6. “Going Rogue, Part 6”

Writer: Robert Rodi
Artist: Cliff Richards

Well this was a whole lotta nothing to end the arc. I don't like being mean in these but I really just felt lost by the end of the story.

Essentially, Rogue, Gambit, Campbell, Anna, and Rogue's mom all square off in the dream world. And it turns out Anna is the Mom's dream but the mom is also a dream person, having died in the Far Banks some time ago. It's just kind of convoluted and messy and unsatisfying. The dialogue and art are all solid, and I think the last scene of the issue is fantastic, but overall the landing is not quite stuck. And that's a shame.

I think this arc is decent but not overall recommendable in specific. Which is a shame. But next issue we're switching writing and art team so maybe a change of pace will make a difference. Because for now I'd say that the worst parts of the arc were the parts that were actually about Rogue.
