Untouchable. Unstoppable. Unforgettable. Rogue #4 continues the solo series that gives Marvel’s most compelling and emotionally complex X-Man the spotlight she has always deserved — diving deeper into the life, powers, and inner world of Anna Marie, the woman who can absorb the memories, abilities, and life force of anyone she touches, and who has spent a lifetime learning to live with the most isolating gift in the mutant world. Issue #4 builds on the momentum of the series with the kind of character-driven storytelling, hard-won emotional truth, and superhero action that makes a Rogue solo series one of the most rewarding reads in the current Marvel lineup.
Whether you’ve been with Rogue since issue #1, you’re an X-Men devotee who considers her the most fully realized character in the entire mutant roster, or you’re a Marvel reader who gravitates toward the most emotionally intelligent superhero storytelling being published today, Rogue #4 is exactly where the series hits its stride.
🧤 Fun Fact: Rogue first appeared in Avengers Annual #10 in 1981 as a villain — memorably attacking Ms. Marvel and permanently absorbing her powers and memories — before defecting to the X-Men in Uncanny X-Men #171 in 1983; her redemption arc became one of the most celebrated character journeys in X-Men history, and she has remained one of the franchise’s most beloved and enduring figures for over four decades.
