Ever since I watched X-Men (90's animated series), Rogue has been my favorite character.
This issue is her 1st appearance in Marvel and she takes on the Avengers and Captain Marvel.
Besides Rogue, I was intrigued by Captain Marvel and Spider Woman.
Hawkeye and Beast were also hilarious.
I look forward to MCU's interpretation of this issue in the Captain Marvel sequel and hope for an Avengers crossover with other hero teams like Fantastic Four and X-Men.

It's difficult to read old "classic" comics because the art isn't as sophisticated and the writing style is pretty old fashioned and extremely cheesy! However I think this is a very important issue to read and it packs a punch.
You've got Spider-woman rescuing Carol Danvers after Rogue took her memories, powers and personality and left her a blank slate. Professor X helped her get her memories back which includes everything that happened with Marcus in what I known now as 'The Rape of Ms Marvel' story.
Meanwhile the Avengers and Spider-Woman have a pretty epic fight with Mystique, her Brotherhood of Mutants and Rogue (who has Ms Marvel powers plus Captain America and Thor!).
The conclusion of this issue is where it gets really good. The Avengers visit Carol at the Xavier's and she really lays into them about what they did to her by being happy about the creepy pregnancy and letting Marcus take her away with big smiles and waves, and how much she hated them for betraying her like that. She even slaps Thor! The Avengers all go away shamefaced and with a lot to think about.
I do love Carol.
My main negative with this is that I'm pretty sure Rogue is a teenager in this story but she's drawn like a haggard 50 year old lady with bad hooker make up. Very distracting!

An absolutely wonderful read. I was recommended this book because it was the origin of Rouge and I loved the character. The art was stunning and the plot interesting. So much action. Could not recommend it more if you can get your hands on it. Five out of five stars.

This issue is mentioned bueno Bendis in his final Avengers issue as "the best comic book ever". I can see some of the themes from his run originate here. Good stuff!
