Helping setting up Marvel Comics' Fall Avengers/X-Men crossover Axis (which I will likely be giving a very wide berth), Magneto's search leads him to be captured by the Red Skull who, imbued with a part of Charles Xavier's mental gifts, uses his mind to turn Magneto's own past against him.
Taking place mostly inside Magneto's mind, Magneto #10 focuses on Magneto attempting to keep his sanity and stop the Red Skull from breaking him (which would happened if not for the timely arrival of the Scarlet Witch, Rogue, and Quicksilver). As to the now mutant-powered Red Skull... meh.
For a comic that has gone out of its way to keep its lead character off the grid throwing him into the middle of a crossover this big is more than a little jarring. That said, the tease at the end of the issue involving Magneto's rash decision allows readers who stick around to see what an amped-up version of his former self might accomplish. For fans.
