Magneto Rex #2

Part of Marvel's 1999 "All New X-Men Special Event," this second issue of the Magneto Rex miniseries pulses with tension right from its striking cover by Brandon Peterson and Matt Banning. A fully armored Magneto looms large, one gauntleted fist raised and crackling with energy, while a silver-haired figure — restrained by metal tubing — strains furiously in the foreground. The cover's bold challenge — "Has the prodigal son returned… to face his death?" — sets up a confrontation that feels genuinely charged, promising that "the evolution of the X-Universe" is very much underway.
