Fans of Cullen Bunn's Magneto series are in for a treat as the master of magnetism takes center stage. Read Full Review
X-Men: Blue #33 is among my favorite issues of this book without a doubt. It takes a moment to breathe and show where Magnetos head is at now and where he may be headed. This one gets a recommendation. Give it a read. Read Full Review
X-MEN BLUE #33 feels like half of an issue. Whereas ordinarily, a writer might use half an issue to introduce a new plot, Bunn uses the entire issue. He neglects everyone but Magneto and gives the reader hardly any action. With the series ending soon, I'm a little unsure why Bunn chose to give readers an issue where pretty much nothing happens.

What this issue lacks in action it makes up for by being a magnetic (sorry) character study about a man who has lived a life full of hard choices and the regrets and ghosts those hard choices tend to bring. Its a must-read for fans of Magneto but comes highly recommended even for non-fans. Bunn is clearly building towards an interesting grand finale, and it shouldnt be missed. Read Full Review
Timetravel is the theme for this series with the Original X-men stuck in the present and Magneto now in the future hop on board for the final journey of this unorthodox team. Read Full Review
This is a great issue for Magneto fans, but knowing that the series is ending in just a few short issues makes X-Men #33 feel underwhelming. Read Full Review
Marcus To delivers stellar visuals in what is a solid issue that seems primarily interested in setting up bigger thing to come. Read Full Review
I didn't expected a thing about this story & Bunn surprise me pleasantly. Ok another possible futur. One who seem different form the Futur Brotherhood one. But I like the way Bunn work with Magneto. In a way trusting he come back as the evil he once was before learning he was the hope the mutant waited for. I also like the parallel between the slaughter he was to do to survive against the Mutant plagued by the mothervine & the Reavers. I wonder what will be the role of the young X-men in this future ?
Cover - Nice & Related. 2/2
Writing - Bunn give me another good issue after the awful two part story with Jimmy. 3/3
Arts - I love Marcus work even if there is too much panel without background. 2.5/3
Feeling - Thank more
An Essay on Magneto...
Hero. Villian. Leader. Martyr.
Magneto has been many things over the years, and yet one has stood above them all: A man. Flawed, driven by the courage of his convictions and constantly on the brink of an internal war that will eventually consume him.
Bunn, a proven steward of Magneto, captures this conflict eloquently. We see Erik as a destroyer and a savior. A tyrant and a man on a futile quest for absolution. This is not to say that the issue is perfect. The dialog itself is drab compared to the inner musings of a Man who has been brought forward to see the scars he will leave on the world. The homage to The Terminator's timetravel visuals are placed well for audience members famil more
This flashback story shows us what happened to Magneto when he ducked out of the Mothervine mess via time machine in #27. He lands in a post-apocalyptic future which he surely had a leading hand in creating, but mutant survivors hail him as a messiah. This is an intriguing and attractive read, but I'm not sure how much value will be left in it once the next issue answers the key "wha happen?" questions this one raises. Both the dystopian world-building and Magneto's self-pity are done well, but they're not the most novel of premises. The artist does a noteworthy (yet subtle enough to overlook) job of distilling the title's mutable visual style into an iconic, high-quality look. If every issue of Blue looked like this, the title would be bet more
