Oh no, is this the last issue? This is the only thing I'm reading out from Dynamite, the idea to make Magnus a woman who not only identifies with robots, but ends up fighting for their freedom, is one of the most complex and interesting approaches to the character that I've seen thus far. I hope this is not the last that we've seen from this Magnus, Dynamite only strikes gold occasionally and it i more

If you came looking for Magnus robot fighter, disappointment is all you will find. This may as well have been an original character, for all the ties it has to the gold key original. The main problem with these Dynamite reboots is that you can feel the disdain for the original concept. They can't help themselves, they have to tamper with the series DNA. Its why the last Dynamite reboot of thes more

Okay, full disclosure. I wanted RYV 2.0 to be good. In retrospect I should have known it wouldn't be. They replaced a veteran writer with a diversity hire, traded Stegmen for Nick Roche, and employed that laziest of gimmicks a time jump. I can't recommend this.

The Valiant version identified with the robots. As for gender swapping the character, I;d rather they'd focused more on what made the original Magnus so compelling than worry what was between his legs.
I haven't read the Valiant version of Magnus, Robot Fighter, but what made this version different from Dynamite's previous run is that the humans are the oppressors as opposed to a grand AI dictator oppressing the humans. It reflects on how true AI could easily become another marginalized demographic in human society. And no, at no point does the story focus on what's in between Magnus's legs. Why would you even fixate on that?
