Magik Gets Her First Solo Ongoing Series

Magik is getting her first-ever solo ongoing solo! The new self-titled series debuts January 8, 2025 from writer Ashley Allen, who wrote Illyana in this year's X-MEN: BLOOD HUNT – MAGIK, and artist Germán Peralta. Check out J. Scott Campbell’s main cover, Dike Ruan’s variant and Peralta’s new Darkchylde design below!

“I’m beyond excited to be returning to write Illyana!” Allen said. “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.”

Marvel shared more on what readers can expect from the series:

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!

Throughout the series, Magik will also be forced to come to terms with her tragic history and learn to control her demonic Darkchylde persona. After years of suppression, Illyana’s Darkchylde form returns from the depths of her tormented soul to offer her more strength and power, but at what cost?
