Broken Frontier

Brian K.Vaughan is closing out his run on Ultimate X-Men in grand style with the conclusion of “Magnetic North” in Ultimate X-Men #65. 

Jam-packed with mutant action, the X-Men find themselves in the middle of a battle that they cannot possibly hope to win against Emma Frost’s students, the Ultimates, and their greatest nemesis ever, Magneto. 

And not only does Ultimate X-Men deliver the earth-shattering conclusion to “Magnetic North,” but it features Part 2 of the Ultimate Vision back-up story running through the Ultimate line.  And Ultimate X-Men #65 features a second cover of Ultimate Vision by upcoming Ultimate Extinction artist Brandon Peterson.

The conclusion of “Magnetic North” ends on a huge note as Vaughan cements his legacy on Ultimate X-Men.  And nothing gets bigger in the Ultimate Universe than a throw-down between the X-Men and Magneto inside the Ultimates’s headquarters, the Triskelion.

In a series of events orchestrated by Magneto from his own jail cell, “Magnetic North” has already seen Lorna Dane murder an innocent crowd, her resulting incarceration, and brother fighting brother as Cyclops tries to stop Havok from freeing Lorna. 

Will “Magnetic North” end in with a betrayal, death, an escape, or all of the above?  Only Vaughan knows for sure.  The rest of us will have to check out the stunning conclusion in Ultimate X-Men #65 in order to find out.
