Everything is, indeed, awesome, as Tegan Quin of Tegan and Sara (and best-selling author) will make her Marvel Comics debut with the publisher’s annual Pride special, Wiccan & Hulking: Raid of Ultron #1. And just how she is a twin, she’ll write a story about twins: Wiccan and Speed.
“As a twin myself, I truly can’t think of two characters in the Marvel Universe I would have been more excited to write than Wiccan and Speed,” Quin said via press release. “Making my Marvel debut with this story isn’t just a thrill, it feels downright magical! And let’s just say Ultrons aren’t that different from certain folks I’ve encountered in the record industry over the years, so spending a few pages crushing one into oblivion was deeply cathartic.”
In the new special, the interlinking stories will find Ultron attacking the complicated family of Scarlet Witch and Vision, including the title characters Wiccan and Hulkling, Phylla-Vel, Speed and more.
“I see so much of Sara and me in Wiccan and Speed, especially in how their lives are starting to diverge,” Quin added. “Sara and I are both married, but she has two kids and I don’t have any, and that’s created the first real shift in how we experience adulthood—she’s living a totally different day to day life than me. Still, no matter how different our paths become, the genetic bond—the experience of being identical twins—can’t be replicated or replaced. It’s something singular that binds us, and I thought about that constantly while writing this story. Half of Sara and my career success probably comes down to our banter—people love watching us tease, fight, and resolve conflict—so I definitely leaned into that dynamic on the page hoping people might enjoy that with Wiccan and Speed!”
Wiccan & Hulking: Raid of Ultron #1 hits stores on May 27, 2026. Check out covers by Russell Dauterman, Luciano Vecchio, and Javier Garrón, as well as solicit info and breakdowns of the stories (via PR from Marvel) below.
