So Claremont is back, which is cool, but the art looks a bit boring. Hopefully the story picks up!

Claremont comes back and Marvel does not give him a good art. I thought Marvel stop trying to screw with X-Men. A good thing about the previews, there are words in there. Claremont is still a story teller beyond words.

I actually loved this.

Really surprised people aren't more into character-driven stories. Oh well.

I don't agree. Don't let all the hype and flash you see in most comic movies today let you think different. Good comic stories (movies or comics) are still character-driven stories.

I'll wait until a user I trust like Havok or Maestroneto post a review or something.

Not Digging the Art, but AWESOME i'm loving this. Can't wait till this drops :-)

Claremont's just going to cover up all the art with text anyway.

The text is good, though. He's at his best when he's doing character studies, and this looks like an effective and sensitive one.

I started reading comics when Claremont was really developing Magneto back in the mid-to-late 80s and this is great. I believe I'll be picking up whatever in-canon X-Books Marvel decides to hand him.

I love quiet books like this. I would gladly fork over 20 bucks for a five part mini of just Mags and Kate having this conversation.

I really loved this, too. It reminds me of the Classic X-men backup stories by Claremont and Bolton. I loved those stories!

Claremont continues to write non action scenes but still keeps it interesting somehow.

[FeniSam]

Wow, I actually didn't expect much from Claremont this time around, but those 4 pages really sell it for me. Art's... whatever, but I'll wait and see if there's any action. Color me impressed.

[Godzilla2099]

Excellent start. It may not have action (yet), but the tone and conversation kept my eyes peeled.

I'll give it a try

Already liking this new Kate. Hoping nothing happens to her

How long do you think before Marvel changes Magneto's history? or just kills him off?

Realistically the further and further away we get from that era the more and more unbelievable it would be that a man that old would still be alive & this active. Every few years they have a "reborn as if he's 20years old again" thing...a bit too frequently. The realistic guideposts they've planted for some characters become a problem as the franchise ages.

Her follow up question should've been "Omg are you a Holocaust survivor? OMG how F***ing old ARE you!?"

Are they going to just keep deaging him? make him time displaced? All out just call him an Eternal?

They're gonna run with it until there's another anti-Jewish tragedy to tie him to.

They need to do SOMETHING. Magneto is the single biggest argument against the Sliding Timescale.

Eh let's hope that never happens....at least that I'm not around for it

[Magneto]

Damn this is good. The dialogue is amazing. Even if people say Claremont isn't the writer he once was, he'll always write an amazing Magneto.
