The Scarlet Witch was found dead in X-Factor #10, and Magneto is the prime suspect as witnessed in the appropriately named X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1. While mutantkind is looking for answers, Wanda's teammates (and former husband) in the Avengers have landed on Krakoa demanding answers in September 15's X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #2.

While that goes on, Professor X is secretly probing Magneto's mind in an attempt to extract a confession out of the prime suspect - even if his assistant, Hope Summers, disagrees with his tactics.

Check out this preview of X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #2 by writer Leah Williams and artist Lucas Werneck:

Cyclops broke the news of Wanda's murder to Vision and several key Avengers in X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1, which understandably led to the android to break down. In this preview of X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #2, Vision is one of four Avengers - joining Captain America, Iron Man, and the Wasp - coming for answers.

Newsarama has been looking for answers as well, running down the murder suspects of Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff.

The main cover to X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #2 is drawn by Valerio Schiti, with variant covers by Gerald Parel, Stephanie Hans, Ian Shavrin, and David Baldeon. Check them out here:
