Magneto: Not a Hero #4

The finale of this four-issue Marvel limited series arrives with a cover by Clay Mann and Seth Mann that crackles with raw intensity — Magneto, helmed and battle-worn in his orange and purple armor, grapples furiously with a white-haired female figure who channels arcing energy of her own, debris and metal shards exploding around them. It's a fittingly climactic image for Skottie Young's story, with both combatants straining against each other in what reads as a genuinely matched, high-stakes confrontation. If you've been following this 2012 series, issue four promises the kind of conclusion the title — Not a Hero — has been building toward all along.
