Fight off those Monday demons and get ready for a new solo featuring everybody's favorite magical, big sword-wielding baddie, Illyana Rasputin. We got to chat with writer Ashley Allen about what she's bringing to the X line with the newest ongoing solo, Magik! We talk about the process of developing this run after the success of her Blood Hunt: Magik one-shot, the ways Illyana's history influences her perspective and how it'll be a part of the overall line of comics. Plus we get even more excited about the newest villain, The Demon Crow!
