NEW MUTANTS REUNITE! To save their friend, Magik and Mirage have no choice but to seek help from the order his ancestors founded. But will Illyana's new power make her a perfect recruit or a natural hellraiser? And how will former leader Mirage respond when Magik starts to take charge?
Ashley Allen does a fantastic job with Illyana, and continues an exciting storyline with her, Dani Moonstar, and Cal Isaacs in Magik #7. Read Full Review
Overall, I enjoyedMagik#7. My critiques of its overly expository content don't make me consider this issue "bad," just closer to an 8 in my book than a 9, which earlier issues of the series easily obtained. Ashley Allen has continued to masterfully capture Illyana's tone through her growth, acceptance of the Darkchild, and relationship to heroism. Germn Peralta's art continues to impress, and made the issue engaging even when it involved a bit too much talking and explaining. This issue does its job well, preparing readers for the next majorMagik arc... and I am excited to see where the adventure takes us. Read Full Review
Magik #7 may be light on plot, but it effectively introduces the final key players for the explosive concluding three issues. It sets the stage for the girls' pivotal Vegas mission, which will either mend or break Dani and Magik's friendship, and firmly establishes the long-looming threat of Liminal. While primarily an expository issue, it successfully serves its purpose by setting up a compelling finale. Read Full Review
All the magic stuff is a bit offbeat for X-Men material, but I would read anything with Dani, point blank period. Wish she weren't second fiddle but I'll take what I can get. A well done issue making us want more.
