X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #3

Werneck and Messina deliver some great art throughout the issue. The characters look great, the emotions on their faces are well done and the action is visually thrilling. Read Full Review

X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #3 deepens the mystery surrounding the Scarlet Witch's death, but strangely decides to sideline its title character. The series only has two issues left, so hopefully, this series will recenter its focus on Magneto and fully solve the mystery of Wanda Maximoff's murder. I also wouldn't say no to more Kaiju.

X-Men: The Trial Of Magneto #3 has a great ending, but the rest of the book feels like padding it. Its not a bad comic, but its not as good as previous issues. The art is also weaker than what came before, which doesnt help. This one is lucky the ending is so good. Read Full Review

Fans get a weird concoction of action and mystical nonsense that ultimately masks the lack of story wrapped in a cocoon of confusion. Read Full Review

X-Men: The Trial of Magneto#3 boasts beautiful artwork thanks to Lukas Werneck, who makes sure every page seems bursting with life. Unfortunately, issue #3 is definitely the weakest of the story thus far because of how it meanders around, making one wonder how much more concise this plot would be if itwasjust anotherX-Factorarc instead of this blown-out miniseries. But, what Trial of Magneto#3 does best is set up its next issue with that shocking reveal. Read Full Review

It's not necessarily a bad book, but it's definitely trying to accomplish more than a limited series should. Time will tell if it actually gets where it's going, but I'm not optimistic. Read Full Review

Although the mystery surrounding Wanda is intriguing, it seems like Williams isn't sure of the direction she's taking the story. So much is already going on that isn't being addressed that I am left to wonder what the point is? Read Full Review

The Trials of Magneto #3 had a genre shift in the middle of the series that felt jarring and inorganic. Read Full Review

If you still want to read it maybe go back and read the first two entries in the series first. I would not go out of my way to read this one however. Read Full Review

Some truly baffling story choices derail this comic to the point of it being unrecognizable. Read Full Review

More disturbing is that there are (checks notes) two more issues of this to get through. In that 60% of the story has been bad thus far, that's more like a threat than anything else. This train isn't stopping, and we're all just being dragged along the tracks. Read Full Review

X-Men: Trial of Magneto #3 goes entirely off the rails and reads like a jumble of random events, abandoning any sense of cohesion. Read Full Review

This was pretty good. I don't understand some of the complaints about the story suddenly not making sense or the hyperbole of this being the worst issue ever. Users on this site need to get better at paying attention to what they read, or at the very least not continue to read things which they deem bothersome, while those things make up the majority of what they read, or at least rate here. This issue is about on the level as the other ones. It gets even crazier when you see post hoc justification for hating earlier issues because of the writer, because this issue was not good. This community really makes me roll my eyes sometimes.

Kaiju...? Where in the heck did that come from? And why? Just... why? This issue made very little sense and didn't seem to advance the story much at all. They could have just showed the Scarlet Witch stuff and left out the nonsensical anime battle. A 7/10 is probably generous for this issue but I'm still enjoying this book overall so, there you go.

Many of the ideas in here are well above average. They don't seem to belong to one cohesive story, though, and the pace is wonky, leaving this issue merely average overall.

I'm not sure what to make of this issue and I think that's kind of the point. Everything is enshrouded in chaos magic and the disjointed pacing of the issue left me with a weird feeling as a reader. It felt like it had a little too much to do and not enough pages to do it in. We now know that the hooded figure who murdered Wanda and stole the Cerebro backup was an older Wanda, but everything else is still a bit of a mess. Magneto isn't really on trial here and a lot of the X-Factor stuff that was great in #1 has been dropped.

Its safe to say this series went downhill fast

I liked the first 2 issues, but this one felt like a filler. Which isn't very good for a book that is meant to be the midpoint of a miniseries.

Literally embarassing. Abysmal writing.

Turned to garbage pretty quick! Wanda comes back and everyone stops fighting suddenly and go to dinner (?). Then they ask her what happened but they literally don't even listen to her answers (??) while Krakoa is being attacked by giant Kaijus (???). Also, where is the trial? You know, the thing this event was named after?

This is easily the worst comic I’ve ever read from Leah Williams.

Uff, what about creativity? has gone out the window? I don't like me at all

I'm struggling to understand the purpose of this comic in the grand X-Men narrative. If it's to redeem Wanda, I'd argue she works better as a Krakoan Boogey (Wo)man. If it's to remake Magneto into a villain, well I'd say that's lazy and counterproductive considering everything he brings to the X-Men now. If it's to make people miss her run on X-Factor... well, that just isn't working, for me at least. P.S. I'm all for creative uses of mutations. I liked it when Eyeboy's abilities branched beyond simply having lots of eyes. That said, he can see "intentions?" Come on...

This issue was so off the rails that I honestly had to go back and re-read the first two issues to make sure I was reading the same mini-series. Not good...

Yep, the book is falling more and more in classic Leah Williams territory, as in awfully bad, this is just a bunch of nonsense with mediocre art.

Tamarin. This comic is a joke, nothing makes sense, the script is all full of holes, it's like a 4-year-old child was writing. I don't know how Marvel still lets this Leah Williams write anything, because everything she writes is mediocre.
