HOW DID TWO OF MUTANTKIND'S MOST DANGEROUS VILLAINS BECOME PART OF CYCLOPS' X-MEN? When they met across the battlefield, Henry McCoy and Max Eisenhardt were a brilliant, jovial athlete turned super hero and a mutant revolutionary, respectively. By the time they ruled the world as leaders of Krakoa, Hank was a Beast in deed as well as name, while Magneto was a longtime ally of the X-Men shocked by the inadequacy of his fulfilled dream. Cast back into a world that hates and fears them, a pair of chance encounters will show each why that world still needs them and the X-Men! Collecting the fan-favorite FROM THE ASHES #13-18 for the first time in print!

A one-shot containing two separate stories, both centered around the main character having a crisis of faith of sorts. First up it's Magneto, as he is dealing with the loss of his powers, which makes him question his purpose. Second, it's Beast who fears he cannot escape his dark, violent side and questions his very identity. I have to mention that although I have virtually no knowledge about the Krakoa era of X-Men, I didn't feel my reading experience was hindered by this too much, and overall both stories were enjoyable in their own way.

What I liked: The somber tone of the Magneto story, and I am kind of curious where he goes from here. Blankslate roasting Cyclops was funny.
What I didn't like: depowered Magneto is just a grumpy old man. The whole Beast story was a little bit longer than it should have been.
