Prior to watching the X-Men film trilogy some years ago, I was unfamiliar with the character of Rogue. Still, I was impressed with her character; in fact, I used to have a thing for Anna Paquin, who played her.

While this comic focusing on her was fun, I've read much better over the years; I kind of prefer the Classic X-Men issues to this. Still, for a discount buy at 2nd & Charles, you can do much worse.

Only recommended for Rogue fans with a background in comics as this alludes to several past series without any backstory.

This issue showcases:
1) Rogue's disastrous first kiss with Cody (also in XMen:TAS and the Fox movies)
2) Rogue's and Gambit's doomed future (strictly for Romy fans)
3) Gambit's and Belladonna's tumultuous past (will read the Gambit series for more on this)
4) Storm's and Gambit's friendship (will read the Gambit series for more on this)

I still plan to complete the series despite the lackluster beginning.

I've never been a big X-Men fan, but this issue was awesome. I don't doubt the rest of the mini-series will be as well.

This is a very deserving "Rogue #1." We get to see a story about her past, as she rushed to the south and fights against her flooding emotions regarding Cody and Gambit. It seems like a story about moving on, and I think the rest of the issues are gonna prove me right. And a Cajun group of X-Men villains called "Gris Gris," "Bella Donna," "Questa," and "Fifolet" is so perfectly fitting. I'm already a fan.

90s comics at their finest.

Lots and lots of southern drawls in this one, that’s for sure.
