The Scarlet Witch will return in January in a brand-new ongoing solo series! A groundbreaking new chapter for one of Marvel Comics’ most beloved characters, SCARLET WITCH will be written by Steve Orlando, known for his thrilling current run of Marauders and last year’s Darkhold saga, and drawn by artist Sara Pichelli, the superstar talent known for her acclaimed work on titles such as Ultimate Spider-Man. Together these two comic powerhouses will open the door to a new era of adventures, mysteries, and quests that only a hero with Wanda Maximoff’s breathtaking and unmatched mystical abilities are fit for!
Following her redemption in the pages of X-Men: Trial of Magneto, Wanda is reborn as the hero the Marvel Universe needs her to be! Making the most of her fresh start, Wanda uses her powers in a glorious new way and embraces a new calling to help those who need it the most. Experience one the most powerful magic-wielders on the planet at her very best in the series Scarlet Witch fans have been asking for!
There is a door that appears only to those who need it most, who have no one else in the world to turn to. On the other side of this door is a mysterious witchcraft shop. Friend or foe, human or otherwise–if your need is great and your hope is gone, there you will meet the SCARLET WITCH! Wanda Maximoff is familiar with hitting rock bottom–and now that she’s finally found peace, she’s pledged all her power to help others who are languishing at their lowest. But when a woman falls through Wanda’s door with a terrifying story of a town gone mad, the Scarlet Witch will have to muster her wits and chaos magic to deal with an insidious threat!
“Since I first stepped into the House of Ideas, the Scarlet Witch has been with me—in fact, she was the star of my first Marvel work ever, kicking ass, weaving spells, and humbling Doom in Darkhold! So, there was no way I could pass up the chance to work on SCARLET WITCH,” Orlando said. “Wanda Maximoff has finally broken free of the shadows she’s wrestled with for years. And now? Sara Pichelli, Russell Dauterman, and I are unveiling the next chapter of her powerful, improbable, magical life. When you have nowhere else to turn…you turn to the Scarlet Witch. And God help anyone who gets in her way.”
“You have been waiting Scarlet Witch solo return for so long!” Pichelli added. “Finally that time has come and I’m truly honored my art was chosen to make this happen. Can’t wait for you to see the book.”
Check out the first spellbinding cover by Russell Dauterman, who also designed Wanda’s new costume, and be there when Scarlet Witch embarks on her greatest journey yet this January! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

The historic program, which was created by the White House to commemorate the establishment of Hispanic Heritage Month in America, is among the highest honors by Latinos for Latinos and supported by 40 national Hispanic-serving institutions. (An announcement about HHF’s in-person Hispanic heritage celebration in Washington, DC, is forthcoming.)
Modeled on the same format which set new ratings records for the broadcast across the last two years, this year’s presentation will once again feature intimately filmed segments captured on location across the United States and Latin America. In addition to the exclusive honoree profiles (detailed again below), the show will be hosted by actress Stephanie Beatriz – widely known for voicing the character of Mirabel Madrigal in Disney’s Oscar-winning 2021 film Encanto, as well as her portrayal of Carla in the motion picture adaption of In The Heights, and as Detective Rosa Diaz in the action-comedy tv series Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Continuing the Hispanic Heritage Awards’ long-running tradition of also celebrating the richness and stylistic diversity of Hispanic music and culture, the 35th anniversary broadcast will once again spotlight special musical guests spanning from established superstars to the introduction of essential new voices that will carry the communities’ music well into the future. This year, that collection features multi-GRAMMY and/or LATIN GRAMMY winners such as Colombian Vallenato champion and previous Hispanic Heritage Award honoree Carlos Vives, beloved Mexican singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas, and one of Cuba’s leading Timba/tropical music ambassadors Aymée Nuviola. Standouts of a new generation are also represented by already Platinum certified Panamanian Urban singer-songwriter Boza,, Interscope signed rising Puerto Rican star Robi (who will perform a heartfelt tribute to LEGEND honoree Daddy Yankee), and the first national TV performance of Cuban raised, and now Nashville based captivating rock guitarist and singer Hector Tellez Jr, – whose prowess already finds him backed by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Peter Buck, and Seattle Rock Scene veterans Barrett Martin (producer & drums) and bassist Dune Butler.
“We are thrilled to honor yet another inspirational class of Hispanic Heritage Awardees, and to pay tribute to them through these amazing performers and entertainers on the PBS broadcast,” said Jose Antonio Tijerino, president and CEO of HHF. “Thanks to PBS and our corporate partners we will be able to share our celebration of cultural pride, accomplishment, and vision with all of America during Hispanic Heritage Month and year-round. Stay tuned for our announcement for the in-person celebration.”
