THE MORNING AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE...
The Hellfire Gala is over... but not all the guests have gone home. Victor Von Doom is staying for dinner. He's chatting to an old friend in a very new setting — about thrones, empires, magic, Mysterium... and the LAST ANNIHILATION!
Old Friend- Magneto? Thrones and empires looks like a call back to Krakoa´s relationship to the Shiar and the Skrull/Kree alliance, Magic - Wanda? and Mysterium - What Brand is doing is going to affect the last Anhiliation?
This looks like Dr Doom is worried/curious about Krakoa´s dyplomatic links but also about what SWORD is doing with Mysterium and Magneto´s own former family relationships, lest remember he almost married Wanda for her power so could it be him the one who question the retcon? and wonder if Magneto has a plan to use his family link or he´s wondering why Magneto himself didn´t question the axis retcon? Dr Doom recently showed the power to change minds with Hulking on Guardians of the Galaxy,could he try to use this power on Magneto to make him do something extreme for which he would be judged?
Ewing said Magneto was one of the characters from sword that he was most interested in writting at the moment but that he hardly would be the only one to explore him so I can see him, Leah and Hickman´s next title having repercutions from the Gala and "Magneto´s Trial" looks like it will be a more complex thing if it´s going to address the cosmic events of Anhiliation and also whatever reveal there will be on Planet Size.
I also think Wanda situation will be more and more important to Magneto on Krakoa but I am not sure if this will be the event that brings her into the story or something else is going to happen before that.
