Magneto in the Raw. Magneto #1

magneto #1,marvel comics,cosmic comics!Magneto #1 review

We all know Magneto is a bad ass, everyone knows that, no one doubts that, but when you make a book dedicated to the man, the myth, the legend, everything almost becomes unbelievable. Magneto #1 is proof that you can make the most evil villain of villains seem eviler…eviler? Right! It does that.

Magneto #1 follows along the Uncanny X-Men storyline, one where Erik has almost disappeared from, following his own agendas. If you’ve been wondering where he’s been, well, Magneto #1 will tell you. He’s been hunting down those who have been hunting mutants, and he’s been doing a damn good job, maybe even too good.

Cullen Bunn’s Magneto #1 is raw and unforgiving. This isn’t your Stan Lee X-Men book, it’s dark edgy and incredibly violent. I feel strange thinking it, but it fits Magneto. He’s been siding with Cyclops and the X-Men for so long I forget he was once an enemy, an intelligent tyrant who knew when to murder to survive. Not to mention the book is a brilliant sideline to the current Uncanny X-Men story, something Marvel is doing excellent work of, entangling all the books into one giant web of stories. I’m really loving it.

magneto #1,marvel comics,cosmic comics!Sadly though, Magneto #1 loses some cred due to the art from Gabriel Hernandez Walta. Yes his art is rough and edgy just like the book’s story, but it’s also stiff and…frumpy. Magneto does look menacing, but he also looks like a top heavy Michael Chiklis, intimidating yes,  but not Magneto. This is all my opinion of course, one I’m entitled to since I’m writing the review.

I guess I’ll just say it again, Magneto #1 is a great book, written very well and a nice companion to the X-Men books it accompanies. Read it and be warned, the things you see might surprise you.
