Rogue Battles Alien Entities & Worlds in Gage's "X-Men: Legacy"

[Washout]

I'm pretty excited for this new arc. It's not very often we get to see real legitimate solo adventures of X-characters who aren't Wolverine or related to Wolverine.

Rogue has realized that she's on the wrong side, that Magik is crossing lines, and doesn't seem to realize it's wrong.

Has Rogue not met Magik before?

[SoupStainedTie]

Ugh. Might pass on on 271-273 and just pick up the last 2 issues.

[darknessatnoon]

This is going to be glorious, whiners.

[coconutphone]

Ugh. Might pass on on 271-273 and just pick up the last 2 issues.

Me too. I don't much care for alien stuff in comics for some reason. This sounds very miss-able.

[BigDtown]

Ugh. Might pass on on 271-273 and just pick up the last 2 issues.

Ditto, this alien thing is totally random and out of the way and I have Rogue fatigue.

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

lol, they can't even be bothered to pretend there's a point to the book anymore. Talk about random.

Deathbird cameo.

Don't forget Rogue is there too. Also, is that her kid, or the guy that raped her?


Is it weird that I was gutted at seeing Rogue use her powers on Ms. Marvel. The last time she did that, she mind wiped her, and threw her off the Golden Gate bridge (nice touch, being that it's a 'popular' suicide site)...then she acknowledges it was a low point in her life, and then 2 pages later, does the very same thing? It also seemed that that action would be the most terrifying move you could do to Ms. Marvel.

I love Rogue because she's a former criminal, done right, but despite that, people will forgive but always remember and I liked that she kept working to do good despite that. The old X-men creed. But her cheap shot against Ms. Marvel makes me reconsider what Rogue is thinking.

[BizzleTheBear]

Does anyone else find it odd that in Uncanny X-men 269 Rogue was fighting with Ms. Marvel and in Uncanny X-men 274 she was shagging it up with Magneto and now in X-men Legacy 269 and 274 the exact (but kind of different) thing is going on? No offense to Mr Gage but really?

[f4faith]

Ugh. Might pass on on 271-273 and just pick up the last 2 issues.

I'm thinking just the opposite. A good Rogue adventure where she has to rely on herself instead of her team's powers to save her sounds fun for a change.

However, I'm clueless as to where Magneto is trying to atone for anything so to use that to explain something that's never been developed well on panel is just a turn off. Nor is being in two Brotherhoods that were totally different from one another. It's just going to be some oh, we just are not on the same page. Not anything really satisfying or Rogue having any right to expect Magneto to actually explain his past actions against her or be apologetic for her so it explains why she ever even considered a relationship. She doesn't judge him. But that's the point. WHY NOT? If she has no feelings on what happened in past issues when he's used her because he was against the X-Men then she's appathetic not passionate. Everything about them has been devoid of any real honest emotion. It's the same old problem that made many hate it in the first place. It's cop out.

Just get it over with then and I'll see where she is in the last issue.

[RoguefanAM]

I'm excited about the alien adventure! Like Washout said, it's rare we get solo adventures for anyone besides Wolverine. It helps that unlike everyone else, I'm not suffering from 'Rogue fatigue' (go figure, she's my favorite character). Still sad that we didn't get any real team moments. Husk and Chamber really got the sort end of the stick, but I guess that's been the case for most of the decade.

Oh, and that cover with Rogue on that tiger is pretty.

[Pixie_Solanas]

Shit, I just noticed that this "Deathbird" has chicken feet. Utter failure.

[santino27]

I thought it would be ending but with so many characters getting multiple books, maybe Rogue will have some too. I'd like to see her teamed with Ms. Marvel on a regular basis, toss in Jessica Drew Spider-Woman, maybe Firestar and Shulkie, my five favorite femmes of the Marvel U. Oh give me Dani Moonstar too.

Man, I would buy that in a heartbeat. And then buy it again. (I'd replace Jessica Drew with old-school Julia Carpenter before they took away the greatest SW costume ever and made her into Madame Web, but that's a minor quibble).

Throw Valkyrie in there too, so Jen has someone to drink heavily with.

[santino27]

I've really liked Gage's short Legacy run so far. Just wish the interior art had matched the glorious Mark Brooks covers... I think Baldeon's cartoony exaggerated faces have really detracted from the storytelling Gage has been trying to do.

[Pixie_Solanas]

This was just before Rogue's flat head clamped down on Ms Marvel's hamhock like a tenacious barnacle looking for purchase.
