Hmm. Well, to be honest, I only started reading this title because I liked the trade "Original Sin," and the only reason I'm continuing to read the title is because I know one of my favorite characters, Magneto, eventually plays a big role in the title. So now I'm stuck slogging through the first few trades, hoping for a good Mags payoff in the end.

This trade was okay. It was mostly focused on Rogue and getting her back into the X-Men stories, I suppose. As I'm not a big Rogue fan, that doesn't do much for me. The story itself is okay and flows relatively well, but it just doesn't have much pizazz to it. ( )

OK, so I don't know exactly where Legacy is going these days. It only seems to be around as a series to revise and sort out all the side stories that have been dangling around in the X-universe for years. Sorting out Professor X. Mr. Sinister. Wolverine and Daken. Now Rogue and Danger. Don't get me wrong, it's good that these plots are finally being dealt with, but it just seems like they are rushing through all of them right now so that they can finally start integrating Legacy back into the mainstream stories. Which is fine. It looks like Legacy will be involved with the Utopia crossover, which is good, since it will seem like the series actually has some direction again. ( )
