The second twelve-issue series was published in 1985, and was written by Steve Englehart, who had already worked with the characters in the Avengers comic book. In this second series, the Scarlet Witch becomes pregnant by magical means and delivers two sons. Englehart tried to keep the series self-contained, and made the characters resign from the Avengers to avoid having to stick to their events. He also omitted the theme of the racism towards mutants, considering that it was already dealt with at the X-Men‘s series. The comic book was more focused on family drama than superhero exploits. Magic was also a common topic but it was toned down in comparison with Englehart’s run on Doctor Strange. Englehart lamented that the Scarlet Witch’s motherhood did not stick, as the children were killed shortly after he ended writing the character.
