The New Mutants #72

In "Demon Reign," the New Mutants face a dire threat as N'astirh and S'ym clash over Magik, who now wears a demonic guise. With the X-Terminators, the team races to rescue ten infants caught in N'astirh’s dark ritual to sustain his portal to Limbo. As S'ym unleashes the transmode virus upon N'astirh, Magik confronts her tormentor—and makes a fateful choice that reshapes her form in silver armor. Written by Louise Simonson and illustrated by Bret Blevins, with inks by Al Williamson, colors by Glynis Oliver, and letters by Joe Rosen, this 1989 issue features a cover by Bret Blevins.
