Magik #2
The second issue of the new Magik series sends Illyana Rasputina and Callen Isaacs into the Tokyo underground to protect another of the seals preventing the rise of the demon Liminal from being open. Magik will get a face-to-face with the demon at the end of the issue, but before that comes to pass we'll get the mutant fighting off the possessed Ren and demon apparitions out of her electric guitar from breaching another seal.
Its a big unclear what Ren's plan was and whether that wanted to play on Illyana's demonic Darkchild or whether it was afraid of it. Given Liminal pulling Magik into his dimensional prison at the end of the issue (something which raises all kinds of questions on why that can be done but he can't leave), my guess is those willing to stick around for another issue may get a few answers. Honestly, I quite enjoyed the issue of Illyana and Callen hanging out in Tokyo, but once the demonic storyline kicked into high-gear my interest began to wane.
