This was a nice improvement over issue 2. Liminal is a great foil for Illyana. I really liked the scene where he turned into Belasco and how it affected her PTSD and the callbacks to her imprisonment in Limbo.

Issue 3 is also very different from the first two issues. Instead of finding a demon with a quirky power who is killing mutants and figuring out how to beat the enemy of the we more

I think this was my favorite issue of Jed Mackay's X-Men run so far.

What impressed me this time is the way nearly the entire cast got to contribute, with the exception of Cyclops, who remained out of commission after the beatdown he took last week in Storm. Magik did the most, which makes me happy, Temper and Juggernaught each got moments, this was a big issues for Quentin, and Psyloc more

The quality is a pretty big drop down from the first issue because the opening scene does not work. It is clear that the main characters are in Japan because Cal figured out that's where the next seal is, and that Magik only agrees to go the concert because it became suspicious when she heard about the disappearances connected with it, but the whole process of learning about the concert and trans more

Magik's hunt for the Liminal Seals takes her and Cal deep into the Tokyo underground. But who is watching Illyana from backstage? And has Cal teamed up with Earth's best chance against the demon invasion or its prophesized leader?

This is one of the worst finales to a so-called "event" I have ever read. In the end, nothing happens or changes, the main character of Rogue acts weirdly out of character, and aside from a small number of decent character moments among the supporting cast, there was nothing of substance or note. I can't even make a longer review because there's just nothing to talk about.

First off, this is the best Magik has been written in years. Writer Ashley Allen gets the character much better than so many recent writers. The set up of her inner struggles and her Darkchild persona is very well-handled and finally makes the Darkchild relevant and a threat again.

The art from German Peralta is absolutely stunning and perfectly fits the dark, supernatural tone of the more
