Sauron vs the new X-men
Quote: Jubilee: "Nuh-uh! I aint nobody's snack food Rodan!"
Synopsis:
Rouge flees from her friends after they accused her of draining wolvie, unbeknownst to her however her friends battle with Sauron. The monster quickly downs the team and prepares to feast.
Light years away Bishop realizes Deathbird has captured him as none of her stories add up, before they can argue further they are attacked by a large ship (like the death star from star wars) and they are pulled in by the nearest sun!
When Rogue reaches the mansion she finds and unconscious and non breathing Joseph and is forced to give him mouth-to-mouth. This is observed by the young mutant Marrow who assumes Rogue is the cause of Joseph’s seizure, she even tells Rogue her secret is safe with her as they are both the same at heart (nice allusion to them both being former villains). Rogue then runs away again.
At the pond Jubilee puts up a good fight but Sauron still defeats her. While in Canada Jean shocks (and frightens) Scott by wearing the green Phoenix costume (I would b petty freaked too if my wife wore the costume I saw her die in!) Back at the pond Wolvie regains consciousness just in the nick of time to distract Sauron while jubilee puts him down. The team recovers and wolvie wonders where rogue is and says he’s hand Sauron to S.H.I.E.L.D. personally.
Rogue has decided to confront her inner demons, so she leaves the school to visit the Agee Institute to attempt to rid herself of her powers. In a flashback we see she did actually drain wolverine (naughty girl, perhaps marrow was right).
The Good!
Decent art compliments a competent fight and the team continues to have great chemistry.
