Avengers vs. X-Men: X-Men Legacy by Rafa Sandoval, Christos Gage, David Baldeón
2.0
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.
