Robert Rodi's "Rogue: Going Rogue", Daniel Way's "Sabretooth: Open Season"

A limited series of limited success, Robert Rodi's revelations about the past of one of the most popular X-Men takes Rogue back home to her Mississippi town, where she confronts an aunt, learns about her hippie mom's LSD outings to "The Far Banks" and reveals her name is Anna Marie. It's not as great a name as "Cosmo" but it's a good thing to know.


"Sabretooth"'s own 2004 solo series, "Open Season", written by Daniel Way, is a straightforward claws-out beatdown that involves Sasquatch and Wendigo and, despite effectively communicating some of the same polar dread as Dan Simmons' "The Terror", is best experienced by younger, carnage-loving readers.
