New X-Men has been an awesome read since the current team took over. I have full faith in his ability to do a decent job with Magik

I picked this up, and it's a solid start. I have to commend the writers for actually explaining Illyana's backstory without drowning it in confusing mess. Considering the heroes who failed to rescue her and got trapped in Limbo were alternate-timeline versions of the X-Men, best that stuff got glossed over. Otherwise, though, they got just about everything right, considering how badly Illyana and her mythos have been written in the past twenty years. Kyle and Yost seem to get Illyana, at least from what I see here. There's a lot they're still going to have to explain, because Illyana's death and the later developments with the Soulsword still make no sense. But they've at least gotten rid of Amanda, re-established Belasco, and set the stage for Illyana to properly return. That's a pretty good start for me. I really am not a fan of Skottie Young. His style is far too exaggerated and cartoonish for my tastes. Still, oddly, I find his style doesn't work too badly here. Probably because of the younger protagonists and the weirdness of Limbo, I expect. Still, I find the art readable, even if Young isn't my artist of choice. I'll stick around for the time being, I think.

Just read the prelude for Quest For Magik and it really rocked. So far, so good Now... Illyana... and NOT another bloody doppelganger!
