Publisher Description. Illyana Rasputina is going solo! The highly-demanded Magik ongoing series hits stands on January 8. Witten by rising star Ashley Allen (X-Men: Blood Hunt – Magik) and drawn by acclaimed artist Germán Peralta (Black Panther, Loki), Magik will pit the X-Men icon against mystical threats targeting the mutant community. Today, check out all the covers and get an exclusive first look at interior artwork.

Among the covers is artist Peach Momoko’s design for new villain, The Demon Crow! Fans can also get a sneak peek at Magik's first encounter with this mysterious foe in the preview. Other covers include pieces from best-selling artists like Jeehyung Lee and David Nakayama, both of which will also be available as virgin variant covers; along with a special foil variant cover by Dike Ruan; and a stunning pinup shot of Magik by Jay Anacleto. Plus, see Peralta’s new design for Illyana's Darkchylde form! Illyana's demonic Darkchylde persona returns from the depths of her tormented soul to offer her more power, but at what cost?

THE MYSTIC MUTANT GOES DEMON HUNTING IN HER OWN SERIES! 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!

From Colossus' kid sister to New Mutant, Illyana Rasputina has climbed the ranks over the years to become the one of the fiercest X-Men, and her long overdue solo adventures will see her unleash her Soulsword, spells, and dark side like never before.
