    Mark Brooks teasing covers for a Magik solo? He’s not solicited for any Dead Souls variants.
    He spelled her name wrong

    Beautiful.
    At least he got the hashtag right.

    If there's gonna be another Magik miniseries, I hope Chris Yost is the writer. When he gave his description of Magik during his interview for the "Quest for Magik" arc for New X-men vol. 2, it was quite accurate.

    Cannot wait to see the whole piece! I wonder what the announcement could be? I would LOVE a solo, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

    EDIT: Looks like he posted one on the 5th as well...

    Nice piece! I miss Magik being on the main cast of an X-book. I hope she gets a chance to shine with the New Mutants book set to launch later this year. After Extraordinary X-men, I get the sense Marvel is just waiting to find a new role for her. Even though the movie got delayed, I think her star is set to rise in a major way.

    Here is a more complete piece...

    In one of his Magik posts he hashtagged "origins".

    Very interesting!

    Probably a retelling of “Magik: Storm and Illyana”.

    I just popped in to appreciate her. She... was never a star of the x-series to me but... she really has the potential to be.

    She's one of the x-characters that could carry her own solo book, her iconography is awesome and she's a powerhouse tied to the underworld.

    She rarely gets the shine she deserves. How different things would be if she'd been on x-men blue or gold in the 90's. Still thought i'm glad she's more attention, because she
    has the power of cool. I mean really she could realistically pull off the Wolverine thing where she's on every team doing everything, regardless. . . Here's to Magik. Long live the Rasputins.
    My priority is enjoying and supporting stories of timeless heroism and conflict.
    Everything else is irrelevant.

    Everytime I see J.Scott Campbell illustration of MAGIK, I'm reminded of one of FULL FRONTAL Samantha Bee's earliest late night episode "takedowns" of comic book culture portrayal of sexualized empowered females.

    Hmmm.

    I really dig J Scott Cambell's work.


    This is Magik. The power of the the body and the gaze

    But do we dare question the 'power' of sexualizing an asexual young female survivor of abduction, abuse, torture, war, confinement, alienation, persecution and death?

    Asexuality isn't accepted by a capitalistic society and has always been vulnerable to enslavement, dehumanizing and absolute rejection. An asexual person, an adult virgin is still more or less considered sacrificial or satirical.

    But what if she's Magik? What if she's Illyana?

    I DO really like J. Scott Campbell's art. I DO accept and appreciate contradiction and depth.
    But this thread spends so much convo on Illyana's appearance. Why? I'm not saying it's good or bad.
    It's strange, to me, that the overt sexualization of Magik is rarely overtly discussed.

    There are historically strong allegorical artistic roots in the depiction of sexualized youthful men and women as a means to subvert the patriarchal ideals of gender roles by blurring the inherent possession of typecast. How old is she, or is it he, or is it...? So there's doubt there, but, often this seems like a stretch, especially as it translates into today's modern American market.

    I'm interested in how and why in speaking about her new outfits, looks and styles fans seem to never speak about the obvious. IMO there is a veil that often goes utterly unnoticed it's so very apparent it may actually be in reality trans-parent.

    Or is that body and gaze so powerful that it's just hard to speak about?


    The more we change and question what's so often taken for granted, missed or explained away and the more voice that's given to individuals who suffer behind this 'veil', the more I am interested in discussing representation in all its complexities & contraries of projection and reception.

    the gaze and the body...

    And yes, I totally like J Scott Campbell's Magik. It's immediate. The gaze and the body. They wouldn't work so powerfully together and so readily if they weren't, indeed, so powerful.

    I'm so insta-superfluous.

    Looks wonderful & any news of a Magik solo book is super exciting!

    And to think, just yesterday, I was attempting to initiate a potentially untweetable discussion about...ah, forget it...

    Thanks for sharing that link thirteen. lol. Funny in a below the belt sort of way, but, I'm positive that's where it was aimed.

    It would be an interesting change for us to go from no Magik to her headlining Gold, this New Mutants limited run, and a solo to boot.

    Would anyone else like Magik to join a new X-force? I like her as an X-man, but she seems like a great fit for X-force and would give that team a different powerset that's not just claws and healing factor.

    I think Magik's had that darker tone to her character than some others - she's not afraid to do what needs to be done either, so she could easily fit with X-Force. It could lead to some interesting character development and dynamics too - essentially, yes!
    I’ve just published my very first work on ‘Archive of Our Own’, under the same name as here. It is the first chapter of ‘I Am My Own Best Friend ~ An Emma Frost Road Trip’, which focuses on Emma between the events of IvX and Secret Empire, including the White Queen going on a road trip, to try and have fun!

    You can read the story here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15795663

    I hope you enjoy it as much I did writing it!
