Do we know for sure the mystery person is Belasco.
What if it’s Ananym, Belasco’s daughter?
We learn 2 things about this villain in the opening scene. 1: This person can get S'ym to betray Illyana. 2. This person knows Illyana better than S'ym. Both of these things rule out Witchfire. When Witchfire tried to take over Limbo, S'ym defied her and remained completely loyal to Illyana, even after he was stabbed in the gut and left for dead he tried to warn Illyana about Witchfire. He wouldn't suddenly switch sides just for her under any circumstances. But Belasco is someone he would switch sides for. Illyana and Witchfire have met twice, both times very briefly, whereas S'ym pretty much watched Illyana grow up. The only villains in the multiverse who know Illyana better than S'ym are Belasco and the Darkchild.
Okay. Got it.
This was a very good Magik-centric comic. I do have one question though - I thought Magik was just a demon that has Illiyana's memories. Did the real Illiyana come back at some point?
This was a great issue. I think this might be the first time in the Krakoa era that Magik has been written with some real depth, not that the badass captain routine hasn't been enjoyable, but it's good to be reminded that there's much more to Yana. I missed Reis' art, it is so beautifully lush. Looking forward to seeing how the current story and the past one are connected. Also hope to learn more about Maddie's intent and motivations. Curious how losing her soulsword will affect Yana.
Best X-book this week.
Characterisation, art, pacing, storytelling...everything was perfection! 10/10
While Gillen was busy killing my favourite villain with PIS Vita is building up another favourite villain with depth and meaning. (couldn't help the shade...and not sorry one bit)

Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
Im with Dani. Illyana giving control of limbo to Maddie will bit them all in the butt
This was another killer issue in a killer run. Praying for no more delays because I need to know where the story is going and also how Maddie goes from this to Spider-Man's Dark Web.
I read this, IXM and XM:R and it was my favorite of the three. Between Reiss' art and Vita's storytelling, I'm all in for this ride.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no fear, there is power.
I am the heart of the Force.
I am the revealing fire of light.
I am the mystery of darkness.

Yeah I don't think it's Belasco either. Ayala had no problem revealing Shadow King being the villain in the first issue of their arc after all. I honestly think there's going to be a bait and switch going on with Belasco appearing but not truly being the mastermind behind events.
