Well ............. What did you think of CM?
I'm gonna leave it a couple of days to spill, as not to spoil
I will say though,
Great, Gorgeous, Fun and so on and so forth art by Carmen Carnero and Tamra Bonvillian, and loved the designs for the characters - Powers of X take notes
Can't wait to read Captain Marvel#10
KRAKOA MUST FALL
I felt so bad for Carol and Rogue. I hope there isn't lasting harm to them from this.
spoilers:end of spoilers
I think Rogue would probably not be able to handle having Carol in her head permanently again, especially knowing some villain forced them into this situation. Hopefully Rogue can reverse the transfer. At least Rogue was able to free herself by switching into Carol mode to beat the mind control device. I just felt so bad for Rogue, they really portrayed that she was breaking down emotionally because she was being forced to do this to Carol.
Rogue twice kicked Carol's butt in this book with or without mind control I'm confused with that.
Carol had to resort to going to unirinos, because she knew how to defeat Rogue, much less kill her, and with the powers of WM is far superior to Carol, now she adds her absorption powers (which have always been more powerful than anything have carol) and also the new ability to drain away.
If Carol did not join with Rogue CAROL FINISHED DEAD.
But it was fun to see Rogue mopping the floor with carol in the two fights that XD had.
Hello Sandman813
What's your take/preference on Rogues new(ish) powerset?
I can see some positives and negatives so am a bit confused/apathetic/meh/excited/eager, so probably mostly confused
I'd be interested to know what you're thinking, as a longtime Rogue fan
I think Kelly Thompson would prefer to leave things between these two on a higher note than too leave any lasting damage between the two. The CM book is a new venture for her so I'd think Kelly wouldn't want to linger too much on any negatives. I found the Rogue vs Carol pages to be exciting/captivating/dare I say 'emotional' .....pfft.....I ain't a girl *muttley laugh*
I need to re-read and maybe post highlights in this thread soon
Your thoughts in the romy thread were on point, iirc
I'm itchin' to have Rogue react to Rachels predicament. Ahab gave Rogue a bit of a beating when they fought just before AXIS, and Rachel will always hold a special place in my affections as she was the ONLY character to acknowledge Rogue during those bleak/frustrating/somber months that Rogue was killed in Uncanny Avengers. I'm hopin' Rogue returns the concern for Rachels whereabouts, she dam well will in my head canon.
Gracias for your posts Juan678, you get goodies from all over the web and contribute some wonderful art and articles to many threads, Cheers bub!
The Cody pages from this article got me
I don't give that storyline the consideration it deserves as part of Rogues history
I really loved this Rogue costume (age of X), I wouldn't mind seeing it came back, what did you guys think about it? what's your favorite?

Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
Hell yeah!
It was a great look that gave Reaper/Legacy a lot of intrigue. I loved pretty much all of Clay Manns designs in Age of X.
Magma, Gambit, Cyclops, Rachel, Dust, Pixie, Domino, Sunspot, Moonstar, Legion, Northstar, Vertigo, Tempo, Karma, Frenzy, Hellion, Wolverine, Storm, Warpath, and Psylocke, all great looks and especially Dazzler
Even the less drastic changes like Magneto, Colossus, Cypher, Jubilee, Namor, Chamber and Unuscone were creative and great looks.
The only downside to Age of X, was that it became confined to Legions head! If he survives the AOXM event maybe AOX could get a sequel some day, *fingers crossed*
I'm usually kinda mutable on Rogues look, as long as it is interesting, which lets face it, I mean attractive, I'm good. The artist drawing it has the ability to draw any outfit in a appealing way.
Some pics to pick from

This UA look made me sit up and take notice, at the time it was teased, I may or may not of squealed in delight! It has been de-sexyfied since though, bah killjoys

I liked the AoX look but don’t know if she’d want to go back to it, because it was from a ‘fake’ life.
Jelly Thompson’s explanation for this was, that since she only ever spoke French once and it was after absorbing North Star. So the French was just what she remembered from absorbing him and it faded afterwards. Which makes sense.
Uh-huh absolutely, my neck is beginning to hurt from my fervent nods of agreement
Ah, that does makes sense, Thanks
I'd like some confirmation on Rogues part that not all info and thoughts fade, at some point.
If she consciously contemplates things while with the absorbed psyche, those thoughts should/could be remembered at some point, obviously not everything, I'd go stark raving bonkers if I would remember all thoughts ever had, but once in a while a memory of a process, idea, technique or subject comes back. Rogue is kinda like a bookworm that hasn't needed to read extensively on varying subjects, her absorptions have done that! That's true of the psychic characters too, well the ones that are interested in knowledge, I suppose
double post
