Giant-Size X-Men: Magneto #1

I would say that he is a villain, but he does things he has to do. -- Jonathan Hickman

Yes, because an island with a giant sentinel head just screams 'come visit'

[crabby_lioness]

"But be on your good behavior."

[angelophile]

It does seem an odd choice, given what happened to the last island Magneto controlled.

[scorntx]

Hey, that wasn't his fault!
Swear, a guy just happens to be running an island when his ex's crazy sister kills everyone on it and everyone acts like it's a habit...


(... actually, come to think of it, whatever happened to that island Magneto raised from the ocean in the 80s?)

Cthulhu took it back?

[johnnychaos]

It was sort of a generic-brand Great Value Cthulu.

The one with huge statues to elder gods that had stepping disks to Limbo popping up all over the place and swallowing people? Can't imagine why we haven't seen the X-Men vacationing there anymore...

[buxnalaus]

If I had to guess, Emma's going more for a "Never Forget" vibe.

[johnnychaos]

I just love how the island's design is like, THIS IS MY SUPERVILLAIN LAIR.

[super_fly]

A destroyed sentinel's head, mind. A hunter wouldn't consider their room of animal trophies to be intimidating to visitors.

[donnblake]

Quick- someone convince Kraven that Sentinels are the most dangerous game!

[super_fly]

Sounds like a god for Squirrel Girl


Again.

[scorntx]

So... rather than get a look inside Erik's head, see how he feels about the developments of late, of working with mutants like Apocalypse or even Moira, or the workings of Genosha, we just get the Adventures of Two Grumpy Old Men?
Well, alright then.
(I know, I know, character moments aren't really Hickman's thing. Just another jigsaw piece in his super-duper epic. But still...)


Though admittedly, Namor and Magneto just being Grumpy Old Men would, most other times, have a certain appeal.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

At first, I thought this was when they were looking for a place to settle before ending up on Krakoa, but I guess Emma wanted her own separate island?

[locuatico]

Look, living in a orgy island sounds fun at first, but after the first week you begin to miss not hearing people's constant orgasm every second of every day.

[cainofdreaming]

Hearing? Imagine having it all inside your brain.

I'm guessing Charles' helmet's secondary function is to block all horny thoughts.

[mastermahan]

"I'm sure the helmet is working! Why do I still have horny thoughts when Magneto is around?"
