Illyana Gets a New Darkchilde Form in a First Look at ‘Magik’ #1
Illyana Rasputin’s first solo ongoing series kicks off January 8th from writer Ashley Allen and artist Germán Peralta and Marvel has shared a first look at unlettered preview pages and a new Darkchilde design from the debut issue.
"Illyana is such an interesting protagonist," Allen told AIPT in a recent interview. "She’s a woman who’s gone through a dark past but refuses to let that stop her from doing good in the world. I believe the desire to leave the world a better place than before resonates with a lot of fans (myself included). While she’s snarky and has some walls up, she’s ultimately a sweetheart who loves her friends and family deeply."
"Since we are talking comics, I’d be remiss to not also discuss the visual elements of storytelling,” Allen continued. “Illyana’s powerset has so many great opportunities for cool visual moments that we can really have shine in a solo series. Her spells, her mutant ability to teleport through space and time, and, of course, her Soulsword. Who doesn’t love a woman with a sword?”
We also got to see Magik #1’s full suite of covers, including a main cover by J. Scott Campbell and variants by Dike Ruan, Peach Momoko, Jay Anacleto, Jeehyung Lee, David Nakayama, and Netease Games. Check them out below!
