365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #11: Magneto vol #2 (Marvel Now)

I loved reading the first volume, it was one of those unexpected good reads. Since then I had been meaning to pick up the second volume but so far I haven't gotten around to it.

Magneto is one of those characters that can be hard to write sometimes. However a good writer can bring out all of his complexities because Magneto is neither good nor bad. And I found that those gray areas can make for an interesting story.



Book: Magneto volume #2: Reversals (issue #7-12) by Cullen Bunn with illustrations by Gabriel Hernandez Walta and Javi Fernandez

Description:

AXIS tie-in! Magneto was once arguably the most powerful mutant on the planet. But recently, his powers have been reduced to a whisper of what they once were. How far will he go to become the Master of Magnetism once more? When Magneto discovers that mutants are being hauled away to a re-education camp, he investigates...and discovers that the Red Skull is behind the operation! And worse, the villain possesses the brain and powers of Magneto's deceased friend, Charles Xavier! Taking this affront personally on many levels, Magneto vows to take down the Red Skull once and for all - but as the Skull sends the world into a spiral of destruction, will Magneto crumple before the maniac?
