Erik has been a broken man since the events of the Phoenix Force, ending as just a pale shadow from what he used to be. Is he willing to demonstrate the rest of the world that they're wrong?
Continuing a sub-plot that he has been developing since the beginning of this series, Brian Bendis starts exploring Magneto's psyche by showing his own doubts and how his old colleagues look at him currently. It's a pretty well told one-and-done story where the protagonist is able to prove that he still is a badass despite of his power downgrade.
Chris Bachalo is on pencils and while his artwork can be a bit chaotic at places, is still pretty attractive and the action scenes are reallyimpressive.
Really good issue, much better than All-New X-Men for me this week.
I think there was a bit more going on there than what you see on the surface. We first met Magneto at the student rally. He is clean shaven, and wears a long-sleeved jacket. Magneto always wears long sleeves in public, to cover the camp tatoo.
ResponderBorrarThen we cut to Madripoor. The guy we meet has a months worth of beard growth at least, even though the conversation with Mystique indicates that the student rally was recently. He wears a jacket with the sleeves rolled up to dispaly is forearms. No tatoo is visible.
He uses powers, but they are not like the light-display powers Magneto has manifested since the Phoenix force. They are just Magnetos normal powers, used sparingly.
I am thinking these are two different people. Possibly its Joseph in Madripoor.
Could be, could be. I haven't been following Joseph's latest developments so I should check it out.
BorrarThanks for the heads-up and comment.
