I wasn't onboard the idea of yet another Trial of Magneto (because seriously, can't we come up with new stories already? Featuring many of the underutilized mutant characters with untapped potential on the X-Men roster? Instead of rehashing old plots with the same ol' faces?) but was surprisingly intrigued and engaged by what Leah Williams has given X-fans so far in these pages. Consider me onboard as of now.
- The writing is good, even beautiful in some places. As in the prose, the turn of phrase, the emotional delivery for each character beat. However I still feel that Magneto going back to his brash, belligerent self has undone the character growth we've seen in him since Dawn of X, and that's a shame. It feels too sudden a U-turn, in particular him attacking Xavier like that… which I hope will be addressed or explained in future issues.
- Artwork is great too. Not perfect, as I don't quite dig how the male faces are drawn but the overall look is neat and pleasing. The panel where Northstar hugs Quicksilver in sympathy and to calm him down legit made me shed a tear. Also regardless of how unappealing Magneto's face looks, the female mutants especially Mystique looks PHENOMENAL. X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1 wanda's bits were the best part, I think X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1 Minddd blowinggggg X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1 The stick stays. Leah Williams' Northstar is fantastic.
This didn't waste any time ratcheting up the tension and intensity. A lot happens and it's handled well. Great start. X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1 Beautiful writing, equally beautiful art. I haven't picked up an X-Men comic since I was a kid but this makes me want to pick up on what I've missed. Looking forward to the rest of this particular series X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1
L'indagine sulla morte di Wanda, condotta da X-Factor (ma dato che i pezzi grossi pensano di essere i soli a poter fare bene le cose, X-Men e X-Force controllano e ricontrollano ogni mossa degli investigatori. Simpaticissimi.
Basta un accenno alla possibilità dell'utilizzo di un qualche tipo di metallo perché i tre gruppi decidano per la colpevolezza di Magneto.
Colpevolezza che era già data per assodata da quasi tutto il Consiglio, tra frecciatine e accuse più o meno esplicite. E mentre Magneto chiedeva la resurrezione della figlia, solo Kitty e Kurt lo hanno appoggiato e così la richiesta è caduta nell'oblio, con Erik a dichiarare apertamente che questa scelta potrebbe sancire la fine del progetto Krakoa.
Comprensibile, che un uomo come Magneto possa decidere di mandare tutto a monte per vendetta contro chi ha deciso a mente fredda di non riportare in vita la figlia morta.
Però se il Magnus sopra le righe, violento e devastato ci sta, quello che non mi è piaciuto è stato il far branco per saltargli alla gola. Senza certezze, se non quelle dei pregiudizi.
Non so, pensavo\mi aspettavo di meglio dal postumanesimo di Krakoa, che non questa sorta di giuria popolare che decide di pancia chi sia il colpevole.
Poi mettiamoci una Jean che si dichiara incapace, da sola, di entrare nella mente sedata di Magneto e il pasticcio è servito.
Davvero? Jean Grey, una delle telepati più potenti della Terra?
Spero migliori. X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1 Lol, this series was sort of confusing. Wanda and the Xmen have had a long-hard relationship and most of them don’t like her (for good reason) and this comic makes it seem as if they do like her…? Like Rachel Summers does not like Wanda, after wanda did the no more mutants thing Rachel had a really bad time dealing with it, and which would obviously lead to the fact she wouldn’t really like Wanda and wouldn’t want to interact with her and for some reason…Rachel Wants to help Wanda? Also TBH wandas art design is so inconsistent. If we’re talking about recent years Wanda this verison of Wanda doesn’t really look like any of them (Comic Wanda usually has shorter hair, and comic Wanda is around a light brown due to her Romani heritage) this comic strip is sort of trying to make her look like 80’s Wanda and Elizabeth Olsen…at the same time? I love Lizzie Olsen as Wanda, don’t get me wrong- but Lizzie simply does not really look like…and that’s perfectly fine- a lot of actors don’t look that much alike too there comic counterpart but I hate when they change the design tk match the actor! Fills me with rage. Anyway, there are better comics to read, read daredevil (2019) and Rogue and Gambit! X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1 I feel like the character work done here was very to excellent. I love that this is a logical development in the story arc of The Scarlett Witch is evil to mutants.
I’m interested to see what goes on next. X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1 The trial starts with a murder investigation. This could have been a single issue like X-Men #200, which was the last trial of Magneto I remembered. Now, it's a mini-series event. Personally, I think it's just overkill. X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1 More of a 3.5 but I'm willing to round up. This took X-Factor, a team that has been a lot better in theory than in execution, and just barely managed to make them come across as more competent and respectable than ever. X-Force's presence was supposed to feel like an intrusion to X-Factor, and it always feels like an intrusion to readers, too.
As usual for X-Force, only Wolverine and Domino were actually physically present, maybe with Beast and Sage communicating by comms from somewhere else, and we consider that good enough to say they're a team.
Anyway, so the Scarlet Witch is dead. Which we already knew. And this issue showed the investigation that led to why Magneto is the prime suspect in her murder. I do like how this issue had Magneto continue to refer to Wanda and Pietro as his children, which has been the status quo for many decades up until the much-maligned retcon in recent years. The fact this issue gave some respect to the previous decades of continuity makes me feel slightly better. In more recent years, when terrible writers try to implement some horrible retcon (Tini Howard, I'm looking at you), it usually feels like Marvel editorial wants to collectively pretend as if previous continuity never happened.
However, some of that bizarre retcon-at-all-costs mentality is still at play with Wiccan and Speed. We briefly see Speed here acting all traumatized by Wanda's death, commenting on how he hasn't been able to tell Wiccan.
WHY WOULD WICCAN OR SPEED EVEN CARE!?
Wanda didn't raise either of them, nor did she even truly give birth to them. She was, at most, a spiritual egg donor they have BARELY met somewhere around age 16.
THEY WOULDN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HER. They have no relationship. Hell, Wiccan and Speed barely have a relationship with each other. They met and learned of each other's existence somewhere around 16, prior to that growing up with different families. They have been teammates since then, so they have hung out and communicated by phone quite a bit.
BUT NOT WITH FUCKING WANDA.
Mrs. Kaplan is Billy's mom. Writers never got around to giving Tommy a mom, but presumably she is Mrs. Shepard?
Jean is inexplicably weaker than ever before, unable to just dip into Magneto's brain to determine whether he killed Wanda or not. This is moronic. Even without the Phoenix Force, Jean has connected to the minds of every person on the planet. She should be entirely capable of delving into a sleeping person's mind and looking up one recent memory. And even if for some reason she couldn't, then Rachel should be more than capable of doing it. She is supposed to be more powerful than Jean, not less.
*Shrugs* We shall see. I won't be happy until the retcon is undone and we establish that Wanda and Pietro are, in fact, Magneto's kids again. X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1
