Rogue Touch? AKA - X-men for Chicks?
I will wholeheartedly admit that I willingly and quite often read what could be considered "chick-lit" I loathe that term though. Why in the world should a story that's heavy on the romance and/or sex be categorized solely as "chick-lit" is beyond me.
I also willingly admit that I'm a gamer. I'm a comic book reader. I love science fiction and fantasy (I think unicorns still may just exist somewhere!)
But, to mix the two?! Chick-lit AND comic-books? I'm more than a little horrified. Maybe it will surprise me. Maybe it will be done well. Maybe.....but I'm holding onto doubts. The book in the post title is called Rogue Touch. It's an attempt of Marvel to girly-fy (girlify, girly-fy???! whatever!) the X-Men character Rogue.
Here's the Barnes and Noble link to the book http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/rogue-touch-christine-woodward/1115480917?ean=9781401311025
Rogue was always one of my favorites. She's a little standoffish because of her mutant ability. But she had a huge heart underneath it all and truly wanted to fit in somewhere with someone, but at the end of the day, she was a kick-ass heroine in her own right who greatly added to the team. It's a little bit sad that Marvel thinks a new generation of females needs to meet a Rogue who is marginalized into the chick-lit category when she's so much more than that. Grrrgh.......
Sigh, I'd have more to say on this but apparently they frown upon people being late to work when one is in charge of the clothing side of the rather large neighborhood Tar-jay!