Presented by TARGET with Official Broadcast Sponsorship by Nationwide, and hosted by Google, the 35th Annual Hispanic Heritage Awards will air Friday, September 30th on PBS stations and stream on Public Broadcasting Service and the PBS Video app. This year’s deserving honorees spotlighted throughout the broadcast and announced over the past two months are trailblazing Reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee, Marvel Studios executive producer Victoria Alonso, Oscar Winner Ariana Debose, multiple GRAMMY winners Los Lobos, aviation pioneer Olga Custodio and ‘Back To The Roots’ co-founders Alejandro Velez & Nikhil Arora.

THE NEW ARC OF THOR SHEDS LIGHT ON THANOS’ DARK HISTORY WITH ASGARD!
Guest writer Torunn Grønbekk and returning artist Nic Klein kick off “The Legacy of Thanos” in THOR #29, on sale in December.
In the opening arc of Donny Cates and Nic Klein’s hit run of THOR, fans witnessed a disturbing vision of the Mad Titan Thanos laying waste to the Marvel Universe! Since then, Thor has done everything in his power to prevent this future from coming to pass, but has it been enough? Find out as this brewing plot comes to the forefront in a brand new arc starting December titled “The Legacy of Thanos.” The arc will be penned by guest writer Torunn Grønbekk who will join returning series artist and newly christened Stormbreaker Nic Klein for an adventure starring Thor and the Valkyrie Rúna. The arc will spin directly out of THANOS: DEATH NOTES, the oversized Thanos one-shot hitting stands in November, and it will serve as a pivotal prelude to Cates and Klein’s future plans for Thanos’ upcoming conquest.
When a universally loathed foe kidnaps Thor’s baby sister Laussa and drags her so deep beyond Hel that not even Sif’s All-Sight can see her, the God of Thunder must call upon the one ally who has traveled so far into the unknown before: Rúna. But what dark secrets of Asgard’s bloody past lay beneath the frozen waters?
“There is something incredibly inventive and bold about Donny and Nic’s Thor, and it’s been an absolute delight to guest-write a story for this run,” Grønbekk said. “It’s turning out to be just the kind of thing I love – big swings, solid character moments and deeply human solutions. Also, Nic is impossibly good. There is a special kind of joy to see his pages come together. I don’t think I’ve ever had this much fun making comics!”
Check out the cover below and pick up the start of this thrilling new arc of THOR on December 7!

Today, an all-new Spider-Hero story kicks off in SPIDER-VERSE UNLIMITED INFINITY COMIC #15. The first issue in the six story arc is now available on Marvel Unlimited in the exclusive Infinity Comics format.
On writing the new story arc, creator J. Holtham says, “I love Miles because Miles is, well, me. I was an awkward Black kid, originally from Brooklyn, living in New Jersey and desperately wishing I had super-powers. Writing for Miles is a real full circle moment for me. I love his determination, his optimism, his big heart. That’s what makes it fun.”
As for the school-life balance Miles is trying to maintain, J. Holtham says, “With both of these story arcs, we’re exploring exactly that: How does Miles balance his hero life with his academic ambitions? Which one is more important? Which one defines who he really is? Being a teenager is such a time of change and development, and when you add battling Super Villains on top of that, it’s kind of a lot. Finding that balance is the heart of the story.”
Miles Morales was excited to attend Einstein College’s program for gifted high schoolers. But now his new friends have glowing eyes and are hunting him like prey, and his old friend Ms. Marvel has become his enemy. Can this day get any worse?

This National Preparedness Month, Anheuser-Busch is Mobilizing Communities Nationwide to Take a Big Step in Disaster Preparedness Efforts, Starting with One Small, Life-Saving Photo
The Brewer Launches Second Annual “Prepare For Your Pets” Campaign to Highlight the Importance of Disaster Preparedness for All Family Members
Building on its consistent and long-standing commitment to disaster relief and preparedness efforts, Anheuser-Busch announces the second annual “Prepare For Your Pets” campaign. By continuing the strong partnership with American Humane and American Red Cross, Anheuser-Busch will expand relief efforts and raise awareness of disaster preparedness for both people and pets. The newly launched website, PrepareForYourPets.com, will serve as a hub for pet owners to find information on how to prepare for a disaster to keep people and their pets safe.
Anheuser-Busch has a proud history of disaster relief and preparedness efforts, including its flagship emergency drinking water program through its longstanding partnership with the American Red Cross dating back to 1906. In the spirit of preparedness, the brewer will also be conducting runs of emergency drinking water at its Fort Collins, CO, and Cartersville, GA, breweries to replenish its stock of emergency drinking water following recent relief efforts to provide cans of water after severe flooding, wildfires and other disasters that have affected communities nationwide.
