Magneto Is About to Form His Own, All-New Mutant Team | CBR

The Heroes Reborn miniseries from Jason Aaron and Ed McGuiness will rewrite the universe, presenting a world where the Avengers never formed and the Squadron Supreme are Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Now a one-shot will see what happened to the world's mutants, particularly Magneto.

Heroes Reborn: Magneto and the Mutant Force #1 features the Master of Magnetism as one of the last survivors of the Squadron's "Mutant Massacre," which claimed the lives of many mutants — including Charles Xavier. When Magneto discovers that Xavier's spirit is residing on the Astral Plane, he gathers together a group of mutants, including Rogue and Emma Frost, to conduct a "first-of-its-kind rescue mission" that pits them against the Squadron. The one-shot will be written by Steve Orlando and illustrated by Bernard Chang, with a cover by Nick Bradshaw.

"I didn’t expect Magneto & The Mutant Force, and those unexpected moments are where some of the most exciting stories are found," Orlando told AIPT Comics in a statement. "The world of Heroes Reborn is a beautiful nod to the iconic traditions of events like Age of Apocalypse or House of M, the very kinds of events that pulled me in from the mall hallways and guided me to the spinner rack as a kid. Jason [Aaron] and Ed's [McGuinness] world shows us just how pivotal the Avengers are by their absence, and for Magneto and his Mutant Force, the fight for mutant freedom is deadlier than ever."

  • CAN MAGNETO RESURRECT HOPE FOR MUTANTKIND BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE?
  • Years ago, Magneto and Professor X led Earth’s mutants in a final push for independence against the Squadron Supreme of America. What followed was the Squadron’s Mutant Massacre, a violent rebuttal that left Mutantkind forever wounded, and Xavier dead…or so Magneto thought. Years later, Magneto discovers Xavier clinging to life in the astral plane and gathers his allies for a first-of-its-kind rescue mission. Too bad the same mission puts the Mutant Force back on the Squadron’s radar! Failure means the last gasp of Mutant-kind, but success means the first breaths of something even more elusive to the mutants of Heroes Reborn: HOPE.
  • RELEASE DATE: May 2021
