From writer Leah Williams (X-Factor) and rising star artist Lucas Werneck (Empyre: X-Men) comes THE TRIAL OF MAGNETO, a new X-Men series launching in August. Spinning out of the stunning events of June’s Hellfire Gala, THE TRIAL OF MAGNETO will deal with the aftermath of a violent death that occurs on mutantkind’s big night.
A horrific murder. A horrifying revelation. A trial that will divide the new mutant nation.
This thrilling saga will threaten the Reign of X and upend the world of mutants. And with the very future of Krakoa hanging in the balance, mutantkind’s relationship with the rest of the Marvel Universe may never be the same. The current team of mutant investigators from Leah Williams’ acclaimed run on X-Factor will play a vital role in solving this complex mystery, and fans should pick up X-Factor #10, a Hellfire Gala tie-in and the final issue of the series, on June 30th to discover whose tragic fall leads into this new X-Men epic.
“When has Magneto ever allowed bureaucracy to get between himself and what’s just? In the island paradise of Krakoa, safe haven and home for mutants--Magneto’s hard-fought, greatest desire of seeing his people at peace and thriving has finally been achieved. But Magneto’s loyalty extends only as far as it is first earned, so after the Hellfire Gala, when he learns that even a paradise could still be filled with lies...the TRIAL OF MAGNETO will begin,” Williams teased.
"I am so looking forward to working with Leah, especially with this project,” Werneck said. “Leah has incredible sensitivity in her writing and is able to craft stories that are layered and mysterious and fun for readers so I think she is perfect to write this story. Participating in the Hellfire Gala and now being invited to be part of this project is really a dream."
The truth is hidden, the danger is far from over, and the trial has begun. Be there for the story that will shake Krakoa to its core when THE TRIAL OF MAGNETO #1 hits stands on August 18th! In the meantime, check out the classified cover by Valerio Schiti below and stay tuned for the final version which will reveal the character who meets their untimely end at the Hellfire Gala.

I just want it to be a clone to negate the bad writing she has gotten since the Hickman era.

I assumed it was mystique because of her grudge with the council
He could easily have found a way of masking his scent after all for the Mystique theory to work, she would have to mask her scent as well.
Exodus probably wouldn't be thinking it would backfire, or wasn't thinking, he had an opportunity to kill the Pretender and he took it.

Totally with you. It annoys me that some people that want hem to be related have this idealised version of the Magnus Family when it is the complete opposite. It also annoys me that Wanda takes everything at face value, instead of getting a DNA test

Also given the solicts mention something wrong with the body and Wanda's poorly written antics in the likes of X-Men:Empyre, I hoping the Wanda that dies is a clone.

Also hope Wanda punches Exodus in the face for all the pretender crap. Also if Billy does become a mutant, Id assume Krakoa and the Kree/Skrull Alliance are going to become allies, Krakoa really gonna become a force to reckon with
Wiccan and Speed could already be mutants. Given the vagueness of their origins. Also as already shown the Kree/Skrull alliance aren't keen on Krakoa due to their treatment of Wanda, Billy being a mutant isn't going to change that.

Luna is an inhuman. already gone through the Terrigen mist that allows her to see the emotions of people, which she used to learn her father was lying in one comic.
