This is such incredible writing, and such a different characterization of Marie/Rogue. She's becoming a drunk because it's the only way she can get relief from the warring voices in her head of the people she's absorbed. Then, she's on the road to drug addiction when she discovers that her mutation turned off with an undetermined coctail of pills. Logan still thinks he's a perv, but she's quickly outstripping him in the kinky sex department (I do want to see him get over that and just take what he wants...especially since she so obviously wants it, too). The last scene with snarky Jean, taking advantage of him in the elevator when he's vulnerable ruins them both...is there no redemption for them in this tale? (Not that I care all that much for the Scott/Jean story -- the X-men and Xavier here are well-intentioned, but ultimately are really to blame for the downward spiral in Rogue and Logan's lives from here on out. Tremendous story...I would just love to see more of the road back...as they finally get to leave the Mansion...in "Coping Mechanisms." There HAS to be more...just cannot end the chronological story with Logan's final line, "Some things change, Marie. You really don't know me at all." That's too devastating a line to just end this terrific series on. Please, jenn, somebody...anybody....
