X-Men United #3 challenges Beast and Magneto to a war-crimes-off (PREVIEW)

Why do you think Beast and Magneto are fighting on the cover of X-Men United #3?

The preview doesn’t offer any clues, but if I had to guess, they probably got into an argument about who did the best war crimes.

“Did YOU kill the entire crew of a Russian submarine?”

“Did YOU give a whole bunch of Skrulls the Legacy Virus?”

“Did YOU ransom the planet by threatening to reverse the Earth’s magnetic poles?”

“Did YOU mess with time by pulling the original X-Men to the present in order to Christmas Carol Cyclops?”

“Did YOU threaten to wipe out humanity from your orbital space station?”

“Did YOU abandon your adorable dog Sassafras when your book got canceled?”

Oh, Beast, you will always be the worst.

Check out our exclusive preview of X-Men United #3, out next week, and keep scrolling for the basic deets.
