X-Men: Legacy #222 - Marvel


We didn't learn very much this issue. We already know that Danger has come to the Outback in search of Rogue. We already know that Rogue is having trouble dealing with all of the various personalities that she has stacked in her head. At the end of the last issue, the Professor and Gambit came across the Shi'ar scavenger hunters. What we do learn this issue, is that basically they're the reason that Danger seems to be operating out of control. When they first came across her they hit her with some flow-inhibitors. They didn't take her out, but . . they seem to have affected her operations. They think they took out some of her higher functions, and now her operations have gone back to it's core programming. We also learn that the boy that keeps popping up throughout the scenarios, seems to be Cody Robbins. He's the kid that Rogue hurt by accident when her powers first manifested. For some reason, the scenarios seem to be leading Rogue to him. Meanwhile the Professor, and gang, have gone in search of Danger. They find her curled up in one of the Mansion scenarios. She's curled up in the corner of the Danger Room. "Some creatures come back to where they were spawned to breed. And some to die." I'm enjoying this story, but . . I'm not exactly sure what the point of this issue was. Like I said, we didn't learn much. I like Mike Carey's scripts. I just wish the pace was a little faster. Meanwhile, Scot Eaton's pencils were great. Plus check out that great cover by Lee Bermejo. I love the X-Men, and I love this book. However, I wasn't thrilled with this issue.
