Hey Magik fans (Magikal girls?)! Just today ‘X-Orcists’ by Ashley Allen and Germán Peralta was bumped from a 5-issue mini to an ongoing!! Really exciting stuff especially for marvel to see the potential in magik leading this team. However, if we want to keep that momentum going, we gotta support the book👍

The first issue is out November 18th, 2026!! However, the pre-order cut off date is THIS Monday, October 12th!!

From a fans perspective, one way of showing the marvel gods that people care about this book/character is by placing your order early or by that date. It also ensures you get a copy if it sells out! (Not the end of the world if you still buy it day of but before the date really shows the demand from comic stores!)

If you’ve been enjoying this magik saga by Ashley Allen and wanna keep supporting it as it launches into an ongoing series, definitely consider pre-ordering ‘X-Orcists’! And who knows it seems like a lot of magic figures could join at any point! Thanks !!

I just loved her Tokon design, it is so chill and simple and yet super cool at the same time, I had to draw her. I'm planning to main her when I buy my copy next week!

Art by David Messina. And Chris Claremont wrote this so of course kitty is gonna be involved with the brood and with illyana haha. This was at the end of the issue as it’s own separate couple pages. Illyana calling her girlfriend caught me off guard haha. Kinda funny seeing magik with xenomorphs.

Always wishing magik would be a main character in a crossover story like this and not be infected. I think it’d be cool to see her use limbo to buy her time and stuff. Or like that one zombies run where she had to stay darkchylde because she got bit but the demonic parts of her were stronger than the zombie infection.

She’s a badass in any universe.
