    That got deep. This is the best comic from Marvel this year hands down. It came full circle and delivered a heart wrenching story of a complicated man. This Magento mini sits up there with some of the best of Magneto stories and complements them well. The entire story was a winner through and through. Read Full Review

    Though I wasn't impressed by the preceding issues, I think this finale is a good capstone. All the plot and character developments tie together nicely, producing a thoughtful portrait of Magneto's inner struggles. I remain underwhelmed by Irae and her forgettable Sisterhood, though. The longer they stay in comics limbo, the better. Finally, I've been a fan of the idiosyncratic art throughout the series, and this last serving might be the best. Subjectively, at least, it's a real pleasure to look at.

    I recently read Magneto #4, and while it had a few standout moments, especially those involving Magneto, the overall experience left much to be desired. **Highlights:** Magneto's appearances were a definite highlight. The character's presence and complexity added depth to the story, and his scenes were executed with the gravitas we've come to expect from such an iconic figure. These moments brought a spark to the narrative and showcased some of the potential the comic had. **Weaknesses:** Unfortunately, the story itself was weak and lacked coherence. The plot felt disjointed and failed to engage me consistently. The pacing was off, and the transitions between scenes were jarring, making it hard to stay invested in the storyline. more
