According to the official synopsis, Illyana and Piotr will embark on a journey back to their homeland, Russia, where they'll encounter ancient monsters straight out of Russian folklore. This intriguing premise sets the stage for an epic battle, as the siblings must put aside their differences and unite to save their country.
The synopsis also hints at some sibling rivalry, which, given their diverse powers, is sure to add an extra layer of excitement to the story. With their unique abilities and complex dynamic, Magik & Colossus is poised to become one of Marvel Comics' most captivating X-Men reads when it releases early next year.
