shane_tiernan's review against another edition

This is mostly centered on Rogue. She realizes the Phoenix is turning her friends evil and Magik sends her to another dimension with warring alien factions. I'm kind of a sucker for Marvel Cosmic type stuff and this fit the bill. Then she comes home tells Magneto she needs some space, so they can't have a relationship and stops a jailbreak with Mimic, who also leaves the school to find himself.
More importantly this ends the X-men Legacy run at #275. Of course it will be restarted and there will be a whole new creative team. Looks like I only read about 20 of the 275, but that's okay, there are just too many damn X-men titles to keep up with them all.

The Avengers Vs. X-Men era ruined most of the mutant and Avenger books for an entire year. The story was convoluted, and unfolded completely out of order in a variety of books. And, as usual, it's not collected well.
This collection features tie-ins from when Rogue and the staff of the Jean Grey school have to figure out which side of the Avengers Vs X-Men Vs Uncanny X-Men Vs New Avengers Vs Themeselves fight, then suddenly we're in the middle of the main AVX storyline, and then we're shunted off, along with Rogue for a sidestory that dares to ask the question "What if Rogue starred in Planet Hulk, but it was boring, and didn't have any other developed characters? Or purpose?" And then we're spit out after AvX is over, with absolutely no narrative conclusions to any of the issues from before Rogue was...whatevered.
It's bad editorial, and it's bad writing. The dialogue reads like the outline for a rough draft of fanfiction. I would definitely avoid this, unless you're, like me, a completist; or, unlike me, a fan of the Avengers Vs X-Men era.

I haven't read all of AvX and I probably don't care enough to read all of it tbh, but this volume made enough sense on its own that I enjoyed it a lot. It's Rogue-centric, and it's Rogue at her best--funny, tough, and just. I especially loved her with Ms. Marvel.

It's an excellent conclusion to the series, and a much better take on AVX than the original AVX itself (in my opinion). I loved Frenzy's story, it really fitted well there. The main storyline featuring Rogue was also a great one, I really liked the whole metaphor thing going on, usually these kind of stories don't convince me but somehow this one did.
Now I really have to find what comes next...

Rogue is a fun character but this collection just didn't do her justice. By staying mostly adjacent to the AvX story line that consumed a big hunk of the Marvel universe at that time they took one of their more interesting pieces off the board for the sake of a ho hum, fish out of water X-men space story.
