Magneto #14
Cullen Bunn (w), Gabriel Hernandez Walta (a)
Marvel Comics

Liz says: I’ve only just gotten caught up with Magneto, having jumped aboard for the Axis tie-ins and consequently realizing how much I’d been missing out by overlooking this series (newsflash: if you’re not reading it, so are you). This issue sums up what I like best about this series: it goes straight to the heart of the character, emphasizing his internalized drama and rage as equally significant to the action. And what really nails it all together is the art of Gabriel Hernandez Walta, the most interesting, remarkable, and tragically underrated artist in mainstream comics. Walta creates a mood like no one else, especially if it’s a dark one. Even if you don’t care about Magneto as a character, read it just to look at the pages – just try not to drool on them.
