THE DRAGON SLAYER! How did Magik wind up defending one of her newest and most loathsome foes? And can she save him from a literal dragon?
Another great addition to the Magik comic run, all thanks to Ashley Allen and the rest of the creative team. Read Full Review
Allen has deviated a bit in spending so much time exploring some of the background of the villains and the darkness. But the story reaches its climax next issue. It'll just be kind of fun to see where it is that Allen is taking it after this. The current storyline has been a great deal of fun. It's just going to be nice to see it. Come to a close. There is so much potential with this particular character and her relationship with Dani that could be a lot of fun to explore in. a variety of different adventures. Read Full Review
Magik #9 has several strengths, including strong character development for Dani Moonstar and a compelling villain with an interesting backstory in the Embodiment. The art and colors are also a highlight, especially in Matt Horak's flashback sequence. Read Full Review
I love Magik and I love Dani so a book like this has a pretty high floor for how much I can like it. The story here is ok, nothing great but it could definitely be worse. The writing is not bad and captures Ilyana's personality pretty well. Solid story that doesn't really matter much in the grand scheme of things, and I'd much prefer a Magik book that was given more stakes and top shelf talent but I'll take what I can get.
