Collects X-Men: The Trial of Magneto (2021) #1-5. The Scarlet Witch is dead! Magneto, the master of magnetism – one of the founders of the mutant nation of Krakoa, a former villain who has never stopped fighting for mutantkind – has been accused of a horrific murder! And the trial will threaten the Reign of X and upend the world that Magneto has worked so hard to build for his fellow mutants. Wanda Maximoff, branded one of mutantkind’s deadliest enemies, has been killed on Krakoan soil! And as Earth’s heroes gather for a memorial, Magneto pushes Krakoan law and the Quiet Council to the brink. But something is wrong. Something very small. The truth is deeply hidden, but it won’t stay buried for long. Who lurks in the shadows, and what do they know? Justice will be served, the guilty will be judged and the victims will be avenged!
The original team, now called X-Factor, takes center stage when Proteus returns from the grave. But when Apocalypse strikes — infecting Cyclops’ son, Nathan, with a deadly virus — Cyclops must make a bitter sacrifice! And the current X-Men return to Earth to find that Professor X’s old foe the Shadow King has risen — and taken over Muir Island! It will take the combined strength of X-Factor and the X-Men to triumph — and when the dust clears, the two teams will become one! An uncanny new status quo is introduced as the reunited X-Men go back to basics, beginning with a deadly confrontation with Magneto and his fanatical Acolytes!

For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few.
