Ben Oliver, known for his seminal work on ULTIMATE X-MEN, is the perfect artist to capture the emotion behind Magneto’s new role as mutant ambassador.

It’s been many years since I last worked on an X-Men related project. I couldn’t be happier than to be working with Jonathan…I’ve long been a fan of Jonathan’s work, and Magneto as a character, so to collaborate on this project is fantastic.

Under Chris Claremont’s pen, Magneto was equipped with a tragic backstory, shedding light on his motivations and developing him into one of the most complex characters in the Marvel Universe.
