X-Men: Magneto Testament

Man, I wanted to like this so bad but it honestly just pales in comparison to the Magneto backstory seen in the X-Men First Class movie. (I know, this was originally published before XMFC but I didn't read it until now.) Or even to the like, 2 minutes of Magneto backstory in the first X-Men movie.

I did think the author's notes and classroom guide at the end were interesting, and it's obvious that Greg Pak cared a lot about presenting an accurate Holocaust narrative. I guess that's it, though–this felt like any other Holocaust narrative and it didn't really matter that it was about Magneto? Also the art was so... vague that a lot of the time I was sort of confused about which dude even was Max/Magneto.

Oh, you know what, I originally rated this 2 stars because I do feel pretty “meh” about it overall but I think I'm bumping it up to 3 stars because the end matter somewhat randomly includes a comic about Dina Babbitt, who I had not heard of before and whose story is very compelling. I would like to read a whole book about Dina Babbitt, please.
