Magik leads a mystical X-team in Marvel’s ‘X-Orcists’

Ashley Allen and Germán Peralta reunite for a five-issue miniseries that pits Magik, Juggernaut and Madelyne Pryor against a demonic invasion.

Ashley Allen and Germán Peralta, the creative team behind Magik and Magik & Colossus, will assemble a team led by Magik to battle a demonic invasion from Limbo this November in X-Orcists.

The five-issue miniseries sees Illyana Rasputin join forces with Juggernaut, Madelyne Pryor and others to stop a demon “unlike anything they’ve ever seen before” in the five-issue miniseries. This marks the third series by the creative team focused on the mystical mutant.

“Round three, baby!” Allen said. “In all seriousness, I’m incredibly grateful to continue this journey with Germán and the rest of the Magik team, telling the story of a character so close to my and fans’ hearts. Magik and Madelyne are both women who have been told what their paths should be, only to choose their own destinies. Exploring this has been such a powerful and rewarding experience and I’m excited for fans to see these two characters reclaim their power, evolve from their pasts, and discover what it means to truly wield themselves.”

Marvel once again gives fans the chance to pick who should join the X-Men.

Marvel is once again asking fans to vote for who they’d like to see join the X-Men, as they’ve done for the past two years. This year fans can choose from six characters — Dazzler, Cannonball, Frenzy, Juggernaut, Jubilee and Prodigy.

The voting window is pretty tight — you have until Friday of this week to cast your vote. The winner will be revealed this summer as part of the big Hellfire Gala storyline, which we now know ties into the bigger Fall of X crossover that’s coming later this year.

Marvel has provided campaign posters for each character with catchy slogans; here’s the one for Dazzler, who also coincidentally received my vote this year:

Chris Claremont, Scott Bachalo, Seanan McGuire, Shawn Crystal and more tackle some of the X-Men’s greatest villains.

At Comic-Con International in San Diego today, Marvel revealed the details behind one teaser and delivered another at the same time.

Here’s a rundown of the one-shots:
