Last issue, Magneto made Rogue a daunting offer. In this FINAL ISSUE of X-MEN: LEGACY, Rogue faces the repercussions of her decision!
If you love Rogue and you want to really see her in action, this is definitely the book for you. Like I said above, not only does she kick all kinds of butt in this issue; but she is also portrayed as a character that has her stuff together. She's grown up a lot, and she demonstrates that she is able to be a great leader both on and off the battlefield. Great characterization of Rogue in this issue and an awesome team-up between Rogue and Mimic make this a solid issue. Pair this great story with some beautiful art, and you have a winning book.

Overall, this was a mediocre wrap up to this series. I actually think the end of #273 was a much better place to end this series, with Rogue coming back from another dimension, discovering further control of her powers. These last two filler stories have been so-so after coming out of a great story arc. I liked the story as it stood on its own, but it didn't conjure any tears out of me like I had hoped it would. X-men Legacy has been my favorite X-men title for a long time running, and this issue just fell a bit flat for me. I'm looking forward to Rogue in further series like Uncanny Avengers, and I can finally get geared up for the Legion story in Legacy #1. Read Full Review
It's sad to see such a storied title end with such a meek effort. The only spot of light to be found here is the positive message in Rogue's speech, and it's only earned after slogging through a nonsensical setup. This book really isn't worth your money unless you're buying it for a younger reader who may just be getting into comics. Read Full Review
In all honesty, it reads like a fill-in, not the ending to one of Marvel's most enduring titles. Perhaps it was never possible to put a satisfying cap on that legacy (no pun intended). Perhaps the creators just weren't interested in doing so. It's nice that it ends on an optimistic note (which is something of a rarity in modern comics) but aside from that, there's little here that makes it stand out as anything special. Read Full Review
Damn you, comics. Damn you all to hell. Read Full Review
