Magneto is one of the most complex characters in the Marvel Universe. Originally bursting onto the scene as the ultimate diabolical foil for the X-Men, he has since taken on many different roles. Over the last 60 years, Magneto has evolved from villain to hero, friend, and teacher and managed to move between the roles in organic ways. Magneto's tenure as headmaster of Xavier's School in the professor's absence become a fan-favorite and critical era for the character. Magneto #1, written by J.M. DeMatteis with art by Todd Nauck, colors by Rachelle Rosenberg, and letters by VC's Travis Lanham, takes readers back to that beloved era for a new tale further exploring the contradictions and complexities of the Master of Magnetism.
