    After a soulful sacrifice, Magik is haunted by the machinations of Belasco’s mind. Ghosts from the past emerge, leading Illyana from one dark dimension to another. Will Magik be able to escape Hell itself? And if she remains in the fires of Limbo, will Illyana Rasputin cease to exist?

    Illyana stabs Storm to spare her soul a fate worse than death at Belasco's hand. She teleports herself and the body away to Storm's grove in Limbo, where Illyana gives her friend a proper burial. Belasco punishes Illyana for her insolence by turning the realm against her, but Illyana forges a sword from her own soul, and confronts the sorcerer in his fortress. After a brutal battle, Illyana seizes control of Limbo, but opts to return home. Unfortunately, mere seconds have passed on Earth for the X-Men, while seven years have passed for Illyana since she was abducted by Belasco.

    As predictable as the ending might be (since it was already shown a year earlier in UXM 160), the real heart of this issue and the mini-series as a whole is Illyana Rasputin's soul - what she is willing to have it become.  This issue contains great pathos, even in the sometimes-heavy Claremont style.  Illyana is forever darkened by the years in Limbo, made even more tragic by her implied complicitness throughout the series: with each cosntructed bloodstone, a part of her once-pure soul becomes f...
