Hello! 👋 Could you list some of the best comic books that explore the Rogue/ Magneto relationship?
Hey there!!! 👩‍🚀 Oh gosh! With pleasure! I might be a bit rusty because I haven’t gone through older Marvel comic books in a while and also because I am not up to date with the recent years of X-Men comics BUT there are still a couple of issues that are very dear to me when it comes to Rogue & Magneto, so happy to share:
It all started in the year 1981:
1. Uncanny X-Men #269 ; Uncanny X-Men #274 & Uncanny X-Men #275 (1981, Written by Chris Claremont) [The story is pretty self-contained to these 3 issues and it all starts with Rogue realising that her Ms. Marvel powers are gone and Carol Danvers somehow has her own body now. (a very simplified context of what was going on in that era with the X-Men) I absolutely love Rogue in these issues. She has sass and personality, and she still carries a lot of her energy from the 80s.]
Tumblr media
2. X -Men Volume 2 (Issues #1 - #3) - (1991, Chris Claremont) [They meet again after the events in the Savage Land, now on opposite sides.]
Tumblr media
3. Magneto Rex: Issues #1- #3 - (1999, Joe Pruett) [This miniseries… is a bit weird and needs some context. It’s at a time where Marvel really wanted to have Magneto return to his evil ways and be a villain for the X-Men (regardless if it made sense or not). Not one of my favourites and generally can live without but it’s a ‘next stop’ in their interactions, so adding it to the list.]
4. Then we have X-Men Legacy! ( 2008, Mike Carey) [This one is a chonker, and to make things worse it is connected with other series running at the same time. It has pieces of Rogue and Magneto through the entire run but all in all, the story sees them reunite under the same team in Utopia (starting with Legacy #231). The full run of Legacy can be difficult to follow up on but if you have the time, it’s really worth it. It’s also the first story in YEARS where Rogue is allowed to shine and do her own thing. If you need a more detailed list of what issues are really worth reading, in what order and what is happening in between them let me know and will be happy to write down a breakdown!]
Tumblr media
5. Memorable mentions in the main series: There are quite a few tiny bits about them in the comic books but here’s a list of issues that give more context to how they interact and how they feel about each other:
a. Marvel Fanfare #33 - (1982, Chris Claremont. I love Rogue in this one and it’s such a nice example of what a good and powerful duo they can make. Something that is later explored in Legacy as well. b. Legacy #223 (during Rogue’s journey to control her powers) we have a glimpse of how she remembers and sees Magneto’s presence in her life. c. Magneto #10 (2014, Cullen Bunn) - Similarly, a glimpse into Magneto’s mind on how he remembers Rogue and the impact their connection in the Savage Land had on him. d. Mr & Mrs X #6 (2019) - there is a page between Rogue and Magneto where, in all that mess, at least Magneto’s honest feelings for her and his care for her happiness shine through.
And last but not least, Age of Apocalypse. [This is a completely separate timeline that the comic books liked to visit from time to time. In this universe Rogue and Magneto are pretty much in love and married but… it’s a very tragic universe. Original series started in 1995; then it got revisited in 2005 and again in 2015… I think? The series… is far from perfect, there are so many things that can be described as unhinged (dialogue included) but, there is so much love for these two characters and I absolutely recommend it if you are ok with investing some time into reading it, and most of all if you are ready for a real heart break (again and again).]
Tumblr media
Hope this helps! Happy to go into more details or put aside a cleaner list if interested! 💜
There are a couple other mentions in the comics so in case I missed something important I will summon one of the gods of endless knowledge when it comes to X-Men to correct or add to the list: @maedelin

I’m not too well versed in the comics history, Has there been clear progress made for mutant rights and acceptance in the marvel universe? Like , between the big events and Orchises of the marvel (and real world) setting things back, is there a big difference with how mutants are treated de facto and dejure across the decades since the 60s? Any particular mutant rights milestones?
Great question!
