Preview: X-Men: Black – Magneto #1

[The Big G]

Holy Ian McKellan Inception Batman!

[Crimz]

Might give this a look.

[AbnormallyNormal]

Looks good to me. My hopes for a Polaris appearance have dimmed now though.

Also want to give a fist of solidarity to everyone in the thread saying Magneto isn't a "villain"

[Heroine Addict]

Holy Ian McKellan Inception Batman!

First thing I noticed.

[Sundown]

I'm really looking forward to this.

[Harpsikord]

This looks good. Slow, but good. And I like how topical and current it is.

[Vegan Daddy]

I mean, the girl is right, but her naiveté is obnoxious. Imagine her reaction when she finds out she’s talking to a genocidal maniac.

The lengthy conversation is nice though. You don’t really get that anymore without quips and exposition. They should give Claremont one of the team books.

Reading that preview was like drinking water after crawling through a desert. As always, Claremont remembers what makes the X-Men and Magneto the most compelling IP Marvel has, now more than ever. I’m definitely going to hit up Midtown the second this is released. I wish he was handling Magneto’s campaign from here on out, but that’s wishful thinking.

[Frontier]

Wait, how many daughters has Magneto had?

I know Wanda isn't canon anymore, but he had another girl before Lorna that died?

[Perfection/Emma 2]

The art is ugly like Magneto's heart

Yes. Anya. People found out he was a mutant and lynched his whole family, killing Anya and her mother.

[FIGHT]

Thought Mag was back on his asteroid read to do work? What the fuk is he doing at a coffee spot?

Yes, Anya, older sister to the twins pre-retcon. Magda was pregnant with them & fled, when Mags unleashed upon their daughter's killers.

[yogaflame]

Yes. Anya. People found out he was a mutant and lynched his whole family, killing Anya and her mother.

No. Magneto was getting stiffed by his boss, and threatened him(with his powers) to make him give him his full wage. His boss then set the hotel Magneto and his family were staying at on fire. Magneto was able to save his wife, but not his child Anya. He lashed out at the townspeople and killed everyone. Magda was horrified by him, called him a monster, and ran away(alive, pregnant with Pietro and Wanda, at least in the old canon). His wife running away from him was what made him lose faith in humanity.

Great preview.
Chris Clameront writing this story is way cool.
