So Magneto was basically someone from the times of World War II. That about it, isn't it? And he is a Jew and he has frustration hidden within him. Oh great, I loved the ending of this issue.🤩
Wonderful introductory story about amazing Magneto. Greg Pak is a master writer so it reads so smoothly that pages just fly so fast and you wish for more. Highly recommended!
