The Hellfire Gala came to a shocking end in this week’s X-FACTOR #10, as one of Marvel’s most iconic heroes the Scarlet Witch was murdered.
This shocking event sets the stage that leads directly into THE TRIAL OF MAGNETO, a brand-new limited series beginning this August written by X-Factor scribe Leah Williams with art by Lucas Werneck (Empyre: X-Men).
As the trial begins, the very future of Krakoa is threatened as the thriving mutant nation is divided. This is also a pivotal moment in Jonathan Hickman’s era of X-Men, as the ongoing tension between the Avengers and the X-Men finally explodes as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes travel to Krakoa, seeking justice for their fallen teammate.
Now, as all eyes turn to Magneto, Marvel fans know all too well that when it comes to Magneto and the Maximoff twins, nothing is ever as simple as it seems. The two already have a storied history with each other, as Magneto, during the earliest days of the X-Men, was once thought to be the father of Scarlet Witch.
Now, their unpredictable saga gets a new chapter…
