[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great "bottle episode" of The Uncanny X-Men, written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by John Romita Jr. and Dan Green. The story focuses on Rogue, as she rescues Michael Rossi from the SHIELD Helicarrier. It is a good mix of action and character growth as Rogue comes to terms with the enormity of what she did to Carol Danvers, aka Ms. Marvel.

[Mikey The Librarian · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s interesting to see the destructive powers of rogue on her own mental stability. I’m not sure any other issue will show you the intense emotional strain having someone else’s emotions and memories can have on someone else’s brain. Not much action but a psychological thriller.

love love

This takes place after secret wars this was were we really Lear about what Rouge goes through with her powers and we also get to see her love of flying starts here. Rouge is hands down one of the most amazing heroes hands down

this issue is all about Rogue as she falls deeper into Carol Danvers’ memories…

[Britt Halliburton · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great story that focuses on Rogue, who still is comparatively new to the roster and still in that phase where we aren’t sure if we trust her. Then, she unravels and we get the split personalities, and the devastation on Rossi as Rogue explains how she took the emotions of Carol Danvers away from her - literally being the reason they aren’t together.
