I really enjoyed it, I can remember how great it felt when I first read it a few years ago such that I found the most inspirational quote (from ANY comicbook) in this one! Magneto is superb and you would probably like reading his stories.
The revel came way to early for my liking. Otherwise, the art and ink are amazing, but sadly I felt the storyline was by the numbers.
Guys, Magnet-Man’s not a hero - except he IS say whaaaaat?! OMGFHFHGH! Nah, he’s just the star of another shit comic. “Magneto” kills some anti-mutant protestors - or did he?!?!!? Snore… Magneto: Not a Hero was awful! If Marvel’s top two corniest tropes are time-travel and “Secret” events, their third is clones and this turd is riddled with ‘em! Magneto fights a clone of himself and then clones of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Bo-ring! I don’t know what the point of this one was but entertain...
MehWhat a lame comic was expecting more got boring story instead. I was clearly thinking this was a different comic an wasted my money on this purchase!
Despite Magneto's past as a terrorist, he's now part of the X-Men and doesn't appear to be wanted. Unfortunately when a man matching Magneto's description and powers massacres anti mutant protestors, everyone assumes Magneto is up to his old tricks. Magneto is attempting to find out who is ruining his already poor reputation.Not a Hero has the pieces to be an interesting story, but the author opted for a short obvious tale instead. Only the newest of readers would be surprised at what happened h...
i might just eat the art from this one
Admittedly I am not well versed in US comics having read Indian comics since the beginning. So X-Men are more known to me by the movies than the comic books. This 4 books arc was based on Magneto and he has turned a good guy now. But a video surfaces showing him killing people.Magneto denies the charges but then who killed all those people. This is a nice comic but then again. There is nothing too much special. You get to see The Avengers and X-Men so that was cool.Do read you won't mind it then...
All I want is a story worthy of what a great character Magneto is. That is apparently too much to ask.
Continuing the great x-read of 2017/2018... (and I am very far behind on reviews again so this batch will once again be short. One of these days I will get back to reviewing each volume as I finish them so they don't all sort of start bleeding together in my head as they tend to do.)Another forgettable tale that is surface deep at best and brings nothing new to the table. Can I rant for a tiny second? The idea of Joseph's character could have been amazing if handled well - there was a lot of dep...
Good look at the conflict of Magneto's morals and ethics. His constant dilemma of reverting to killing or not. I recommend this to any X-Men fanGood look at the conflict of Magneto's morals and ethics. His constant dilemma of reverting to killing or not. I recommend this to any X-Men fan
3.5 StarsThis wasn't a bad read, it just seemed a little..superfluous. Magneto is caught on film murdering a meeting of anti-mutant haters. But it wasn't him. Or was it?There just wasn't a whole lot to this. The art was good, and the story wasn't bad, but it just seemed lacking...something.
Quick readThe art was good and the action interesting g. The story was ok, and quickly remedied. Nothing felt in peril. The Avengers just raised their fur, but left it alone. It was always nice to see both teams. Well as Tony mouthing off.
Skottie Young tells a very 90s X-Men story, I just don't know that was the intent. Magneto is accused of a crime he didn't commit and is given two days to clear himself. Its as cliched as it sounds. The plot was depressingly basic but Young's dialogue was fun. Clay Mann's art was spectacular. Overall, this book didn't need to be written. No one was screaming for another Magneto tale offering nothing new but it did hold my attention due to Mann's art and my love for the 90s nostalgia.
I am a huge fan of Skottie Young's artwork. In fact, he is probably my favorite overall artist in comics right now and I know how many awesome ones there are. The reason I enjoy his style so much is because of the fantastic whimsy he portrays with each of his characters and really makes them look like something otherwordly. All that to say, I'm not such a big fan of his writing. I've read some of his other stuff and it just never really amounts to anything. Sure, they can be fun stories, but I w...
Magneto is one of the good guys now. Or is he? A video of a man who looks like Magneto and uses his powers is showing him murder the members of an anti-mutant group. With his DNA at the scene it's difficult for Magneto to prove himself innocent to Tony Stark. He gets help from Emma Frost to find the real culprit - his clone Joseph whom everyone thought dead.(view spoiler)[Joseph was resurrected by Astra of Magneto's old Brotherhood. She has also resurrected other members who, though deformed, ar...
What a trip! I totally forgot Joseph was a thing.This is a throwback to the Zero Tolerance and Magneto War era, which is admittedly not the best chapter in X history.Still, the nostalgia was fulfilling. It’s a tightly paced little story about clone stuff, with Magneto “confronting his past self” or some relevant cliche. Is the “inspired?” No. Is it entertaining? Yeah, totally. And the art is really cool. And it’s so short that you may as well read it.
I liked the art a lot, but the writing just goes in circles. Although it does have a great line about Iron Man; "People look up to you as if you have some kind of power. You and I both know you're just a weak human playing pretend with his toys from Sharper Image."
i need more magneto comics !!!!
Hail MagnetoGood Story and artwork . Magneto is cool as always. I never knew before that he had a clone .
There was no undercurrent..Too much of the story was dependent on preconcieved known character traits and reactions. Disappointed. I don't want to spoil anything. Not enough backstory for this to stand up on it's own. An unitiated new reader would not know what they were looking at, let alone reading the storyline.
