This January, prepare for jungle action, untamed romance, and more in ROGUE: THE SAVAGE LAND !
Announced earlier today at Polygon, ROGUE: THE SAVAGE LAND will be written by Tim Seeley (VENOM WAR: WOLVERINE) and drawn by new artist sensation and Marvel Art Atelier winner Zulema Lavina in her Marvel Comics debut.
The five-issue limited series will take fans back to Chris Claremont and Jim Lee’s legendary UNCANNY X-MEN (1981) #269 and #274 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, readers will experience the whole story!
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 Polygon. “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."

Vla la pression pour son premier comics marvel.
J’ai jeté un oeil sur son insta. Bon c’est pas mal, mais ceux qui s’attendent à du Jim Lee like risquent d’être déçus.
Et puis la jalousie de tous les dessinateurs de comics (a en croire le topic anniversaire) qui constatent qu un petit nouveau rafle la possibilité de dessiner ce look.
In one of the weirder - and « What If » moments of Rogue’s history - it was revealed by Chris Claremont in 2016 that he intended Rogue’s appearance to be based on Grace Jones. A Jamaican model, actress, and singer, Jones was a fixture of the Studio 54 music scene at the time Rogue was conceived.
She moved into modeling and acting, including roles in films like Conan The Destroyer . There was just one problem. Artist Michael Golden didn’t know what Grace Jones looked like, so we got a gaunt lady with a white streak in her hair.
