Now it falls to Storm - as the epic conclusion to the Krakoan age looms - to bring their oldest enemy home to fight against the FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X...but after all he did, and all that was done to him, can Magneto bear to return?

    Resurrection of Magneto blends sci-fi and the spiritual in a work like a 21st-century version of Siddhartha. Storm is on a spiritual journey to save Magneto's soul in a story that elevates the superhero narrative. Read Full Review

    Resurrection of Magneto #1 takes on the perspective of the iconic character, Storm, and humanizes her in a way I haven't seen in a while within recent X-Men Comics. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Sasha Kaplan Jan 24, 2024

    The Resurrection of Magneto starts and ends on a visual of Magneto, a man struggling, a man on the edge. But the story is just as much about him as it is about Storm, and the incredible connection and camaraderie between these two powerful mutants. It is a comic you do not want to miss if youve been on the Krakoa and Arakko train since day one. Read Full Review

    Some may find the Resurrection of Magneto #1 intriguing, however, I dont think it will be people who simply want a fun, action-packed, exciting, escape from reality for 30 minutes. I know this is hard to say after one issue, but Im out. It was too hard to understand, too hard to follow, and way over the top in order to bring Magneto back. And for what purpose? We dont know. Hopefully, Ewing can bring this ship back down to earth as the series continues. Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God bless! Read Full Review
