Nice interview with Steve Orlando

AIPT: Now you’ve got me all nostalgic, thinking back to all the X-Men comics and trade paperbacks I picked up at Waldenbooks in the ’90s. And speaking of nostalgia, you recently tweeted the cover of Captain America Annual #4, featuring Magneto and the mutants who would go on to become Mutant Force. When we spoke at Terrificon in 2019, you mentioned your desire to use one of these characters–Lifter. Now, you’ve got Heroes Reborn: Magneto & The Mutant Force #1 on the way. What is it about that classic Jack Kirby story that resonates with you?

Steve: I’ll say this! I DO love Mutant Force, and Lifter especially! But the influence of that annual on Magneto & the Mutant Force is NOT found in those characters… but instead, someone stranger! You’ll see very soon!

But as for the King, I have always thought he was ahead of his time, and this annual is no different. The issue features an argument between Magneto and Captain America over who gets to decide a mutant’s fate. Cap considers himself the moral authority, but Magneto argues it should fall on a mutant to judge the actions of another mutant. As a human, even an enhanced human, Cap doesn’t have the context or authority to judge a mutant’s actions. And of course, it blows up into explosive Kirby madness, but the core idea there is one that’s still relevant today when it comes to respecting and listening to cultural boundaries and lived experience. And here was the King, working through that theme decades ago!

AIPT: What should readers going into Magneto & The Mutant Force #1 know about mutants in the Heroes Reborn universe?

Steve: If we do our job right, you should get everything you need just in this issue! But with that in mind, Heroes Reborn examines a Marvel Universe without the Avengers. Instead, the Squadron Supreme of America is the world’s premier superteam. With that twist, the entire history of mutants is changed, along with the histories of everyone else in the Marvel Universe. For the mutants, specifically, folks will see quickly that after a massive clash with the Squadron, mutant numbers are dwindling worldwide. And morale is maybe even lower than the population. Magneto has done all he can to inspire and protect the world’s surviving mutants, but after years of struggling along, he’s desperate for a way to even the scales against the Squadron. And as our story opens, he finds it in the most unexpected of places… the recesses of his own mind!

AIPT: Funny you should mention, because when Magneto & The Mutant Force #1 was announced (right here at AIPT), you mentioned the Heroes Reborn event is a nod to epics like Age of Apocalypse and House of M. You also warned there was a psychic rescue in progress. Should X-Fans expect a few winks to the X-History they’re more familiar with in this alternate-universe tale?

Steve: You absolutely should! Everything’s changed in the world of Heroes Reborn, but that doesn’t mean we don’t see ripples and reflections of events we know. As far as Age of Apocalypse and House of M go, those events speak to Heroes Reborn as a whole, since the books take place in an alternate present created by one twist in the past. But as far as the psychic rescue, or the Mutant Massacre, or other benchmark moments… we’ll definitely be examining them inside the pages of this story, and showing you how dangerous this strange new world is for our favorite mutants.

AIPT: It was fun to see Sabra alongside X-Men A-listers like Magneto, Rogue and Emma Frost on the one-shot’s cover. Could you talk a bit about why you chose to include her in your story?

Steve: I’ve always been intrigued by mutant heroes who don’t generally associate with the X-Men. That goes for Whirlwind, or Namor, or Typhoid Mary, or in this case… Sabra! So that’s where the core idea came from, using the alternate world team of mutant freedom fighters to showcase a different type of roster. But Sabra specifically made sense for this team as a strategist and mercenary, and someone who shares a cultural background with Magneto, someone he would look to as a confidant and advisor. She brought the right amount of independence, power, and skill to what is mostly a ragtag team of survivors. And for those survivors, she’s the one guarding the door, keeping the dangers at bay.

From writer Leah Williams and rising star artist Lucas Werneck comes THE TRIAL OF MAGNETO, a new X-Men series launching in August. Spinning out of the stunning events of June’s Hellfire Gala, THE TRIAL OF MAGNETO will deal with the aftermath of a violent death that occurs on mutantkind’s big night.

A horrific murder. A horrifying revelation. A trial that will divide the new mutant nation.

This thrilling saga will threaten the Reign of X and upend the world of mutants. And with the very future of Krakoa hanging in the balance, mutantkind’s relationship with the rest of the Marvel Universe may never be the same. The current team of mutant investigators from Leah Williams’ acclaimed run on X-FACTOR will play a vital role in solving this complex mystery, and fans should pick up X-FACTOR #10, a Hellfire Gala tie-in and the final issue of the series, on June 30 to discover whose tragic fall leads into this new X-Men epic.

“When has Magneto ever allowed bureaucracy to get between himself and what’s just? In the island paradise of Krakoa, safe haven and home for mutants--Magneto’s hard-fought, greatest desire of seeing his people at peace and thriving has finally been achieved. But Magneto’s loyalty extends only as far as it is first earned, so after the Hellfire Gala, when he learns that even a paradise could still be filled with lies...the TRIAL OF MAGNETO will begin,” Williams teases.

"I am so looking forward to working with Leah, especially with this project,” Werneck says. “Leah has incredible sensitivity in her writing and is able to craft stories that are layered and mysterious and fun for readers so I think she is perfect to write this story. Participating in the Hellfire Gala and now being invited to be part of this project is really a dream."

The truth is hidden, the danger is far from over, and the trial has begun. Be there for the story that will shake Krakoa to its core when THE TRIAL OF MAGNETO #1 hits stands on August 18! In the meantime, check out the classified cover by Valerio Schiti above, and stay tuned for the final version which will reveal the character who meets their untimely end at the Hellfire Gala!
