CBR: Fuzzball kicks things off for us today.
I enjoyed X-Infernus, but there were several things about the end of the miniseries that kind of left me confused. Where did Pixie go? Is she still stuck in Limbo?
C.B. Cebulski: Limbo is the last place I think Pixie wants to be after what just happened to her there, so she teleported herself as far away from Limbo as she could with her new, more powerful Soul Dagger in hand, no less. As for where Pixie turns up next, you'll just have to wait and see.
If Pixie is still stuck in Limbo, how could the X-Men just leave one of their youngest members there? It seems incredibly irresponsible and uncaring
Pixie was extremely upset and acting out on her own accord when she fled, and there was nothing the X-Men could do at that moment. But Pixie will be popping up again soon, so keep reading.
Whats the deal with Illyanas horns? Sometimes theyre there, and sometimes theyre not.
What can I say? Sometimes she's horny, sometimes she's not.
Anyway... as with all things magic, there's a bit of mystery involved in regards to her horns, but you'll be seeing this issue addressed as she continues her adventures on earth with the New Mutants, starting this May!
X-Editor Nick Lowe: If I can chime in here, I think the horns coming and going was CBs idea, but it may have been Cammos or even Zebs (who the hell knows?), but I loved it. It very much reminded me of how Illyanas armor works. It comes when its needed. Its not always the same. Its magic! I mean, Magik!
Did Illyana regain any of her soul during this mini? If not, is she Illyana or is she Darkchild? Or are they the same person like Hulk and Bruce Banner?
Very inquisitive today, aren't we? She regained a little of her soul. The part in the Soulsword is back with her, but all the Soulstones are gone. What the conversation with her and Kurt (Nightcrawler) laid out for us is that, who she is (Illyana or Darkchild), is her choice.
Who is going through drills in the Danger Room at the end of the story? I recognize Canonball and Sunspot who are the rest supposed to be?
Dani and Karma were both there as well, so all of Illyana's old teammates were there for her return. What a coincidence, eh? Oh, and Dazzlers there too, although she was never a New Mutant.
The ending feels really abrupt. Is that intentional? Is this story merely the lead-in to a bigger story in New Mutants?
I'm sorry if it came off that way to you, but we tried to bring as much closure to Illyana's story and this miniseries as we could. I felt closing on Peter and Illyana was the only way the series could end really. She's back and she's gonna stay and try to work things out with him and the X-Men. I wanted to close this chapter of her life, and Zeb Wells is doing an amazing job bringing her back into the larger X-Universe in New Mutants, which I just know you'll love!
