In the 4-part Storm and Illyana Magik mini-series the demon god Belasco has his sights on Illyana and not even the X-Men can stop him.
His plan falls into place even when the X-Men think they have won.
Taking up from the story in Uncanny X-Men #150 the X-Men find themselves in the demon god (the Devil?) Belasco’s realm.
They encounter alternate timeline versions of themselves that have been trapped in the dimension for years. Some have remained good, others have succumbed to Belasco’s magic and turned evil and some are no longer human.
Belasco is after Illyana who he hopes to prepare as his heir apparent.
Unfortunately he succeeds as chronicled in future issues of the X-Men (after #150). But, not as he had hoped.
John Buscema provides the powerful pencils, Tom Palmer polishes them up and longtime X-Men scribe Chris Claremont tells the tale.
It is one of the X-Men’s most powerful storylines and comic book collectors on the know realize that the issues are soon to escalate in price.
The reason: Magik is slated to enter the X-Men movie franchise. Watch out for this 4-part mini-series. Comic book and X-Men fans should have them in their collections.
Issue #1 goes for only about $5 and the entire set can be bought for less than $20.
