The “Magik-al” Mystery Tour begins this week in Uncanny X-Men #5 by Brian Michael Bendis and new artist Frazier Irving.

The mutant once called “little snowflake” has become a she-devil that’s made life hell for her other mutants and especially older brother, Colossus.

During Avengers vs. X-Men – Illyana, Emma Frost, Cyclops, Colossus and Namor were possessed by the Phoenix Force. All of the hosts and Magneto have paid a heavy price and their mutant powers have been twisted and weakened. Only Illyana survived unscathed. Magik is even more powerful. Why?

The dark shadowy pencils of Frazier Irving (Klarion, the Witch Boy, Seven Soldiers, Batman and Robin) are perfect for the latest arc as Bendis begins to explore the secrets of Illyana.

Marvel shared Irving’s work from Uncanny X-Men #5 featuring Magik confronting Dormannu!

The X-Men may going into the fire…literally! Could we see the return of Limbo, Sym and Nastirh during this arc?

Magik’s manipulations inspired Colossus to leave her – even threaten to kill her. Is Illyana behind the power problems Scott, Emma and Magneto are experiencing?

Uncanny X-Men #5 arrives this week!
