Magik #2

The second chapter of this 2001 four-issue Marvel limited series finds a mysterious armored figure — clad in sleek blue armor with a glowing magical mark visible at the midriff — standing between two dark, dripping stone columns before a brooding, mist-shrouded cityscape. Liam Sharp's painted cover work gives the whole image a striking, otherworldly atmosphere perfectly suited to a story titled "A Gathering of Foes." With Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning at the helm, this miniseries brings a moody, fantasy-tinged intensity to one of the X-Men universe's most intriguing characters.
