Resurrection of Magneto (January 2024)

[JB]

Have no idea how one can be so assured of where the sales are for Red unless they are an insider working for marvel but look forward to Ewing bringing back Magneto. ^_^

Yeah to put things in perspective Deadpool was cancelled at #10 and X-Men Red is going to at least #18, the last Fall of X issue.

Is this an arc of X-men Red or a separate mini series?

Seems like we'll be getting the details at NYCC. I'm excited!

[Devaishwarya]

To be honest, I can’t be excited for this. We all knew he’d be back eventually. And the implication that there will be another “Fall of X” phase before the new direction seems like they’re just treading ground at this point.
And this is coming from a Krakoa fan. I hope they keep the concept around, but if it’s really being laid to rest, I don’t want one year of tie-in minis until we get to something new.

This is my unspoken concern as well...They will drag this "ending" on and on, treading ground, for reasons. I would still be ignoring the majority of the line as I do now, but still...who wants a comic book version of that Trinity death scene?

My one hope is that Ewing continues to write XMR/Arakko separate from whatever shenanigans Duggan and Gillenister are cooking up, as he's doing currently with his Genesis War.

[salarta]

They're not the ones who died...why would his resurrection be about them?

I never said that. What I said is:

Given how Ewing treated Magneto’s family after and during his death, I’m going to assume this will similarly be disrespectful to his family as he comes back.

There's a huge difference between what you claim I said and what I actually said, which is that we should see content that involves Magneto's family in relation to his death and return. Instead of acting like his family doesn't exist and major things that happen with him mean nothing to them (and mean more to characters with little to no connection to him), which is what happened with his death.

So with the just released news about the Scarlet Witch book there has come some new ground to speculate on since some of the statements are very curious in the light of this.

"Following November’s SCARLET WITCH #10, Steve Orlando’s current ongoing SCARLET WITCH series will evolve in a fascinating way this January"
"In a few weeks, fans will discover Marvel’s exciting plans for the iconic Wanda Maximoff" ---> NYCC announcement
"I can't wait for folks to see what we've been conjuring up next, something that celebrates a massive milestone for Wanda and her family"
"Wanda will return stronger, bolder, and more powerful than ever—and not alone!"


Didn't pay attention to it then but looking at the teaser image now it's interesting how the Magneto part uses a Krakoan font while the resurrection part is warped. I mean we know that Magneto cannot be brought back by the usual Krakoan method because he deleted his backups.

When I read the announcement especially the "family" part, I got House of M vibes. Something happening with Wanda in January, the same month as Magneto's resurrection, is an interesting coincidence indeed.

Same here Sibz. Yes Indeedy!

I'm so glad it's continuing. And delightfully tickled that we Stans are officially her "Coven". The "Stronger, bolder, and more powerful than ever..." has me quite elated.

Wasn't there an AiPT article somewhere recently regarding a question on Polaris where JDW? (or someone else) mentioned that another writer was handling her in an upcoming book?

[ohsnapulon5000]

I knew he wouldn't... but he coulda stayed dead longer. he really did have one of the most beautiful death scenes in one of the most beautiful events in recent comic book history. he deserves to come back at an unexpected time, not some de facto balancing of scales like this return during Fall of X...

[yogaflame]

luckily magneto died on arrako.

Magneto died in the center of the Earth defeating Uranos with Storm and Iron Man.

We did all know he'd be back eventually, but this does feel too soon. I guess if anyone can make this work it's Ewing, though.

It sounds like the current volume will get canceled and then replaced with another title similar to Moon Knight.

I hope we see Quicksilver finally unite with his sister as mutants again.

Oh yes, it really sounds like there's an House of M book coming up next, in spirit if not in name. But as the House of M collection by Bendis & Coipel is regularly a very strong seller for Marvel and branding is everything, I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel reused the name for a new ongoing.

One also has to wonder, given how Wanda's book seems to be concluding at the same time Magneto returns to life, if her book isn't being used to provide a bit of a setup for that, namely with Joseph providing a conveniently younger and alive body at a time when Resurrection via the Five is off the table...

[DarkMagnus]

Maybe Wanda will resurrect Mags.

(and become a mutant again)

I've been feeling this for a while. I would love a HOM book - they feel like the Starks right now. How cool it would be to have a book starring Magneto, Scarlet Witch, Polaris, and Quicksilver addressing the rest of their crazy lineage. Wiccan, Speed, Luna, and even Zaladane, Joseph, Viv, Nocturne, Luminous...

Ewing's job is to write about Arrako so his book dealt with how Magneto's death affected Arrako and Storm who had to take over the place. There's no need for Pietro, Wanda and Polaris in such a story.

[CGAR]

Imagine if they gave us a House of Magnus book with Magneto, Polaris, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Wiccan and Speed all as rotating cast members.

I would pick this up in a heart beat.

Exactly. If anything Marvel should have just put out a “Death of Magneto” one-shot like the Fallen Friend book they did for Kamala. But Red was never going to be the place to see everyone’s reactions to Mags death.
