It all started at the end of the " Invasion From Dimension X" arc. In stopping Khan they almost lost their lives. They survived but lost something nearly as important, they lost their powers, the things they had thought defined them. So they decided to leave the team for a while to rediscover themselves, but now…………….. Rogue & Gambit are back!

I found this to be an interesting issue. Claremont has got four different storylines all running coherently through the issue and it will be interesting to find out the connection that binds everything together. Even though a lot was happening Claremont has everything moving smoothly and I especially liked his moments. Next issue will answer questions, can't wait!?!

Kordy's art was pretty good this issue, only a few slips. I like Bishop with the short cut, but thought his jacket often looked misshapen and I thought the body of the boy looked more like a doll (only small things). I did think Gambit looked kinda strange, but can't put my finger on it. I know I've said it before, but I do like Kordy'sSage and his Storm this time around did like GREAT. Also I have to agree with Claremont, Kordy'sRogue is the best I've seen her!
