MAGIK & COLOSSUS #1 lands — sibling rivalry meets Russian myth

When Illyana and Piotr Rasputin return to their ancestral lands, ancient Slavic monsters stir. Their uneasy partnership drives a fresh X‑Man tale of mystic battles and family tension.

Marvel rolls out MAGIK & COLOSSUS #1, a brand‑new chapter that puts the Rasputin twins front and center. The series promises a blend of high‑stakes combat and personal drama, fresh for both longtime fans and newcomers.

Illyana, now a hardened sorceress drawing power from Limbo’s shadows, teams up with her brother Piotr, whose metallic form hides a surprisingly tender core. Their journey takes them back to Russia, where folklore‑born beasts begin hunting the innocent. The siblings must decide whether blood ties can outweigh old grudges long enough to protect their homeland.

Writer Ashley Allen and artist Germán Peralta reunite after their acclaimed run on MAGIK, bringing a visual style that balances gritty melee with ethereal spellcraft. David Nakayama’s cover captures the clash of steel and sorcery, while the interior art delivers dynamic panels that make each monster feel mythic. For anyone tracking the X‑Men’s evolving family saga, this issue feels like a necessary pivot.

If you’re intrigued by the Rasputin dynamic, give the earlier MAGIK #1 a look; Allen and Peralta’s initial collaboration sets the tone for the magical stakes explored here, and it’s a solid entry for readers who enjoy myth‑laden X‑Man stories.

Pick up #1 and see whether the siblings can finally put their differences aside for the sake of a country under siege.
