This was a one-shot prequel released during the time of the first X-Men
movie! There were three different prequel comics: Magneto,
Rogue, and Wolverine. Wolverine was unique, because he had a
prequel to his prequel, released exclusively by Toys R Us stores.
So I guess you could say there were four different prequel
titles. Not to mention the fact that each of the three major
prequels had three different covers. Marvel produced two
"standard" covers for each title. One was a illustrated cover,
the other a photo cover. Dynamic Forces also released a cover for
each of the three comics. Those are quite collectible.
Dynamic Forces covers were limited and usually autographed, coming with
official certificates and in trade paperback form. So this
"Rogue" comic has three different covers in all. The best cover,
by far, was from Dynamic Forces. It shows a very sleek and sexy
Rogue in her X-Men costume.

This comic explains why Rogue was on the run at the beginning of the
X-Men movie. Everything that happened to her, mutant-wise, before
the first X-Men film is explained. We learn that she had an
earlier encounter with Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Storm. Rogue was
able to escape them, although they meant her no harm. At the very
end of the story, we see Rogue meet with Wolverine for the first
time. And that's where the movie picks up. It would be neat
to see THIS made into a live-action mini-film, because it really suits
the movie and is a cool story. The other prequels would not be so
easy to make live-action, but this story would be very do-able.
