Youd be a fool not to buy this issue and see this story through to the end. Read Full Review

If any other writer had offered up this story than I suspect I'd be more charitable, as the material is a fairly solid, if overly familiar take on the Magneto makes another bid at global domination story. However, Grant Morrison is a writer that I look to engage my imagination, and as such watching him offer up a plot by numbers exercise is a bit disappointing. Now there are moments where the book looks like it might break away and head in an interesting direction, as there's a fun little scene in the early going where Beak attempts to engage Magneto in a debate about whether a carrot can feel pain, and the book ends on a strong note as the idea that Magneto is being tormented by his Xorn identity is an engaging idea. I also enjoyed the final conversation that Magneto has with Xavier, as if nothing else it captures Magneto's madness in an interesting manner. In the end though we're four issues into a five issue arc, and I find myself still waiting for Grant Morrison get off the ground. Read Full Review
