Clinking my glass in agreement with all of this. Yes, book space is finite… yes, things will always be cut… yes, with a universe and cast as large as this, not everything can be satisfactorily tied up to match past character beats or continuity… but it’s been almost five years now of the current status quo, and yet there are other countless characters always springing up in almost every single book, regardless of their relationship to the plot. Because it’s not about what makes the most sense or best serves the plot, it’s about simple personal preference of current editorial (and to a lesser extent, some writers). Which one could argue is always going to be the case, but it’s never been so glaring as here. If they’d ended things when Hickman wanted to, that excuse may still have worked. But there’s no reason or excuse for keeping Rogue and Mystique apart at this stage other than deliberate sidelining.
I’m grateful that at least Marvel forced the X-Office to give us this mini. But I’m still side-eyeing how the other minis debuting in March after this one all had their promo weeks earlier… while this was dropped the day after preorders for #1 ended. Starting to think Rogue and Gambit stuffed someone from that office in their middle school locker or something lol.

Some preview art from Rogue and Gambit #3 via stephanie Philips’ twitter.
Those two are so freaking sexy. Kinda makes feel someone a lil bi.
These are the hotest x men marriage. Scott and Jean are a old couple.
But these two are young are hotter than everything.
Also so suportive of each other and all that stuff. Hope Marvel dont "one more day them" or "New X men them" or "Hawkeye and Mockingbird them"
Art is gorgeous. Excited for this mini. Wonderful cast of characters
SINGULAR QUIBBLE: The hair. The hair reads stiff, like, DragonballZ cosplay wigs.
Very excited about this series! I feel like Rogue hasn't interacted much with Destiny since she returned. It's also been a while since she and Gambit teamed up to fight ninjas together. For them, that counts as a productive date night.
