Feb 28, 2024Resurrection of Magneto #2 shows that this series is not just an all-timer Storm story but for the Master of Magnetism as well. Acknowledging the strengths and the flaws of its two leads, this issue expertly balances the plot with accepting Magneto and all of the multitudes that comprise him.

Feb 28, 2024Ewing and Vecchio continue to push Magneto to his literal limits, making for a strong, compelling and artisitically beautiful second issue that is just as strong as the first. This is an impressive feat considering the narrow scale of conflict compared to the first. Read Full Review

Feb 28, 2024Resurrection of Magneto #2 presents readers with a disquisition on Magneto's moral merits within Marvel Comics, leaning into recent events requiring exposition that is not immediately relevant to the narrative at hand. It is a tedious reading experience to say the least. Read Full Review

Fantastic. In my review of the previous issue, I wrote about how well Ewing has written Storm throughout X-Men: Red and how well he wrote her in that issue. Here, the sentiment is the same...but for Magneto. Yes, Issue 1 of this series was very much about Storm, despite the title, but in this issue we finally get a lot of focus on Magneto. I really enjoyed his reflections on the people whose deaths he had a hand in, some more than others, and the people whose lives he's saved. Ewing is on fire right now and Vecchio killed it on the art once again.

The narrative delves into Magneto's internal struggles as he faces the consequences of his choices & past actions. Al Ewing masterfully crafts a monologue that lays bare Magneto's guilt & regret, reminding readers of the human cost of his actions. It was a touching & vulnerable look into the psyche of one of Marvel's most complex characters. I appreciated that Ewing doesn't attempt to erase Magneto's past transgressions. Instead, he encourages readers to understand the motivations that fueled Magneto's actions, even if they remain morally reprehensible. This nuanced approach allows for a more complete & sympathetic tone without condoning anything he's done. Luciano Vecchio utilizes hauntingly beautiful imagery to depict the emotional more

Al Ewing just knows how to get my attention and keep me interested. He'll take old ideas and rehash them in new environments with narratives that make you think about them in different angles. Is Magneto good or bad? YES. The judgement is not over nor will he escape his sins but he will try to atone for them but he cannot escape judgement. Luciano Vecchio is delivering some great art that fits this book well. Colors are very good although it was fun (for me) trying to tell when Curiel or Aburtov were coloring the pages. The purple foregrounds give it away lol

So many words and if you skip 80% of them, the book is the same.