Disaster preparedness plans often overlook plans for pets. In fact, while 83% of pet owners live in communities that are threatened by natural disasters, only 46% have family plans in place[1]. While pet owners can often be found snapping photos of their pets, a physical photo can play a critical role in the development of a family or community disaster preparedness plan
As part of the 2022 “Prepare For Your Pets” campaign, Anheuser-Busch is creating the opportunity for pet owners to print a physical photo of themselves and their pets to have on hand in the event of a natural disaster or crisis. This photo can increase owners’ chances of being reunited with their pet, should their phone be misplaced, damaged, or run out of battery. To encourage pet owners to take this essential step, Anheuser-Busch, in partnership with photo printing service Mpix, will cover the costs to get photos directly to people’s homes.
“In almost every corner of our country, communities are at risk of natural disasters. This National Preparedness Month, we are leveraging our reach to highlight the importance of preparing for the entire
family, including pets who cannot plan for themselves,” said Colleen Lucas, Vice President of Community Impact at Anheuser-Busch. “Together with our commitment to preparing emergency drinking water throughout the year, we stand ready to support people as they plan for disasters and emergencies in their homes, businesses, and communities.”
Anheuser-Busch’s very own beloved pets, the world-renowned Budweiser Clydesdales, will honor National Preparedness Month by visiting two “Prepare For Your Pets” Fairs during the month. The fairs will take place in Knoxville, TN in partnership with Eagle Distributing Company and in Fort Collins, CO, at the company’s Fort Collins Brewery & Biergarten, which will give guests an opportunity to take a photo with their pet and provide valuable disaster planning resources.
Additionally, the Anheuser-Busch Foundation will provide a $200,000 donation to American Humane to assist its rescue operations and expand the distribution of emergency drinking water to pet shelters and rescue efforts during and after natural disasters.
“From natural disasters to animal cruelty investigations, American Humane is on the front lines protecting animals and saving lives in times of crises,” said Dr. Robin Ganzert, American Humane’s President and CEO. “We are grateful to Anheuser-Busch for supporting our critical rescue efforts. We also want to arm pet owners with the knowledge and tools needed to help keep their pets and families safe when disaster strikes. Having a disaster preparedness plan in place will not only help save the lives of our beloved animals, but also the lives of owners, volunteers and first responders.”
To mark National Preparedness Month and their continued partnership, the Anheuser-Busch Foundation will also be donating $1 million to the Red Cross’ Annual Disaster Giving Program (ADGP) to help ensure the Red Cross can take immediate action for communities in need.
“We’re honored to count Anheuser-Busch as a valued member of our Annual Disaster Giving Program,” said Gail McGovern, President and CEO at the American Red Cross. “ADGP members are truly unique because their generous contributions to the Red Cross in advance of disasters allow us to prepare communities nationwide for emergencies and to respond immediately with food, shelter and care after a disaster strikes to help people in need. Anheuser-Busch goes a step further in also supplying the Red Cross with emergency drinking water to disaster operations nationwide. We are deeply grateful for their long-standing and impactful partnership.”
For over three decades, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesaler partners have worked alongside the American Red Cross to provide clean drinking water to those in need during all stages of natural disasters and other crises. To date, Anheuser-Busch has provided over 90 million cans of Emergency Drinking Water to affected communities across the country.
About Anheuser-Busch
At Anheuser-Busch, our purpose is to create a future with more cheers. We are always looking to serve up new ways to meet life’s moments, dream big to move our industry forward, and make a meaningful impact in the world. We hope to build a future that everyone can celebrate, and everyone can share.

“Max Drazen is the kind of musician you want to keep on repeat.” – PEOPLE
“’Caffeine’ [is] a sonic paradise of easygoing sentiments alongside touches of witty wordplay…a refreshing take on traditional pop.” – EUPHORIA. Magazine
“Max Drazen is already proving himself as a promising songwriter with sky-high limits… his voice is sultry, but with just a touch of reminiscence and nostalgic innocence that would with no doubt reminds you of simple fun.” – Earmilk
Max Drazen plays a sleepy, carefree bachelor who becomes putty in the hands of a new love who’s determined to “fix” him in the official video for “Caffeine.” Directed by Mike Dones and shot in Los Angeles, the vibrant visual matches the sly humor of Drazen’s self-penned lyrics and provides a tongue-in-cheek reminder that love can be a life-changing, motivating force for even the most unwilling participants. View “Caffeine” HERE.
“This was my first music video and I loved every minute of it – from coming up with the concept, to the phone calls, to finding the location, etc.,” says Max Drazen. “The video is meant to have a light, fun vibe so on set we were messing around and having as much fun as possible. I hope the fun we had while filming is reflected in the video itself.”
