Magik's always been held back by being on team books. Going back to the 80s, Claremont had to nerf her to hell and back just his trainee team could function with her on it, leading to the ridiculous...

Currently there are 4 soul swords in the Marvel universe, though I pray Marvel comes to their senses and it goes back to just 1 very soon. There's the sword Rasputin brought from the Sins of...

Those have all been in covers, never in a story, whether anon or not.

Also agree on the top blue one. The soul sword works best when it's something that can be used with finesse, like a normal sword or a lightsaber. The giant bust sword can only be used like a giant...

I fear there will be no explanation at all.

What needs to happen at some point is she needs to confront the character flaws that led her to give up rulership of Limbo in the first place. The...

An alternate Illyana who is the sorceress supreme appears in that world appears in Weapon X-Men today. She's there to be Worfed, but Phoenix says that Onslaught was afraid of Illyana.

I had a fun time. It was obviously nowhere near as good as Minus One, but it works very well as popcorn entertainment. The best description I can give is that it's like if Final Wars had better...

If I said that Duggan's stories are being reset but this Magneto story and the Avengers issue still happen, then obviously I don't believe that Krakoa is being reset, but part of this final storyline...

This makes me wonder if the reason Duggan is going so off the walls is because, like Rosenberg in 2018-19, his stuff is not going to matter the second it's over because it'll all be undone by a...

It is not a coincidence that the focus is on Ahsoka's 2 primary antagonists. Bariss is the ghost of her past and the reason she left the Jedi Order, and Morgan was the primary antagonist of Ahsoka...

In theory, I can tolerate the idea that in a literal war and when facing the genocide of millions of mutants, the gloves come off and they cross lines they wouldn't otherwise cross, including...

I wouldn't say that Duggan forgot he resolved the nanite plot. It's more that she was never part of the actual story, and devoting a sidequest to resolving the dangling nanite plot from almost a...

It's amazing how similar X-Men 32 was last month to Bendis's Uncanny 33 on paper.

Both issues are about Illyana and Kitty reuniting and teaming up to rescue mutant children. The difference is one...

With every issue, Duggan gets me more and more ready for Krakoa to end so that X-Men will be free of his writing. This was somewhat better than previous issues in that things actually seem to be...

X-Men 33 goes right back to the 'Illyana's powers aren't working' well the very next issue after she got her powers back. She might as well not be in the Orchis story at all.

That's also true and raises so many questions.

I really want them to do an episode that's devoted to retelling the original Magik miniseries. Once that has a single faithful adaption there won't...

The thing is, the culmination of Illyana's story wasn't actually all that important to Inferno. Even though it was supposed to be the culmination of everything Claremont had been building up for her...

If the book heavily features Laura, then yes. She is more popular than anyone in the New Mutants, even Magik, and would be enough of a draw to keep the series going. Without her, they cannot hold a...

My Twitter thread on why restoring the no-kill rule is necessary for Illyana to truly be elevated to A-list.

All I really know is that there's some meshugas where the 616 Warren got the 'soulsword' the Exiles Magik used and then forgot all about it. I haven't gone out of my way to read everything about...

The Exiles Magik might have done so with her team, but I don't know if she did. Outside of that, the closest we've gotten is the 3 versions of Illyana from the Labors of Magik story, old woman...

C.C. Cebulski has said that Illyana is safe as long as he's in charge at Marvel. She's also a favorite of a ton of writers. At this point, no one would think of turning her into an innocent child...

What's interesting about Illyana's videogame appearances is how it's the one place where developers and writers are putting in the effort to get her right that no one else seems to be doing. I...

It looks like CBR is hiring writers who only saw the awful New Mutants movie and never read a single comic where Illyana appears.

The official trailer is out. Looks pretty good at first glance, and I'm glad it's not just a shooter. I hope it runs well on Steam Deck.
