I really liked this issue.  It's right up there with the first issue and issue four in my estimation.  

X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1
Written by Leah Williams
Art by Lucas Werneck and Edgar Delgado

What Happened Before: Mutants have united and live nearly all on the island of Krakoa. By combining the powers of five mutants known as the Five, mutants that die or have died can be resurrected in a cloned body. It's up to the team known as X-Factor to investigate the deaths and disappearances of mutants to prevent any duplicates from running around.

Emma Frost has organized the Hellfire Gala as matter of prestige, to show a united mutantkind to the rest of the world as they colonized Mars. What should be a moment of triumph for Krakoa is overshadowed though as a dead body is found at the end of the festivities: Wanda Maximoff, Avenger and formerly believed to be both a mutant and the daughter of Magneto. It turns out that Magneto has invited Wanda the night before; feeling uncomfortable with the way that Wanda has been demonized by many mutants on Krakoa and even if Wanda did turn out to not be his actual biological daughter, he still feels like her father, so he wanted to make amends.

Plot: I originally did not intend to buy this issue or mini-series, but it turns out that it's pretty much the continuation of the latest incarnation X-Factor, a series I enjoyed a lot. So Wanda's body is found and X-Factor investigates. All clues point to Magneto (except Magneto is trying to convince the Council to resurrect Wanda using the Resurrection Protocols of Krakoa (even if she is not an actual mutant, she registered as one to Cerebro for years, so there are mental backups, even if none of those are recent).
As X-Factor and the X-Men set out to arrest Magneto, Tommy Shepherd (who kinda/sorta is Wanda's son) notices that Wanda's body has been covered by plants and suspects that she may not actually be dead.

The Good: Williams is good at character work: I really like her Polaris and Northstar and those two take important roles this issue:
Northstar as leader of X-Factor oversees the investigation, but also keeps the X-Men/X-Force at bay so his people can do what they do best. He's serious and kinda uptight, but he is also empathetic, stopping a devastated Quicksilver from murdering Magneto, but also hugging him to console him. It's clear that Northstar can see the parallels between Quicksilver and himself, but Williams does not need to make this explicit (see also the bad, below). I don't think they ever had any real interaction before though, but they are both arrogant speedsters and overprotective big brothers to troubled sisters and you can tell that Jean-Paul is thinking to himself that if something similar happened to Aurora, his actions would not be any different.
Polaris meanwhile sees herself in Wanda and has no problems believing Magneto killed her. Magneto has always been a bad or at the least irresponsible father and while Wanda and her only rarely met (I can remember one issue of X-Factor where they try to bond as sisters), they both have had mental problems and a history of being manipulated by others around them. As X-Factor confronts Magneto, Lorna and her father exchange words and I think their relationship (which has been tenuous at best, but both were trying to make it work recently) is now irreparably damaged (I do think that Lorna had some very valid points to make on Magneto's history of using his daughters whenever he needs them and ignoring them the rest of the time).

We get a short scene to establish why the resident telepaths can't simply mindscan Magneto to establish the truth (the multitude of telepaths on Krakoa would make a regular murder mystery a short story)

We also get a short scene of Mastermind and Toad joining Quicksilver at the bar to share drinks to Wanda's memory. Even if they don't like each other, there still is a bond there.

Finally, we have a different artist for this series than for X-Factor and I love Werneck's final page of Wanda in ?heaven/purgatory/the astral plane/a dream dimension/some other place? surrounded by flowers.

The Bad: Like I said Williams sees no need to explicitedly state some characters feelings and relationships as many writers of old would do. I think the story is better for it, but it is less accessible for new readers. Then again few comics are accessible to new readers and I think most new readers will be able to fill in the blanks just fine, even if they don't get the details.

I'm kinda dreading who Wanda's killer will turn out to be though. I think it's pretty obviously not Magneto, which makes a change from his previous trials as he definitely did what he was on trial for both those times. And all other potential killers seem to lack a real motivation or means (many mutants hated Wanda for M-day, but few of them would know Wanda was even on the island). I hope it's not Xavier. Blame Xavier has been overused a lot. I also hope it's not Toad (he used to be obsessed with Wanda, but that was a long time ago and Toad has become a lot more mentally stable since then).

And to be nitpicky: Mastermind shows up in his old Brotherhood of Evil Mutants clothes, these days as member of the board of X-Corp, he usually is a lot better dressed. Then again, he's an illusionist, so maybe he just takes this appearance now to reminisce with his former comrades.

7/10: I liked this issue quite a lot, like most of Williams X-Factor, it knows its characters and their history very well and makes good use of that. I'm a bit cautious with my rating though, because it's basically a murder mystery and sticking the landing will be important here.

Yeah, the whole fear state event thing is going to severely pear down the number of books I buy, I  just have zero interest in Tynion's event and I'm so glad he's leaving soon. 

Nightwing #83. by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo.

Another great issue both in story and art.

The highlights are Dick's conversation with Superman and his new Alfred Pennyworth Foundation to fight poverty in Bludhaven. Like thwhtguardian I hate the fact that Alfred is dead but Taylor has taken a bad idea and turned it around and redeemed it somewhat.

I also hate the upcoming Batman crossover and feel it will derail this title temporarily.
