Illyana Rasputin on the cover of New Mutants: War Children #1
Illyana Rasputin in New Mutants: War Children #1
I’m putting this in the queue, but I’m typing this on Monday morning, and I get it, Illyana. Sometimes you just feel rough and want to handle everything that comes up with a sword.

When Yana was just back from Limbo and didn’t know any better, Kitty was the only girl she knew whose fashion she could copy, so I bet Yana still has a lot of clothes-related revenge ready to execute.

She’s “not a hugger”, so being grabbed like that can come as a shock. Also the horns. They are gonna bump into you.

Let’s face it, we’ve all had days when we feel like that.
You don’t mess with the Darkchilde. You just don’t.

The Team Supreme? The Trio Supreme, when Doug, Warlock and Illyana work together!

The TechnoDarkchilde. Yeah, the Earth is doomed.

Illyana redocrated Limbo for a while after meeting Doctor Strange, like teenagers do to their rooms when discovering a new celebrity. See, very normal adolescence, nothing out of the ordinary.

We all struggle with our own thoughts and doubts sometimes. We don’t all get to put them to the sword. Sadly.
Loved this scene--the duality of Illyana’s human and demon sides as something she constantly struggles with. And as a bonus, expressed through swordfighting. *cheff’s kiss*

Sweet dreams, Illyana. Or, perhaps more likely, a magical shield guarding you against the bad ones.

Oh damn.
(And a second oh-damn for a nostalgia oneshot getting a second printing--these kinds of books are not usually huge sellers.)

I don’t know about you, but I think this Sienkiewicz fellow may just have a big future in comics. This young unknown writer, Claremont? Ah, we’ll see.
This looks amazing and I cannot wait to read it. Poor Warlock. Protect him.

New Mutants: War Children #1, variant cover by Martin Simmonds
NEW MUTANTS: WAR CHILDREN #1 Writer: Chris Claremont Art: Bill Sienkiewicz Cover: Bill Sienkiewicz STRONG AND FREE! Don’t miss this momentous event as legendary creators CHRIS CLAREMONT and BILL SIENKIEWICZ reunite with Magik, Wolfsbane, Cannonball, Cypher, Mirage, Karma, and Sunspot to share this never before told story of the New Mutants’ past! When Warlock experiences a nightmare, he begins going haywire, and it’s up to his friends to save him! But as Warlock grows more frenzied, they should be worrying about being able to save themselves…and doubly so when Magik’s inner demon, Darkchylde, threatens to break free! Also, a special guest appearance by none other than Kitty Pryde!
I am so happy right now. Cheers to Marvel for celebrating their 80th anniversary in the very best way.
