What happens when a mutant king achieves all his deepest desires? What happens when a warrior has no more war to fight? This August, return to the hallowed halls of the House of Magnus as writer Dennis Hopeless (Spider-Woman, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad) and artist Kris Anka (Uncanny X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy & X-Men: The Black Vortex) bring you HOUSE OF M #1 – a new Secret Wars series!
The House of Magnus controls all – ruling Battleworld’s Monarchy of M with an iron-fist. His children and grandchildren live as royals, complete with the privileges and pit-falls of their station. The great war with humanity has been won, the future of his race assured. Yet the question remains – what happens to a conqueror when there is no one left to conquer?
“I think if asked our Magneto would tell you he’s living the dream,” says writer Dennis Hopeless in an interview with Marvel.com. “Mutants run the world and he’s their all-powerful king. Sitting alone with his thoughts in a big boring throne room, the man might let himself admit the truth. Magneto is a warrior. He was born to rage against the machine. However happy he may be with the result, Magneto misses the war.”
He may have his chance to war once again. Behind closed doors, both Quicksilver and Namor conspire over the kingdom’s future. Is the heir-apparent to the House of M a traitor!? The answer to that question and more will be answered as Hopeless and Anka bring you HOUSE OF M #1 this August!

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