People's History of the Marvel Universe, Week 22: Anti-Mutant Prejudice and Mutant Rights In the Longue Durée
This is a difficult question to answer, because Chris Claremont was very much of the "torture your darlings" school of comics writing, believing that the way to wring endless drama out of your characters was to keep piling tragedy on tragedy on top of them before finally giving them a moment of catharsis. This was especially true for how he handled the mutant metaphor from as far back as X-Men #99, where even when the X-Men saved the day, it would only seem to further fan the flames of anti-mutant prejudice.
Tumblr media
That being said, Claremont didn't present an unchanging portrait of anti-mutant prejudice constantly getting worse and worse - after all, the very beating heart of dramatic structure is variation, without which even the most grimdark tragedy becomes numbing and monotonous. So there are definitely key moments in the Claremont run where the X-Men are able to score a victory for mutantkind.
Tumblr media
Perhaps the first and most famous instance of the mutants notching a win comes in the climax of God Loves, Man Kills - Claremont's first great Statement Comic about bigotry. After having foiled the Reverend Stryker's plans to exterminate mutantkind by kidnapping Charles Xavier and using a Cerebro-like device to project lethal strokes into mutant brains across the world, the X-Men confront Stryker on live T.V - again, part of Chris Claremont's endless fascination with the power of media to shape our minds that would recur in Fall of the Mutants - fighting him on the level of ideology and rhetoric. Kitty Pryde is able to bait Stryker into attempted murder in front of the television cameras, ending his crusade of hate:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I'll do a full in-depth analysis of God Loves, Man Kills and how it both codifies and reveals Chris Claremont's approach to the mutant metaphor in a future issue of PHOMU.)
The next big moment of victory I've already written about in PHOMU Week 20, was Fall of the Mutants. In this storyline, the X-Men face off against Freedom Force and the Registration Act and ultimately sacrifice their lives to save the world in Dallas - once again, using the power of rhetoric and media to strike back against discrimination and oppression.
Tumblr media
After that, Claremont's next (and arguably last) big victory for mutant rights came in the "Genoshan Saga." (I'll also be doing an in-depth analysis of Genosha in a future issue of PHOMU.) Beginning in UXM #235 and winding its way through Inferno and the X-Tinction Agenda, the fictional nation of Genosha was Chris Claremont's big Statement about apartheid South Africa. An island nation off the east coast of Africa, Genosha seems to be a utopia free of poverty, crime, and disease - but its entire society rests on a foundation of mutant slavery, where mutants are press-ganged, mind-controlled, and genetically-manipulated to serve the human ruling class.
After a series of clashes between the X-Men and the Genoshan Magistrates, the X-Men defeat Genosha's anti-mutant military and their cyborg ally Cameron Hodge. But whereas most superhero comics end with the heroes foiling the evil plan of the supervillain and restoring the status quo, this time Chris Claremont and Louise Simonson went a step beyond the norm and had the X-Men carry out a political revolution that brings lasting structural change - toppling the Genoshan government and abolishing apartheid.
Tumblr media
Under the pen of later writers like Joe Pruett, Fabien Nicieza, and (most enduringly) Grant Morrison, the island of Genosha would be refashioned as a mutant homeland, a prosperous and advanced nation of sixteen million mutants ruled by Magneto. (Yet again, a topic for another issue of PHOMU.) Arguably ever since then, the story of the X-Men has been the story of the struggle to restore mutantkind to the position it was in before Cassandra Nova ended the first mutant nation-state, culminating in HOXPOX and the foundation of Krakoa. (A topic we'll be covering next year when FOTHOX/ROTPOX writes the final chapter in the Krakoan Era.)

It appears, with just a little over three weeks to go in the election, that the Trump-Vance ticket is building some momentum. The Republican ticket captured an 10-point lead in Polymarket odds, took important swing state leads in RealClearPolitics polling aggregation, and prompted public concern from leading Democrats. There is a political eternity between now and election day, but halfway through October, Republican “vibes” are decidedly positive. 
To date, there have been a handful of distinct “vibes” that have overhung the 2024 election. In the run-up to the Republican National Convention, and certainly after the Butler assassination attempt, Republicans by-and-large felt triumphant. Joe Biden’s fragility, Trump’s personal courage, and the public’s sense of national chaos seemed to guarantee impending victory. After Kamala’s coup, the cringeworthy “brat summer” adrenalized Democrats and delivered marginal polling leads to their candidates. 
