Rogue comes to her senses in this AvX tie-in at the cost of Ms. Marvel's soul. After being imprisoned by Magik, the high-flying Avenger is tortured by creatures of her own making. Gage did his homework by integrating haunting demonic versions of enemies in Carol's past such as the Brood, Marcus, and Deathbird; this is an enjoyable part of the story for long time followers.

Also compelling is the moment when Rogue finally opens her eyes; that combination of rage and hopelessness was priceless. "We'd won," such a simple statement, yet it clearly marks the path for what the southern belle needs to do next. The rest of the issue is an exciting rollercoaster of self-discoveries, fire, and brimstone. The artwork, however, does not rise to meet the caliber of the story, falling a bit short; nonetheless, it is a fun issue.
