    Around this time of the month Marvel and DC release their advanced solicits for their upcoming titles. Marvel hasn't released their books coming out in January but one interesting "new" comic coming in January, according to the Previews website from Diamond is Magneto #1.  
     
    Unfortunately there is no other information available. There's no indication from the list whether or not this is an ongoing title or a mini-series. We also have no idea who the creative team will be on the title. 
     
    More importantly, we don't know which "Magneto" we'll be getting. Magneto currently is with the X-Men but I still can't help but wonder how long this will last. Is he truly "good" right now or will he switch back to his darker ways? Which would you rather see? Do you think Magneto could carry an ongoing title or should this just be another X-mini-series? 
      

    UPDATE 

    Marvel has officially released the info for this issue: 
    == TEASER == 
    No Caption Provided
    COVER BY: Roger Cruz
    WRITER: Howard Chaykin;
    THE STORY:
    Before the Brotherhood, before his greatest battles with the X-Men, there was a man named Erik Magnus, gathering mutants to join his cause. Does the young Magneto have what it takes to build an army? And what does all of this have to do with The Absorbing Man?

    PRICE: 3.99
    IN STORES: January 19, 2011 
     
    It's a FIRST CLASS book. You know what that means.

    FINALLY!!
     
    If it's up to par with Greg Pak's writing and takes into account everything that has happened to Magneto in the past then i'm all for it.

    I think he could support an on-going title.

    I think the comic should go for hyper-realism. It should be about a man with magnets in his gloves who robs banks by messing up computers.

    This smells like another useless X-Related one-shot/mini.  I don't have room for any more of these silly spin-offs.  Otherwise I might have considered picking it up as a cheap back issue on eBay one day ;)

    Hopefully later today we'll find out more. I'm really curious to see who will be handling the book. That's what really matters to me.

    what? NO. 
    he could pull of an on-going, but this looks so like a mini/one-shot

    @G-Man: I know it's sad, but I really look forward to the monthly solicits... Lots of pretty pictures :) 
     
    @Green ankh: I still have oodles of X-Men unlimited that do nothing but take up room.  I've toyed with the idea of getting rid of them, but I still have a soft spot for them (even though most of them are cheesy & crap).  But I really AM running out of space that I don't have the room for any X-Tom, X-Dick & X-Harry mini series that comes along...

    Magneto Testament, hell-o? right up there with Books Of Doom.
    Magneto usually gets respect from Marvel as opposed to many when its centered around him.
    Just saying.

    I really think it's time for Marvel and DC (in particular) to consolidate a lot of their multi-titled characters and teams. Marvel already did this with the Spiderman titles, I think which as far as I can tell was a very wise and successful move; and if they really have that many stories to tell, increase the publication to two or three times a month, or increase the content inside a single issue. I'm sure people wouldn't mind paying a little more for more pages of a good story, or even pay for one or two titles released twice a month each, rather than six separate titles telling very repetitive tales. X-Men, Batman, the Avengers, Wolverine, Superman……… I could go on. Am I right?

    The only way it can be an ongoing is if he leaves the X-Men, as I see it.  Can't wait to hear more

    im curious too see something after reading the mini story with X-Men vs. Vampires #1. But as for an on-going, not so much interested. The X-Universe is much better when the books have a group dynamic as opposed to characters off on their own. I love Wolverine- but he has way to many books and in too many books.  He's a vampire in one, dead in one, has the combined powers of the avengers in one and off in Egypt hanging out  with Deadpool in another.

    So you'd want to see Magneto kicking @fesak ? 
     
    @fesak: What if the twist was that Quicksilver would be starring AS Magneto?

    I posted an UPDATE (in the original post) as to what this comic is really about. Hope I didn't get anyone too excited.

    This probably has something to do with the Children's Crusade.  I haven't gotten any issues yet cause I'm waiting for the trade but I did read something where he teamed up with the young avengers in that series to try and find Wanda. Perhaps something pertaining to that?
     
    I'd love to see this book be about him mentoring the younger x-men though.

    Magneto: Testament is a really good origin/tragedy book, hope they don't trample over it with movie tie-ins.

    I love Magneto, one, if not the most powerful Marvel Hero/Villains when he does all he can actually do. Hopefully it will be good, but being linked to First Class, I have my doubts.  
    Am hopeing they rekindle the Rogue/Magneto love then have him yet again disappoint her by doing something that is rightfully needed and at the same time so "morally" wrong ^^

    Yeah! There is no need to make that question. Magneto using his powers is always something worth watching.
