ROGUE: THE SAVAGE LAND Series From Marvel Will Revisit Rogue's Comic Book Romance With Magneto

This January, brace yourselves for jungle action, untamed romance, and more in the pages of Marvel Comics' Rogue: The Savage Land.

First announced by Polygon, we've learned that the series will be written by Tim Seeley (Venom War: Wolverine) and illustrated by new artist sensation and Marvel Art Atelier winner Zulema Lavina in her Marvel Comics debut.

The five-issue limited series promises to take fans back to Chris Claremont and Jim Lee's legendary Uncanny X-Men #269 and #274-275 where Rogue embarked on a wild journey in the Savage Land, began her passionate relationship with Magneto, and sported her now iconic Savage Land look.

It’s a pivotal chapter in Rogue’s history, and at long last, it's said we'll get to experience the whole story.

Here's the official description for Rogue: The Savage Land #1:

The X-Man called Rogue has always been a survivor, but without her mutant powers she’ll need to prove it like never before! As the Savage Land turns towards war, Rogue will need all her skills to survive dinosaurs, mutates, and the Master of Magnetism himself!

"In these five issues, I get to utilize my love for 80s X-Men, Jim Lee, Chris Claremont, Zabu, scantily clad heroines (and heroes!) and probably most importantly: dinosaurs," Seeley told the site in a recent interview. "Alongside my collaborator Zulema Lavina, we're going to deliver something fresh, while honoring the impossibly sexy and epic classic tale of a young Rogue, and two of the weirdest allies a girl from Mississippi could ask for: Magneto and Ka-Zar."

Lavina added, "After winning the Marvel Art Atelier, I was still realizing what an incredible opportunity this is, and then I was asked to draw this Rogue limited series which I immediately fell in love with. It is great to collaborate again with Tim Seeley and I hope the readers will enjoy this amazing story as much as I am."

"The character of Rogue is full of empathy and determination, the iconic Savage Land setting is fantastic, the story is full of wild and unexpected stuff - I can’t wait for you to read it!"

@Superheromoviefan - My sentiments EXACTLY.

I always hated this.

Is there anyway Rogue's Savage Land outfit can be brought back, WITHOUT Magneto being included.🤣 I can't imagine any Rogue fan, being excited about this rehashing. But Marvel does like trolling.

@99OPTIMISTPRIME - What's wrong with Magneto? I mean except for wanting to destroy the human race.

Still not ok she [frick]ed magneto while having a relationship with gambit. I know it’s been an on/off relationship (mostly on) but it still irks me to think she did that knowing this guy back home loves her.

@Order66 - Gambit had only just appeared when this happened in the comics I think.

@ObserverIO - Certainly don't think he was an Xman when Rogue ended up in the Savage land and folk forget she started out the adopted daughter of Mystique and Destiny leading to being part of the Brotherhood before going to the Prof for help after ending up with a fragment of Danvers mind stuck in her head...

...so what ever the precise timeline her relations with Magneto, even when not romantic in nature, predate her relationship with Gambit (and ALL complicated during the period where she basicaly had multi-personality disorder after attacking Ms. Marvel) but I am a tad fuzzy on specifics cos didn't read all the comics in release order during the 80's (and any from before then) as mostly was reliant on what friends brought in to school and let me read or swapped with some of mine.

@ObserverIO - she hadn't met Gambit yet

@ObserverIO - I thought it was smack dab in the middle of everything. I don’t think it was in the beginning. I could be wrong tho.

ObserverIO - 9/15/2024, 12:07 PM
@Simonsonrules - That's right they hadn't even met yet. In fact I think Gambit had only met Storm and a few others at this point.

So very feminist. That's sarcasm.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 9/15/2024, 8:11 AM
@dagenspear - Depends on the specific type of feminism to be fair, if a woman chooses to expose more skin that can fit into the whole female freedom to choose what to do/wear part of it as long as entirely her choice and not made to do so...

...as in 'traditionalists' would dress more 'conservatively' and thus not be scantily clad...

...but that is complicated by the fact this is fictional and originaly drawn by men thus effectively the character was 'forced' to be sexy by men so...

...so depends if viewed as a woman going against traditional norms by being free to be more provocative or if considered from the PoV of men objectifying women by making them scantily clad.

@Apophis71 - And in this case, this is a younger woman being made into a more pliant (at least in the case of 97 from what I've seen and heard), sexually engaged character for a much older man for little real character reason I think.

Apophis71 - 9/15/2024, 1:50 PM
@dagenspear - Yup

The Rogue/Magneto thing is just dumb, and did nothing to better the show. With the age gap, it makes him seem more like a groomer.
