'X-Men Legacy #226: UTOPIA' Reviewed!

I loved this comic. My favorite parts were the confrontation between Rouge and Mrs. Marvel. (Moonstone) and Rouge trying to take Ares' powers. It just looked great. Also, I love Rouge and Gambit together. Gambit is, and always has been, my favorite X-Men.

and lame. I wrote this before you were like, "Rouge had the best scenes". Dang. ha. Great review.

good review yes gambit is in it  and a ms. marvel vs rougue thats awesome to

The fight with Rogue was lame to the max. Karla is invulnerable so falling glass would have done all of no harm to her, but she phases instead, which is fine, but then she just watches Rogue get away? As though Karla can't Phase and run/fly at the same time? Lame. I understand that maybe Karla isn't the person that Carey wants to write on a regular basis, but her being bested by Rogue, not believable. Other than that, i kind of enjoyed the book, it was nice seeing Ariel's return, but after that it felt like it was stuck. But i am excited for the next isssue as i'm hoping Ariel has a bigger role, along with Trance.

Frist of all I didn't even know that Legacy is part of utopia story line.
I want to get it know to see Rouge beat Ms. Marvel (not very caring for her)

I actually liked the Rogue/Ms. Marvel fight. It shows Rogue is more then just a powerhouse, she's also a tactical thinking leader. But my favorite part was at the end, Gambit vs Ares (with a little help ;P). Marvel's Ares is a f'n joke. He's such a waste of a character which made it all the more better to see him get his ass handed to him by the Cajun Ladies Man. God of War my ass lol

It does come as a pretty good comic. Can't really blame Cyclops for being upset with the lot of them. Rogue pretty much just walked off after she revived without a single word. Considering everything that happened. Gambit also put Sam, Cannonball, in traction during the later quarter of Blinded by the Light.
What I found rather interesting, but I doubt no one noticed. In the first few pages it shows only two of the three Cuckoos on that rooftop seen. Where is the third? You always see them together.

The third was captured wasnt she?

I really liked this issue ^^

i cannot believe i did not find this while at the comic store today this is such a dummer

and i love just loved your review babs but who is that guy standing next to ariel?

Gambit? or Onyx?

Onyx

They should become an official team. You know xavier, gambit, rouge and danger.
Also they should put jubilee in there...

I really liked this mag ALOT! The action , the storie and the cought by a Transformer! TBH I am not into x-men comics and I just started reading legacy since the begining of last arc. And from there on I have really enjoyed Carey's run.

Yeaarghh Captain Morgan! I Luv captain Morgan..
TaLKIN ABout pirates Deadpool is gonna be a pirate next month xD!

BTW about gambit and rouge... I think they should get married. That doesnt mean that they have to be together all times but at least we wont be having the breaking up and sticking back together again, again and again... Marriage is the only way to end the madness!!!

Good review, but did she explain why she only gave it a 4 out of 5? I might've missed it but I didn't hear any criticisms on why it came 1 star short of perfect. 

much better art! I was so happy with this over the lasy UXM issue. 

Babs: Ya said it... This issue was AMAZING!
Rogue + Gambit: In the last few issues I was gettin tired of them... But seein how things turned out in this issue Im happy their together still...
Danger: Haha "Transfomer" haha Brillant...
My Girl Rogue: Well all I can say is YeE HaWw! She's Back! Mean lately this past year she been what, Almost dying, coma and well in the middle of nowhere... This was a great issue... Just cuz of the action in here, Man I read it 3 times...
Mike Carey: Right now I could kiss ya man... Loved it... A breath of fresh air dude...
Dustin Weaver: Great Work! Originality shows and keep Rogue just the way she is....
Overall 4 out of 5 Stars here... :D

" The third was captured wasnt she? "

Excellent breakdown. Keep hitting it out of the park, Babs.

Great review.  If the old relationship of Gambit and Rogue can be recaptured, that would be great.  We'll see what Carey can do.

It's just another x-men side thing that keeps going and going and going.  I could care less who is with who.

great review babs ---- these vids keep getting better and better :)

You guys are funky dancers ;)

"Personally, I don't care for Rogue & Gambit anymore.  Either have them together, or break them up.  They've had 20 years of 'waiting', so just get on with it!"

Liked the issue, hated the Romy.

All I know is The 'Clops rolled up in a jetpack (in the newest Utopia) and my respect for him returned immediately.

If that makes me shallow then who isnt!?

The jetpack reminded me of NextWave.  But I can't believe that Matt Fraction gets paid for 'I come in peace. Take me to your leader'.

"But my favorite part was at the end, Gambit vs Ares (with a little help ;P). Marvel's Ares is a f'n joke. He's such a waste of a character which made it all the more better to see him get his ass handed to him by the Cajun Ladies Man. God of War my ass lol  "

Utopia is back on track!!

See, that made me laugh, all the more reason for you to apply!

Mebba... but I doubt that NextWave: NeXt-Babies would be as popular ;)

I'm seeing a lot of criticism over the scene with Rogue and Ms. Marvel. Rogue didn't "Beat her," she "outsmarted her," which in my opinion is completely believable. Nobody's perfect, and let's face it, Karla has her blond moments once in a while ;)

And Babs, I love you for picking up on Ariel's schemes.  Oh yeah, she's definitely up to something!!  She's been willing to sell her friends out before, but this time...?  I loved seeing her again after so long.  That was fantastic.  But if Cyclops didn't send her, then why was she with Onyx?  Confusing confusing... Curiouser & curioser...!!

They're coming after her?

Nice review (:
Glad to see your feeling better.

and Lol at the guys,
Geeze :P your soo lucky.
