Giant Size Magneto #1 Recap and Review, Now With Spoilers!

[Celestialbodies]

Decent issue, nothing really to grab ahold of enjoyed the interactions of Emma and Erik but like others it's weird seeing him act as an errand boy for Emma, but Hickman enjoys her so.

[Glio]

i think is a genosha reference

I think it will be the official embassy of Krakoa.

Like, if you are human and want to negotiate with the mutants, there is the meeting.

Doing it on the head of a Sentinel should be a type of warning.

Magneto being reduced to doing errands. Not like this

That’s exactly what I said. He came off as an Errand Boy.

I’m really disappointed because I thought GS: Magneto was going to be the best out of all 5 issues. I was expecting Magneto to put some Rowdy Humans in their place.

My Expectations were to high. :-(

This sounds highly plausible.

In my Pretender voice: No. Government Humans. On. Krakoa!

[butterflykyss]

it was a cute issue. wonder what emma will use the island for.

Gotta check this out

That wasn't a bad read, Emma's castle is gorgeous as expected. The sentinel head is a nice touch.

I guess I'm in the minority who dug this issue. obviously X-Factor and X-men are the important, must read, serious stories but I like these little showcases with smaller less important stories. I love seeing this toned down regal Magneto, love seeing him interacting with Emma, all my Krakoan homies feel like they living their best life and I love to see it. I didn't expect Namor, even thought he's on the cast page, and he still being an uppity bitch a little bit (it's Namor tho, what do you expect) but I think Krakoa's slowly winning him over. when Magneto lifted that ship? beautiful. the Jean/Emma issue still the best one, then this one, then the Nightcrawler one; the Nightcrawler one didn't grab my attention and I haven't given it another chance yet.

Have to admit I thought he had built some kind of fake Sentinal base as a clever trap for on-the-run Orchis people, but after reading this thread it's incredibly blatantly a cocktail palace for Emma's Hellfire Gala. Which obviously makes it extra hilarious that Erik stirred up some undersea trouble to get the island and didn't even give a shit. Like the main X-Men series there's a lot of set-up for future storylines planted in these issues so, like a strike in bowling, their impact will depend very much on how they are followed up.

Also, while building the palace from containers was an incredible showpiece for Magneto's raw power, his architecture and design skills are absolutely at omega level. Everything is perfectly colour matched, and he's even filled the roof gardens with plants and trees!

I think that the island being an embassy sounds about right. So they can invite humans there without having them step on the main island for security reasons. She'll probably use it for the gala though.

Apparently magnetism comes with architecture, engineering and design skills lol.

Maybe now that he's on KraKoa he'll finally come out.

We were this close to Emma and Erik going shopping together at the bondage store.

[Glio]

Magneto can somehow transform any piece of junk into a functional anti-telepathy helmet.

So good is he.

coming out? pffft the Kinsey Scale doesn't exist on Krakoa. all that pent up repressed sexual energy from years of fighting, Charles had to have blown that back out by now. he keeps the cerebro sword over his bed specifical as a proof of conquest

[Frobisher]

I'm not sure Erik has even been shown to have a single sexual urge since Age Of Apocalypse (and that version was gross with his huge anime mullet) apart from Briar Raleigh. Clearly Erik's kink is crippled flatscans, which maybe is the only perversion he can't openly explore in the brave new world of Krakoa.
