Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

There were a couple good moments, so I bumped it up one star, but this is also a Chris Claremont tale - and I expected more.   I got it through the Marvel Insider program: you get points for doing things, then can get things like digital comics.   I was hoping that Claremont writing Magneto, my favorite X-Men villain, would be a win for me.   It.... was not. 

There was so much virtue signaling.   Which, I mean, yeah, it's Magneto's whole schtick, but this was just written so badly - so much message overtaking the story - that I couldn't believe Claremont had written it.   His usual subtlety was thrown right out the window, and I cringed many, many times. 

Add to that the fact that I wasn't crazy about the art?   Yup, just a hard pass on more of this.   Looked it up, and looks like the 'Black' line is just bunch of one-shots, but after this I want no part in the rest of the line. 

Also, the backstory was about one of my least favorite X-Men villains, Apocalypse, so I don't even care what happens with that.   Oh, well, onto better reads!
