See my review of the previous issue.

Creo que es el más débil de los que he leído de Magik. En este issue, Babayaga, envuelve a niños y a los Nuevos Mutantes en una especie de cuento de hadas? para acabar con ellos, cuando llama a su hermano, Colossus, que para ese tiempo se decía muerto al igual que el resto de los x-men
Magik cree que es una ilusión, cuando la realidad es otra

I thought it was cute. Colossus loves his sister.

I really dislike this pretending to be dead angle, it makes no sense to me at all that they couldn’t at least allow those closest to them to know they’re alive. Madelynne and Peter especially have reason to ignore this premise, with Madelynne’s son still kidnapped out there and Magik and the New Mutants left alone and in danger. The benefits also haven’t been presented yet, at all. The idea is they can do things without notice, but haven’t done anything that justifies this stint. Lying to Magik just felt so, so wrong. As an elder brother, i could never allow my sisters to be in such pain for the sake of anonymity, and an anonymity that she could keep secret if told.

Colossus and his sister Magik battle the demon S'ym and Baba Yaga in Limbo.
