It is all I can do.” In 2019’s X-Men #1, the first comic post HoX/PoX, perhaps Magneto, floating above the fray while ripping the roof off of the (then, supposedly) last Orchis facility on Earth, adorned in glowing white, his power easily overwhelming his opponents…perhaps he was a new god.

Magneto faces the sins of his past — and opens a door via a seemingly-forgotten key — in Resurrection of Magneto #2 written by Al Ewing, drawn by Luciano Vecchio, colored by David Curiel and lettered by Joe Sabino. Alone in a darkened room, illuminated only by mistakes, an old man finds himself unable — unwilling…
