On the latest evolution of her work on Magik, Allen said, "Round three, baby! 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."  
  
"If you had told me as a kid that I would be drawing X-Men comics, I wouldn't have believed it," Peralta shared. "This is a special X-Book exploring the mystical and dark side of the mutant world—what more could I ask for? Well, I think just one thing, and luckily, that happened too: having Ashley Allen again as the writer!"  
  
"I really enjoy working with Ashley," he continued. "She perfectly understands the characters, not just their powers and how to use them, but also their emotions and motivations. I couldn't imagine a better partner to embark on this new journey with our beloved Illyana. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we are making it."
