...putting both on an inevitable collision course with the New Mutants.
Back at the mansion, Illyana's mischievous nature leaves Rahne with a reason to dislike her other than her daemonic origins, with the gender politics of this (even playfully) forced feminization...
...Illyana arrives on scene, finally revealing herself before the team as the mutant-sorceress we've come to love and fear.
The strength of Claremont's pen on both books (and later, his collaboration with Weezie) means that his characters' arcs aren't interrupted across books...
IMO this is the best relationship in comics. Kate and Illyana are literally soulmates.
...attack to distract the monster's warped minions while Illyana works to relinquish the Demon Bear's control over them.
Illyana doesn't know her sword will disrupt the curse when she impales Corsi on it, but after it renders him human, she and Rahne understand what comes next.
Illyana–especially with Dani incapacitated–is the group's sole expert on mystical affairs, leaving her alone to figure out a way to defeat the monstrous Bear and prevent its plot to plunge our world into darkness.
The rest of the team bands back together, coordinating their...
...terrifying by the page, especially as it rends the fabric of the world around it with its mighty claws.
With Illyana focusing the entirety (perhaps... the focused totality...?) of her spiritual energies on maintaining the Wards keeping Dani and her doctors safe, it's up to...
The Demon Bear isn't just a monstrous creature–it's also strategic–so it decides to change the rules of the game the New Mutants are playing.
Moments too late, Illyana realizes the Bear is casting a spell of its own– and the New Mutants are transported to the Bear's Badlands.
The kids dive into action as Illyana continues to assert herself as the team's most powerful member (Am I biased? Yes. But can anyone else siphon a portion of their soul of to create a protective ward? No.), just managing to finish her spell as the Bear attacks.
Clawing at...
...a prime of example of how CC's tone shifts as he and BS find their stride together.
The tensions between Rahne's faith & Illyana's nature will drive much of the arc between the two for the rest of the book, but here leads to one of my favorite lines:
"It's magic!" "So am I."
...and their telepathic rapport is some of CC's heaviest subtext and really reminds that while Dani & Illyana have grown closer since her introduction to the book, *Rahne* is Dani's best friend.
The contrast between Dani's giggles & the doctor's awful news is deeply tragic...
...a confused and horrified Rachel runs away from Illyana at the door.
I often think of these two characters in relation to their subtextual relationships with Kitty, but had completely forgotten that Rachel's first contact with the Mansion after her return was actually Illyana.
...capture by Emma Frost, Dani & Illyana look on from the Danger Room's control room as the two girls recap the series' last arc.
Knowing that Kitty is busy in Japan dealing with that whole thing... it's a nice (and sapphic) touch to see Lockheed left in her best friend's care.
...she's needed all along. The focus on will–on agency–is an important development for Kitty, who, like Illyana, starts to separate what was forced upon her and what she can now choose to do with it.
Inspired by her own reclaimed agency, Kitty makes another attempt at holding...
her name is Illyana and she totally does not have the aesthetics of an ace flag wym :)
