LIFEDEATH!
On Krakoa, resurrection from the dead was as easy as completing a circuit - but Krakoa fell. The time of easy miracles is over, and only the hard roads are left. 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?

Jan 24, 2024Resurrection 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

Comic Watch - Sasha Kaplan
Jan 24, 2024The 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

Jan 24, 2024Some 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

Ewing says goodbye to the X-Men with a big swing that offers up a Storm/Magneto story unlike any either character has ever had.

Loved it. Was a X-Men meets the Defenders kinda crossover. With all the layers that Ewing likes to put on his books and all the world building done by him and by Gillen. Also fantastic art work. This is the art that needs to be done in this kind of comics. Truly beautiful and absorbing.

A fantastic debut issue for this miniseries. This acts as a nice continuation of Ewing's amazing X-Men: Red series, and it was also cool to see Blue Marvel and Taaia from Ewing's Defenders: Beyond miniseries. Back to this issue, though, I know the point of this is to bring back Magneto, but Ewing does another outstanding job of writing Storm here. He truly "gets" the character and I'm always blown away with how great of a job he does writing her. Plus, Vecchio's art was also really nice in this issue and I enjoyed just looking at very page throughout this. All things considered, this looks like another hit from Ewing and I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds.

The commitment to Storm in the Ewing-Verse is strong even in a story about Magneto. Enjoyable with potential and phenomenal art by Vecchio.

Well drawn and compellingly written. Storm faces hard questions about herself in her quest to bring Magneto back from the dead. This was a little wordier than I think it needed to be, but it was good nonetheless.

Much like RotPoX #1, I found a lot of the in-story explanation for what was happening to be mediocre at best. Its barely explained how Storm enters the Waiting Room (might be for the best), and then once she's there, Tarn & Ashake basically inform us we're in a world of magic and there are no real rules. It's a bit of a lazy way to allow for this limited series to unfold, but I can't blame Ewing as this wasn't a story he came up with himself. This was all Marvel setting up the pieces for the post-Krakoa relaunch. Where Ewing's fingerprints are evident is in the amazing character moments for Storm, who he had written better than nearly any writer in the character's decades long history. Seriously, give Ewing a Storm solo series and we'll more

excuse me for asking but why is magneto dead, how did he die, and why do they need him back? also if he destroyed his cerebro backup, why is he being brought back? you would think they would answer these questions in the first issue.

Meandering and a lot of pointless conversations that could be just a page or two, but are pages and pages.
