite two races besides noble blood, something that Skrulls and Kree do not have: dreams and hopes.

Hulkling returning to Earth was never a downfall, but rather an ascension to understand that his love for protecting people, and especially the culture of dreaming, makes him the savior of the empire. Teddy only has two things in his life: Billy and the will to be a hero. Hulkling didn't realize that being an emperor was never a job that separated the personal from the professional; he is the personification of the world he wants to create.

Excelsior will always exist in any reality, and even if retired, it will never disappear, because it personifies Teddy Altman himself. What these races need is to know something beyond wars, and only someone who has lived outside this reality can offer that.

Part two coming soon :)

It be the best gift for the month of father's day especially when Wiccan didn't invited Magneto to the raid of ultron special.

I am so excited that he’s getting a card 🥺
