The X-Men's arch-enemy has returned--or has he? Following his mind-wipe and fall to Earth in the pages of X-Men, Magneto is back. Oddly, he now calls himself Joseph, doesn't remember his past, and looks twenty years younger. Following the Onslaught war, he lives among his once-hated enemies, the mutants known as the X-Men. Should they tell him who he once was, or will that only trigger a relapse to evil? It's a journey of self discovery for the villain fans love to hate, one which could deliver salvation...or bring his ultimate downfall.
Written by Peter Milligan and Jorge Gonzalez. Art and cover by Kelley Jones and John Beatty.
