Al Ewing does not miss. What could have easily been a lazy or paint-by-numbers Magneto story, Ewing takes it and instead does a deep exploration on the character. Ewing examines Erik (now going by Max), his history, where he’s been, who he’s been, and how he can move forward after his latest rebirth in the wake of the Fall of X event.

Resurrection of Magneto functions as a great coda to Ewing’s X-Men Red run; as this story not only continues Ewing’s development with Storm, but includes nods to Ewing’s other miniseries Defenders Beyond (which I also highly recommend). I read this issue to issue as it came out. At the time of writing this, the fourth and final issue just dropped today. This is the best Magneto story Marvel has released in years. If you’re an X-Men fan and have been following the Krakoa era, this is a must-read.
