The Return of Magik

Magik was one of my favorite characters and I eagerly followed her exploits throughout New Mutants for years. Sadly, for whatever reason, she was never a very central character. She became central in the whole S'ym arc (which was a pointed jab at Cerebus creator, Dave Sim - see sidebar), but that did not last very long. Then Magik just... disappeared.

Marvel is pleased to announce that X-Men: Return of Magik, the special must-have collecting the return of Illyana Rasputin, has sold out at Diamond! Fan favorite writers C.B. Cebulski (X-Men: Divided We Stand), and Christopher Yost (X-Force, New X-Men), have brought back one of the most popular mutants – and the fans responded in swarms! Collecting three pivotal stories that led to Magik’s triumphant return, this one-shot leads into the next big X-epic—X-Infernus! With stunning interiors from artists such as David Aja, Niko Henrichon, and David Yardin, X-Men: Return of Magik is a must buy for any X-fan!

Please note that Marvel currently has no plans to go back to press on X-Men: Return of Magik and copies may still be available at the retail level.

Magik is back, but in what form has she returned, and where do her loyalties reside? Explore the origin of Magik and find out the answers to these questions and more in X-Men: Return of Magik!