As Kamala’s basement campaign carried on into the fall, however, vapidity was exposed as an insufficient communications strategy. Polling tightened throughout September and another down-to-the-wire electoral fight, circa 2016 and 2020, felt likely. That was until early October’s vice-presidential debate, which marked the beginning of a fortuitous streak of developments for Republicans. The current vibe shift, which I’ll dub the Vance vibe shift, renewed early-summer’s prospects of a comfortable Republican win.

Exploration des Comics Alternatifs : Les Incontournables à Ajouter à Votre Collection
Exploration des Comics Alternatifs : Les Incontournables à Ajouter à Votre Collection   Dans le vaste panorama des comics, les œuvres indépendantes se distinguent, souvent éclipsées par les géants que sont Marvel et DC. Pourtant, ces joyaux méconnus, émanant de maisons d'édition telles que Image Comics, Top Cow, IDW, et bien d'autres, regorgent de récits uniques et originaux. Aujourd'hui, je m'immerge dans cet univers méconnu pour en extraire des trésors cachés, des œuvres dignes de l'attention de tout amateur de comics, quel que soit son penchant en termes de genre : science-fiction, super-héros, horreur, ou fantasy. La diversité et la profondeur des récits proposés par les comics indépendants peuvent rivaliser, voire surpasser, ceux des deux géants de l'industrie. Parmi ces œuvres, quelques-unes se démarquent particulièrement et méritent une place de choix dans la bibliothèque de tout amateur de comics. En science-fiction, "Saga" de Brian K. Vaughan et Fiona Staples émerge comme une épopée spatiale entrelaçant drame familial et guerre intergalactique, louée pour son récit et son esthétique visuelle. "Descender" et sa suite "Ascender" de Jeff Lemire et Dustin Nguyen explorent un univers post-catastrophe où les robots sont proscrits, avec une poignante réflexion sur la famille et l'identité. Dans le domaine des super-héros, "Invincible" de Robert Kirkman et Ryan Ottley offre une vision rafraîchissante, parfois brutale, du genre, suivant l'évolution de Mark Grayson, un jeune héros aux prises avec l'héritage complexe de son père (il a été porté sur petit écran en série d'animation, diffusé sur Prime Video). "Hellboy" de Mike Mignola, fusion singulière de folklore, d'occultisme et d'aventure, présente un détective paranormal au destin extraordinaire (plusieurs adaptations cinématographiques, j'ai un faible pour les 1ers avec Ron Perlman dans le rôle de Hellboy). Pour les amateurs d'horreur, "Wytches" chez Image Comics plonge les lecteurs dans un univers sombre où les sorcières sont terrifiantes et bien réelles. "Black Eyed Kids" de Joe Pruett et Szymon Kudranski offre une vision glaçante des légendes urbaines à travers des récits mettant en scène des enfants aux yeux noirs semant la terreur. Enfin, dans le domaine de la fantasy, "The Wicked + The Divine" de Kieron Gillen et Jamie McKelvie explore le thème des dieux réincarnés en jeunes pop stars, un récit captivant mêlant mythologie et culture moderne. Après avoir plongé dans ces univers variés et profonds, je suis convaincu que les comics indépendants représentent une source inestimable de créativité et d'originalité. Ils offrent des perspectives et des récits uniques, loin des contraintes éditoriales des grandes maisons d'édition. "Saga", "Invincible", "Wytches", et "The Wicked + The Divine" ne constituent que la pointe de l'iceberg.  Chaque œuvre indépendante ouvre les portes d'un nouveau monde, invitant à repousser les limites de notre imagination. Les amateurs de comics, quels que soient leurs goûts, se doivent de plonger dans ces récits indépendants. Ils y découvriront non seulement des histoires captivantes et des univers richement construits, mais aussi une source d'inspiration et une liberté d'expression souvent absentes des œuvres plus mainstream. Les comics indépendants ne sont pas une simple alternative ; ils sont essentiels. via Blogger https://ift.tt/yrndWzj March 18, 2024 at 09:00AM
