Single Issues
Hey, hey! Kyra Kyle here. Today is my youngest daughter’s birthday. Content 24th birthday! One more year and you can rent a car. Is that still true? Anyway, I wanted to bring assist the comic guide starter stories and asked her which character she’d fond of me to cover this week. She answered Magneto.
You heard the girl. Geekly will be covering its first comic book starter stories for a supervillain. We may hold some growing pains with this topic. Villains are a little more complicated to recommend starter stories for, but I’ll do my best. The accompanying list should offer you an concept of which stories you should study to get to know Magneto better.
We’re doing this list a little differently than prior starter comic book stories. We’ll start with single issues and then move on to story arcs that consist of multiple comic books.
Uncanny X-Men #1
(written by Stan Lee/art by Jack Kirby; )
This first entry cheats a little bit. Uncanny X-Men #1 is the first appearance of Magneto and the X-Men. Since the issue does double duty and sets up Magneto and the X-Men, there’s
Recently, someone suggested I receive a look at Chris Claremont and Brent Eric Anderson&#;s X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills (). After reading, I came away noting the number of similarities between the 36 year old graphic novel and the present moment. In an interview on the 35th anniversary of its publication, Claremont and Anderson, along with interviewer Alex Abad-Santos, talk about the correlations between God Loves, Man Kills and the present moment. Today, I want to stare at the book and pull out some specific scenes that, sadly, still feel very much relevant to our current cultural moment.
God Loves, Man Kills was, until , a non-canonical one off X-Men story. The narrative revolves around the Reverend William Stryker&#;s desire to rid the planet of undesirable &#;muties.&#; He sees mutants as an abomination and as an affront to God&#;s plan. As such, he launches a crusade to eliminate them, specifically in the novel from America. To achieve back, Stryker deploys a rhetoric of fear and nationalism where he paints mutants as abominations, animals, and an infestation on societ
X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills &#; The Extended Edition Review!
God Loves, Man Kills is a good that’s hard to return to. This doesn’t stop it from happening, however.
The most thriving of these returns, ’s X2: X-Men United, wasn’t even a comic book but a movie.
Even it took liberties with the material, but this is to be expected.
Certainly, posing William Stryker as a military general with ties to Lady Deathstrike and the Weapon X proposal that created Wolverine streamlines the X-Men mythos for viewing audiences, and plays better on the big screen than would a more closely adapted reverend-and-goons combo. The film, while inexplicably outperformed profit-wise by X3: The Last Stand, did manage to outshine the first film and the Wolverine: Origins movie at the box office, and is generally considered to be the foremost of the four “original cast era” films.
Ironically enough, the Fox film inspired another attempt at catching lightning in a bottle. This was an

X-Men Epic Collection, Vol. God Loves, Man Kills
This Epic Collection packs five essential X-Men storylines, the God Loves, Bloke Kills original graphic novel, which is arguably one of the best X-Men graphic novels ever written, the introduction of the Morlocks, the first Wolverine limited series (illustrated by Frank Miller), the wedding of Wolverine, and the wedding of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor.
The original graphic novel and the Wolverine limited series are two Claremont masterpieces, essential study for any X-Men fan, as for the main series, the first run-in with the Morlocks is a very cool story arc, which features one of coolest periods of Storm (Mohawk Storm), who is leading the team at this point, and has an iconic combat with Calypso. The weddings on the other hand is hit and lose, stories about superhero weddings are rarely any fine, but to my surprise, I kinda enjoyed Wolverine's wedding story arc in which he fights the Silver Samurai, twice, and partners up with Rogue, who ends up earning a place in the team after that. Now, the wedding of Cyclops and Pryo
