Magneto will headline the next installment in Jonathan Hickman's Giant-Size X-Men. Joining Hickman is the former Ultimate X-Men artist, Ben Oliver.
“It's been many years since I last worked on an X-Men related project, and I couldn't be happier than to be working with Jonathan,” Oliver said in a statement. “I've long been a fan of Jonathan's work, and Magneto as a character, so to collaborate on this project is fantastic.”
A description of the one-shot teases Magneto working with humans to continue the prosperity of Krakoa, which is something that goes against his deepest beliefs: "Determined to make this new dream of Krakoa prosper, Magneto must now make dealings with his former sworn enemy— humanity!"

Len Wein and David Cockrum debuted Giant-Size X-Men in 1975, with the special issue ushering in the likes of Nightcrawler and Storm. Jean Grey and Emma Frost take center stage in the first issue of the relaunch, with future issues spotlighting different X-Men while Hickman pairs with the industry’s top artists.
Giant-Size X-Men: Magneto #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Ben Oliver goes on sale in March from Marvel Comics.
