History ComicBook / ResurrectionOfMagneto

** Firstly, Storm enters the Waiting Room on a splash page, and sees in the distance seven objects floating in a sea of clouds above seven pillars: a tower with a crown, a woman in purple, a snake inside a wheel (top row), a three-faced representation of the Living Tribunal, a green crystal, a golden skull with a wreath and a ball with a demonic figure reflected on it (bottom row). This imagery is evocative of the Minor Arcana card "Seven of Cups".
** Ashake, Storm's Egyptian ancestor, shows her a card of the Minor Arcana: the five of swords. In another scene, she summons a lightning to strike down the place where Ororo was standing on, in a clear reference to the Tower card of the Major Arcana, which shows a lightning striking a tower.
** In another scene, Ororo meets the Phalanx Dominion. The panel of her falling down and being detected by the Phalanx is reminiscent of the "Eight of Pentacles" card: six discs on the right side of the image, a seventh one in the bottom left corner.
** In the same, she asks them about Magneto. The Phalanx mentions his soul passed by them, and the accompanying panel shows Magneto in a position akin to the Hanged Man card of the Major Arcana.
** The [[spoiler:last page with Ororo]] mirrors [[spoiler:the first page with Magneto downcast and five helmets nearby, three fallen and next to blood, with two helmets standing.]] This is a visual nod to the "Five of Cups" card of the Minor Arcana.

* ColorCodedForYourConvinience: In issue #4, Magneto uses his spare helmets as representatives of which moral alignment he should go with; black for the Magneto of old, all fire and vengeance, white for Charles's idealism, or red. He ultimately goes with red.

** The Shadow King suggests that a number of powerful evil beings such as itself, Annihilation, the First Fallen, the Goblin Force (from ''ComicBook/MutantX''), the Adversary and Le Bete Noir (from ''Bishop & Cable'') are aspects of a greater evil force, but never clearly says either way.

* ArcWelding: Issue #1 makes explicit that [[spoiler:Enigma, the Dominion created from a brain uploading of the original Nathaniel Essex,]] is indeed the threat the Beyonders warned the Defenders about back in ''ComicBook/DefendersBeyond''.

* HijackedByGanon: Subverted. Issue 3 has Shadow King initially suggest he might've been Annihilation, as well as the First Fallen, the Goblin Force (from ''Mutant X''), the Adversary and Le Bete Noir (from ''Bishop & Cable''), but later on admits this isn't true.

** Among the deaths Magneto holds himself responsible for are Basilisk (killed by "Xorneto" in ''New X-Men''), Sharon Friedlander (killed by Frenzy), and Cypher (stray bullet).

** Issue #3 [[spoiler:shows The First Fallen among the "faces of evil" (Adversary, Shadow King and Annihilation) - a Clameront's creation from his 2004-2006 run in 'Uncanny X-Men''. While fighting it, Storm mentions that Nightcrawler told her about it, since Storm was off in her own subplot during those events.]]

** [[spoiler:Magneto uses the strange key the sea creature gifted him in ''Giant Size X-Men: Magneto'', back then in ''Dawn of X''.]]

* SelfIinflictedHell: This is what Max finds himself in. It turns out that he is tortured by his guilt over the lives he's negatively influenced, directly or indirectly. He gets out of it when Storm shows him all of the lives he's made better with his actions.

** Storm flashes back through a montage of her interactions with Erik over the years, from ''X-Men'' #160, to ''Red'' issue #1.

* PsychicDreamsForEveryone: What kicks off the plot. Storm has visions of Erik standing before a nightmarish plane, surrounded by several versions of his helmet, lamenting that he was wrong.

* YankTheDogsChain: Back in ''Judgment Day'', Magneto died thinking he was going into the light with his long-dead daughter Anya, and that they'd be happily reunited in the afterlife. The first thing this issue shows is that this is not ''remotely'' what's happened to Erik.

** In another scene, Ororo meets the Phalanx Dominion and asks them about Magneto. The Phalanx mentions his soul passed by them, and the accompanying panel shows Magneto in a position akin to the Hanged Man card of the Major Arcana.
