Unless it's an extremely recent development, Magneto's dead in the Morrison New X-Men series and has been since his first issue. Personally, I think it's not-just-brilliant-but-fucking-brilliant, but I'm not a regular X-Men/Marvel reader.
Heh.
Yeah... That went well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Then it must be another title. Magneto's alive, has Professor X in a tank of fluid, he's on some drug that lets him control crowds, he has a posse of really dumb evil mutants, Genoshasomethingsomething, and Wolverine is hurtling through space on a chunk of city with Jean and they're running out of oxygen, and he takes her outside after she passes out.

It's the Morrison New X-Men hayden. He's been back for a couple of issues now.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Nope. It's New X-Men, which is the only one I read regularly. And I think we just spoiled Hayden.

Whoops. That happened months ago, though. Because I've read two or three, and Magneto's wasn't dead in any of them.

Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.
So I suppose that telling hayden that Xorn was Magneto would be a bad thing.

Well, ok, that makes sense.

Well, I was trying to avoid mentioning that, since he mentioned he was reading the trades rather than the monthly issues, but I guess that is no longer a worry...

Well, since we're on the subject, There really was no way that Magneto was dead. Even Grant Morrison's not going to kill a character like that off-camera. What I've liked about the run is that Magneto's been a looming presence in the book from the get-go. I also like that--in the tradition of the Buffy season arcs, Magneto seems to be turning out to be the little bad, and Phoenix may well turn out to be the Big Bad.
