CAN MAGNETO RESURRECT HOPE FOR MUTANTKIND BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE?
Years ago, Magneto and Professor X led Earth's mutants in a final push for independence against the Squadron Supreme of America. What followed was the Squadron's Mutant Massacre, a violent rebuttal that left Mutantkind forever wounded, and Xavier dead...or so Magneto thought. Years later, Magneto discovers Xavier clinging to life in the astral plane and gathers his allies for a first-of-its-kind rescue mission. Too bad the same mission puts the Mutant Force back on the Squadron's radar!.Failure means the last gasp of mutantkind, but success means the first breaths of somethin

But Why Tho? - Collier
May 26, 2021Heroes Reborn: Magneto and the Mutant Force #1 filters the X-Men mythos through theHeroes Reborn universe, resulting in a tale that's equal parts action-packed and poignant. TheHeroes Reborn storyline has continued to provide new looks at Marvel's heroes, and I'm glad the X-Men got to be a part of that, even if it was for a little while. Read Full Review

May 24, 2021Heroes Reborn: Magneto and the Mutant Force #1 trades inventively on familiar themes for an engaging spin on the mutant metaphor in this alternative universe. A combination of solid writing and good art sells the darker concept of this world convincingly. Well worth checking out. Read Full Review

May 26, 2021Because it's a one-shot to an event centered around the Squadron Supreme of America, Magneto and Mutant Force #1 is hamstrung by their less than charismatic appearance, but Orlando and Chang still spin gold out of the situation by including elements of classic X-Men stories and also poking and prodding at them. Plus it features cool psychic visuals and phonetic spelling of Rogue's Southern accents. Even if you're not following Heroes Reborn, this comic is worth checking out for fans of stories like "Days of Future Past" (The film more so than the comic, honestly.), Age of Apocalypse, and "Here Comes Tomorrow" with a team dynamic that is classic X-Men-meets-Exiles.

May 27, 2021In this alternate timeline, we get to see Magneto take on the role of protector rather then aggressor. This change of role leads to an engaging new twist on the classic hero team. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - Johnny "The Machine" Hughes
May 24, 2021I am at a loss with this book. Is it for X-fans or is the book aimed at the fans of this event? How much attention are you going to give a book that has no impact on anything much at all, especially as you have the Hellfire Gala just around the corner. Read Full Review

May 26, 2021Magneto & The Mutant Force #1 is an often contradictory introduction to an alternate timeline that adds nothing to what has come before and it will apparently even the minor aspirations found here will remain unfinished. Read Full Review

Just when you think you know the world, Magneto and the Mutant Force go into how the changed world has messed up so much. Not only are mutants once again reduced to objects of persecution, the conflicts bring back an old enemy whose developments from previous runs actually fit well into this narrative.

It's a perfectly fine issue. It didn't grab me as I find the story predictable & the characters a bit bland but it's well put together. The writing is well done and the art is nice. X-men fans will surely find enjoyment in it.

The mutants bust Emma Frost out of prison to try and resurrect Xavier 10 years after Power Princess killed him. The mission nets them a savior, but not the one they were expecting. The script moves fast, with a complex but clear structure. The art isn't to my taste, but I can tell an admirable amount of effort went into it, particularly the character design and layouts. The prose is adequate at best, and the creators don't convince me that they really have any interest in following this up. That's just as well; I'm not particularly interested in reading more.
