As excited as I was to get a story to fill in the blanks here, I think my expectations weren't as sky-high for this series before its release; but after reading the first issue I'm absolutely hooked. Tim Seeley's Rogue is so genuine and such a refreshing read on her character right now, and Lavina & Rosenberg's art and colors are FANTASTIC--Rogue isn't just drawn for cheesecake (though when she is, it's still great!) and her expressions really shine through and draw you to her emotions rather than state of dress. I can't overstate how much I love her characterization in this issue, this Rogue is vulnerable and spunky and raw, and I'm looking forward to how this run fills in the blanks of this story, and the foundation of her relationship with Magneto. So far, I can't recommend this series enough to people, and I have a feeling the rest of the issues will live up to the hype I'm getting from this one.
