“Magneto Triumphant!”

In "Magneto Triumphant!", the master of magnetism turns the tables on the X-Men, capturing them and imprisoning them in a high-tech lair beneath an active volcano. With a chilling display of power, Magneto disables his foes, binding them to special chairs that silence them and force them to rely on a cold, mechanical caretaker. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life with dynamic art by John Byrne and Kieron Dwyer, this pivotal issue sees Magneto’s vengeance take a terrifyingly personal turn. The cover, by Arthur Adams with inks by Terry Austin, captures the moment of his chilling victory.
