Magik & Colossus #1

A fantastic Rasputin family reunion, Magik and Colossus may end up one of the best debut issues of the year. Read Full Review

I really loved the horror feel of this comic. I love that we are seeing Magik and Colossus in mindsets and just existences that feel out of the norm for their characters. Allen's writing is top-notch, but the art team of Peralta, Hesli, and Maher do just a stunning job bringing the words to life. The story feels like a family history set against the backdrop of a modern horror story and I'm so here for it. Read Full Review

Magik & Colossus #1 works great as an opening to a 5-issue limited run duo story. It seems like ever since the massive success of Deadpool and Wolverine that Marvel has learned to place two contrasting personalities together for a great story. This works even better here, as Magik and Colossus are siblings with a much clearer attachment to one another. Read Full Review

Magik and Colossus #1 is for the hardcore fans of the characters. It doesn't hit quite as emotionally as one might expect but feels like it can be a nice side adventure for these two who definitely don't get enough time together. Read Full Review

Magik and Colossus #1 is the kind of comic that will not insult your time, but it will not fight very hard to earn a permanent spot in your memory either. If you are a fan of Magik, Colossus, or moody forest horror with clean action and solid art, this is a fair pickup when you have a light week. If your budget is tight and you only want books that feel vital or daring, you can safely skip this and wait for something that pushes the line further. In short, this is a competent side story that will please character loyalists and leave everyone else shrugging. Read Full Review

Ashley Allen knows how to write a first issue. This issue wastes little time in getting to the action and very quickly and concisely establishes where the title characters are in relation to each other. German Peralta's art continues to elevate the storytelling, and once again the use of Magik's powers is more creative than in most X-Men books.
