Publication history

The series was first announced in September 2024. It is written by Tim Seeley and features art by Zulema Lavina. Seeley described the writing as "a dream job, and probably the absolute perfect Marvel gig". [1] The fact that the series would feature the controversial Rogue and Magneto romance like the recent X-Men '97 animated series sparked some discussion, though Seeley commented on his social media that the comic would not tie into the show in any way, [2] and that the romance would not be a major focus. [3] The covers drawn by Kaare Andrews tries to resemble Jim Lee's X-Men art and feature corner boxes with mini cut-outs of the fces of characters appearing in the issue, as was customary of Marvel Comics during the original Claremont and Lee publications. [4]

Plot

The series serves as a intraquel to Chris Claremont's 1990s storyline of Uncanny X-Men #274-275 set in the Savage Land where the superhero Rogue and antagonist Magneto had a brief romance. [1] [2]

Reception

Upon the series announcement ComicBook.com's Jamie Lovett stated that he believed that it was likely created due to the interest around the Magneto-Rogue relationship stired up by X-Men '97. He also noted that it's an instalment of a long line of recent Marvel series that revisit nostalgic periods of the company's history. [5]

The series has a 8.5 rating on the comic book review aggregator website Comic Book Roundup. [6]

Joshua Kazemi in his review of the first issue for Comic Book Resources described it as great but with flaws. [7]
