“THE QUEST FOR MAGIK” – PRELUDE

Superstar artist Niko Henrichon (Pride of Baghdad) joins Paco Medina for a special prelude to the New X-Men adventure of the year. It’s story time for the New X-Men, and Blindfold is spinning them a tale that will plunge the students of the Xavier Institute into a hell (or is that Limbo?) they cannot imagine. And what does this have to do with House of M and Illyana Rasputin? Everything!

You've been missing out anyway, cos the last arc was really pretty good.

They're bringing MAGIK back? For real like?

Certainly seems that way. Of course, judging by the solicit, it might be House of M Magik, which would kinda suck but I'd still prefer it over no Magik at all. And of course, it could all just be a big tease, they go on a quest for her but at the end of the quest don't bring her back to the world of the living.

Hmm. N&C seemed to have absolutely no grasp of the Magik character, apparently believing the Exiles version was the canon version (weird considering how much they claimed to be fans). That said, the current writers seem to have a scarily encyclopedic grasp of past X-lore and write some characters very well indeed. If they DO bring in Magik, I suspect they'll have a better grasp of her than N&C did.

I'm just starting to resent how brutally screwed arounf with Rahne's character now Peter David's got her back and is writing her perfectly.
