(Icon is for cracky AUs and bizarre adaptation decisions.)

Love the cover, and that it stars Rogue, but--Mystique, please dress your son in something less hobo-chic. I also notice Rogue isn't wearing gloves. Fascinating.

(My head canon is that Rogue actually has some sort of undetected brain damage that keeps her from being able to turn her powers off, similar to Scott. Except it's something more subtle and Charles Xavier missed it somehow.)

I've always wanted to read Age of Apocalypse--except for the fact Apocalypse is in it. I'm not one of his biggest fans. Boring Invincible Villains don't much do it for me when they're the star because the writers don't do what needs to be done to make things interesting, and Apocalypse storylines tend to suffer from this because he's so calm and lethargic and unthreatened by everything most of the time. It's too easy to make him Evil Gary Stu.

(Lots of people compare him to Darkseid, but at least Superman is in DS' weight class and can actually engage him in a contested battle under most circumstances. DS doesn't give me a Gary Stu vibe because he has explorable character flaws, and can be challenged and thwarted like any other villain, just by a very small, select number of top tier heroes. Does that make sense? Am I rambling?)
