As we all know, being a mutant can be tough. But being a mutant with sorcery powers and the ability to teleport? Well, that’s a whole new level. Meet Magik, also known as Illyana Rasputin, a member of the X-Men who has risen to become the Queen of Limbo while mastering her magical skills. And just when you think things couldn’t get any weirder, she finds herself dealing with a vampire invasion in X-Men: Blood Hunt special.

In this special issue, written by Ashley Allen and featuring art by Jesús Hervás, Magik finds herself back in her hometown facing off against vampires. But wait, there’s a twist – she’s pretending to be a mere mortal to infiltrate the bloodsuckers and save her village. It’s like a mutant version of undercover boss, but with more fangs.

To Magik’s surprise, the head vampire turns out to be quite the character. Instead of a bloodthirsty monster, he scolds his minions for wasting their prey. Who knew vampires had management issues? But what really catches Magik off guard is when she discovers the vampire leader is none other than Ilya Muromets, a legendary Russian hero. Talk about a plot twist.

See, Ilya Muromets was a sickly child who miraculously gained strength after being healed by two pilgrims. The catch? Those pilgrims were actually vampires who passed on their dark gift to him. Now, Ilya Muromets isn’t just defending Russia; he’s also taking out his competition by slaughtering monsters and enemies left and right. Looks like Magik has her work cut out for her if she wants to save her village from a literal legend.
