  This entire issue is a lesson in disappointment. Magneto finds disappointment, as does Rogue. The biggest recipients of it, however, are the readers as they slog through a story that tries too hard to be gut-wrenching and sacrifices character development to pander to emotional turmoil. "X-Men Legacy" #274 stars two of the most powerful X-Men ever, but the deceptively simple task of rescuing civilians from a collapsed subway tunnel seems to suck the confidence from Rogue and the arrogance from Magneto. I get what Gage is trying to do, but the story comes across poorly executed, especially since either character could have handled this predicament easily alone. I've enjoyed "X-Men Legacy" more than I haven't, but this issue isn't one of the enjoyable ones. Read Full Review
