Typically, I’m not a fan of the I-am-accused-of-a-crime-I-didn’t-commit-and-must-prove-my-own-innocence story. It’s been done so often and so badly in police procedurals that it takes something special for me to buy into it. It takes a lot of suspension of disbelief to accept that lawful authorities would a suspected criminal not only go free, but investigate his own alleged crime. Especially when you’re talking about a former supervillain who you have on tape murdering people, with DNA evidence to back it up.
I wasn’t sold on the plot of this issue, but I’m willing to be sold on the characterization. It’s really good so far. As a character study of Magneto, and a (literal) look inside his head, this miniseries has potential. Skottie Young’s got an interesting voice for Magneto, so I’m curious to see where he goes with this. Then again, it occasionally gave me flashbacks to the 1994 Northstar miniseries (which I first read recently), another story of a mutant with a checkered past who has to confront old demons to exonerate himself of a crime — with a completely ridiculous payoff. I’m positive that this wasn’t what Skottie Young was going for; it’s just where my mind goes when I read this.
Clay Mann’s art is a definite plus, very crisp and detailed — when Magneto’s using his powers, you can see every screw and metal doodad floating in the air, down to the smallest detail. That’s what’s going to make or break this book: The details.
