Also enjoyed that story from the standpoint that it legitimized Rogue as an X-Man

Ryan, can you explain that? I've never had a hard time thinking of Rogue as an X-man (closet Rogue fan here, you've been warned).

Edit: aw crap, never mind. Please go ahead and explain if you would, but I think I understand.

I meant only in the eyes of the rest of the team, not for me personally. I read this as a back issue, having started collecting mid-Secret Wars. She was already an accepted member and I loved her to death. Wolverine and the rest of the crew were still questioning her loyalty, then she sacrificed herself for Logan. Touching moment, when he let her absorb his healing power.

in the right era, i would say Legion was more visually interesting - on the other hand, they've also had some of the WORST costumes in other eras, while the Avengers have only had a few clunkers here and there.

As John said, Long Live the Legion!
