The X-Man Illyanna Rasputina strikes out on her own with new allies and dark powers arrayed against her. Something ancient has awakened beneath the Alaskan ice. Unfortunately for it, that’s Magik’s territory now!
This January, mutant icon Magik headlines her first ongoing solo series! The X-Men’s resident sorcerer will unleash her Soulsword, spells, and dark side against mystical threats targeting the mutant community.
Written by rising star Ashley Allen, who wrote the character earlier this year in X-Men: Blood Hunt – Magik, and drawn by acclaimed artist Germán Peralta, known for his recent work on Black Panther and last year’s Loki series.

Throughout the series, Magik will also be forced to come to terms with her tragic history and learn to control her demonic Darkchylde persona.
Ashley Allen have the following to say about the series:
“I’m beyond excited to be returning to write Illyana! Supernatural stories featuring characters with hearts of gold are my favorite, so this series has been a dream to write! I can’t wait for readers to experience the adventure we take Magik on to slay some demons … and maybe accept some of her own.”
Geman Peralta shared in a Marvel press release:
“I am very excited about this project, Magik is a character with an incredible background, surrounded by darkness and mystery. Additionally, she is visually spectacular in all her versions, and I personally love Chris Bachalo’s design. I really enjoy drawing action scenes, as well as emotionally-driven scenes, and Ashley Allen writes a super intriguing script, where she balances both of these types of situations, making my job even more fun than it already is. I mean, what artist wouldn’t love to draw Magik with her great sword facing all kinds of demons?”