Naming Drazen as one of the summer’s notable emerging artists, PEOPLE said, “Max Drazen is the kind of musician you want to keep on repeat.” The New Nine noted, “Max Drazen’s pop songs are catchy and the perfect soundtrack for your car ride.” Hailing Drazen as “a promising songwriter with sky-high limits,” EARMILK said, “his voice is sultry, but with just a touch of reminiscence and nostalgic innocence that would with no doubt reminds you of simple fun.”
Praising “Caffeine” as “a sonic paradise,” EUPHORIA. Magazine observed, “Already demonstrating his skills as a lyrical tycoon with a sound that surpasses the singular categories of a typical genre, Drazen is in the ideal space to mold himself into the pop star he’s meant to be.” Released last month by Field Trip Recordings / Capitol Records, “Caffeine” was highlighted in Entertainment Tonight’s new music releases and appeared on Ones To Watch’ “Now Watching” Spotify playlist. Check out the retro-styled lyric video for “Caffeine,” which features Drazen, HERE. Anticipation for the track, which he wrote and recorded with producer Dave Villa (FLETCHER, Daughtry), has been building since July 2021, when Drazen teased it in a TikTok video and amassed a million views in the first 24 hours.
Born and raised in Connecticut, Drazen’s first influences came from his parents’ record collection – Elton John and Billy Joel. As he got older, he fell in love with artists like Smino, Justin Timberlake, Jon Bellion and Two Door Cinema Club. The pieces would connect during his junior year of high school when Drazen went over to a friend’s house and wrote his first song. Although recruited to play soccer at Middlebury College, he found his focus shifting to songwriting. He developed a sinewy, genre-agnostic voice and centered his authentic perspective as a kid from the ‘burbs, adeptly swinging between R&B, pop and rap. Drazen claimed a spot on Billboard’s list of “10 Cool New Pop Songs to Get You Through The Week” with his very first single, “Let Me Down Slow,” which was released in May 2022.
The USA dominates the world’s Top 20 cities with the most millionaires in 2022, with New York taking the crown with 345,600 millionaires, and five other American cities — San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Dallas — securing places on the coveted world’s wealthiest cities ranking. Tokyo is in 2nd place with 304,900 resident high-net-worth individuals worth over USD 1 million, and London, the wealthiest city in the world for many years, drops to 4th place below the San Francisco Bay Area with just 272,400 millionaires, according to the latest Henley Global Citizens Report, which tracks private wealth migration trends worldwide.
Two Chinese cities, Beijing (9th) and Shanghai (10th), make it into the Top 10, and Switzerland and Australia each manage to secure two top city spots, with Sydney (11th), Zurich (15th), Melbourne (17th), and Geneva (19th) all making the cut. Singapore (5th), Hong Kong (SAR China) (12th), Frankfurt (13th), Toronto (14th), Seoul (16th), and finally Paris, plummeting 3 places to 20th, make up the rest of the 2022 ranking.
The report features exclusive data from the global wealth intelligence firm New World Wealth, and includes the five wealthiest cities in each major region, and the 25 fastest growing cities in terms of millionaire growth.
Dr. Juerg Steffen, CEO of Henley & Partners, points out that 14 of the Top 20 are in countries that host investment migration programs. “The right to live, work, study, and invest in leading international wealth hubs such as New York, London, Singapore, Sydney, and Toronto can be secured via residence by investment. Being able to relocate yourself, your family, or your business to a more favorable city or have the option to choose between multiple different residences across the world is an increasingly important aspect of international wealth and legacy planning for private clients.”
The millionaire populations of Dubai, Mumbai, and Shenzhen are expected to break into the Top 20 wealthiest cities by 2030, according to Andrew Amoils, Head of Research at New World Wealth. “Cities with strong oil and gas industries are performing especially well this year, including the likes of Riyadh, Sharjah, Luanda, Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Lagos. Others on the fastest-growing list include Lugano, a Swiss hotspot for affluent retirees, Bengaluru, the ‘Silicon Valley of India’, and Hangzhou, one of China’s most scenic cities.”
Commenting on the latestHenley Global Citizens Report,Dr. José Caballero, Senior Economist at the IMD World Competitiveness Center, says “quality of life is a fundamental driver of global mobility, and for business executives, high living standards and effective institutions are significant city drawcards.”
Dr. Steffen agrees, saying “cities are centers of opportunity, innovation, prosperity, and culture. We’ve seen record growth this year, with more and more high-net-worth investors exploring investment migration solutions that offer location fluidity and optionality, enabling them to live and conduct their businesses across a wide range of different jurisdictions and cities.”
