“When has Magneto ever allowed bureaucracy to get between himself and what’s just? In the island paradise of Krakoa, safe haven and home for mutants–Magneto’s hard-fought, greatest desire of seeing his people at peace and thriving has finally been achieved. But Magneto’s loyalty extends only as far as it is first earned, so after the Hellfire Gala, when he learns that even a paradise could still be filled with lies…the TRIAL OF MAGNETO will begin,” Williams said.

“I am so looking forward to working with Leah, especially with this project,” Werneck added. “Leah has incredible sensitivity in her writing and is able to craft stories that are layered and mysterious and fun for readers so I think she is perfect to write this story. Participating in the Hellfire Gala and now being invited to be part of this project is really a dream.”

X-Men: The Trial of Magneto received a teaser image from Marvel Comics veteran John Romita Jr. last week. The miniseries will join X-Corp and the newly relaunched X-Men title as part of the “Reign of X” storyline.

Written by Leah Williams and illustrated by Lucas Werneck with a cover by Valerio Schiti, X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1 goes on sale on Aug. 18 from Marvel Comics.

Also this was what Marvel was teasing last weekend which featured the art of the returning John Romita Jr.
