Rated T+
X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #2 is packed full of emotion and action, as the Master of Magnetism wrestles with his angst as well as his fellow mutants. With a jaw-dropper of an ending and three issues left, it seems like this is one murder mystery that doesn't fit conventions. Read Full Review
All in all, the first half ofTrial of Magneto#2 is a lot stronger than the second half, but without all the pieces in play, it doesn't feel fair to the creative team to completely judge some elements of the title just yet. WhenTrial of Magnetohas its highs, they are very high -- and the title's lows can be a bit puzzling. Read Full Review
The story seems a bit muddled, once again with unnecessary word choice and odd characterization for Magneto. Something is missing from the story that will hopefully be explained later, as will the odd dialogue and odd character choices. That being said it is worth picking up to continue the story, even though there are some odd choices it delivers a couple of interesting punches and plot threads. Read Full Review
I really dig the art of this book, although there's work do be done in a few areas. Still can't wait to see more from Lucas Werneck in the future. The Avengers came to get the body of their fallen teammate, but they received something very different instead. The end of Trial of Magneto #2 left off on quite the cliffhanger, so it should be cool to see how they tie all these Wanda threads together. Read Full Review
Werneck delivers some great art. The characters look great and the action was dramatic and beautifully done. Read Full Review
X-Men: The Trial Of Magneto #2 is great for the characterization. Williams nails each character and who they are. The plot of the issue is pretty standard, but there are a few nice little additions as the chapter goes on. The ending sets the stage for the rest of the book, and where it goes from here will be intriguing. Werneck and Wilson are the best art team for this book, as every page is impressive. All in all, this book is one of the highlights of the current X-Men line. Read Full Review
The Trial of Magneto #2 continues with the characters trying to process the death of Wanda and it almost leads to more violence and bloodshed. Read Full Review
The mystery deepens as more evidence is added to the story, including some truly interesting twists that I did not see coming. Mostly though, this comic is great for its grounded character moments more than it's murder mystery. Read Full Review
The Trial of Magneto #2 is just as good as the first issue. Leah Williams has given us two well thought out issues that honestly leave us with more questions on who is really behind the death of the Scarlet Witch. The pencils and colors were great throughout the issue and highlight the talent that Marvel has at it's disposal. The Trial of Magneto has been a roller coaster rides so far, and it doesn't look like it will be slowing down any time soon. Read Full Review
While I'm not completely sold on X-Men: Trial of Magneto #2, the issue has some intriguing moments. This feels like a miniseries where the whole will be stronger than the individual parts. There's some odd characterizations that might be explained by the mystery going on but we'll have to wait and see. Overall, it's a story that needs to be told and some truths that need to be said and shown. Read Full Review
The Trial of Magneto continues and it highlights all of Leah Williams' strengths and weaknesses as a writer. The issue's script navigates and expresses the nuances of mourning and grief in ways that superhero comics often gloss over, but there's also a least one line in the script that will likely leave readers confused unless they belong to a specific subset of online fans. Read Full Review
Overall, the second issue in this series delivers pretty on par to what the first issue gave us. This issue like the last leans heavily into raw emotions. Though while doing so I felt some of the characterizations ended up being off and that took me out of the story. Read Full Review
X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #2 delivers a solid continuation of one of the biggest X-Men storylines in the Krakoa Era. The characterization for all the X-Men and Avengers that appear in this issue is on point. As the issue concludes we are given even more questions that hook you in to want to find out what will happen next. Read Full Review
Other than an extremely poetic moment, and some incredibly expressive lettering by Clayton Cowles, I found myself wondering what this series is really all about as well as its purpose. If you liked Williams X-FACTOR, then I'm sure you'll love this considering it's the same thing but with a few more characters. Otherwise, talk to a friend to figure out what happened on the last page and you'll be right as rain. Read Full Review
All of this is without getting to the just plain upsetting ending. This Leah Williams script is wildly problematic here, and while there was a great showing of craft by Lucas Werneck, Edgar Delgado, and Clayton Cowles, the pretty pictures can only do so much. This is not going well. Read Full Review
AND...

What.
A.
Dramatic.
MASTERPIECE!
IF NOT a solid TEN, 'cause nuthin's perfect, a definite
9.9!!
Best X-Factor issue & 1 of the best Reign Of X issues,
EeeZ!!!
Bring on the HOUSE of M!!!!
This was very good and took a turns I didn't see coming I'm very excited to see where this story goes the X books have been tremendously strong for the past few years and I'm really excited to see what's in store
I can't say I didn't enjoy this. Magneto is acting weird, but I assume there's a reason for that that will soon be revealed. I think I like the art? But I find it a bit lacking compared to the many other stellar artists we've been treated to throughout the various X books.
There was a lot to like here between Williams' story and Werneck's art. Some really nice additional layers were added to the central mystery. Most everything we've seen from Magneto through 2 issues feels like a red herring while the inclusion of Mystique at the end of the issue felt the opposite. The pace of the entire X line appears to be picking up as we head toward Inferno and I'm here for it.
Werneck's art is absolutely beautiful especially his Jean, finally free from that heinous yellow mask. The X-Factor cast seems a bit shoehorned in here but otherwise a very compelling ending. The "Wanda" we see is...Hope borrowing Mystique's powers? Great cliffhanger!
When the Avengers come to take Wanda's body, Magneto goes shouty and fighty again, but nothing is as it seems. Pulling this series back to ordinary comic length works wonders; this issue seems much faster and smoother than the last one. The art is solid, especially in the first few scenes, and the script is decent all around with some flashes of greatness. It's a pity the best character beats seem to fall to the guest stars; this issue's Captain America is great. On the plotting side, the author has a lot of balls in the air and I'm not sure they're all going to get caught properly. For now, the show is enjoyable, though.
I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised that this was an enjoyable issue. I didn't care for the character portrayals in issue #1 and honestly usually do not like Williams writing but this was a decent issue and hope the rest of the series picks up from here.
This was a pretty good issue that has a lot of weird character moments for Magneto, that I'm sure will be explained in the next few issues.
I mean I guess this is better than number one. Which was not particularly difficult to achieve.
Def needs help, but the core is still good.
ok, isso foi mal escrito, mas estranho o bastante para me deixar curioso.
This isn't a bad book per se but it's just X-Factor in disguise as a Trial of Magneto series. Half the issue is about the X-Factor characters, a book that otherwise was pretty bad, and they add absolutely nothing to the main story. Half the issue is just pointless.
This was a little weird, many of the characters felt a little strange, the art is beautiful and Wanda's appearance played well, but the story has felt weak from the beginning.
angry man is angry
Ehh, I really enjoyed the first issue but this one was a bit too silly and messy
Three years of character development flushed down the toilet. Truly disappointed in Williams's handling of Magneto.
first DC and now marvel is doing a disgusting job. And they wonder why the crisis in the comic industry.
Has Leah Williams ever read these characters? Wow. It’s bad in that way. It makes away from some of the ideas there are.
Impressed how the writer get the characters wrong
