Missty’s pick of the week! Tim Seeley and Zulema Scotto Lavina tell us a lost story from Rogue’s time in the Savage Land! Alone in the Savage Land, Rogue has learned to survive, and in nothing but a one piece and thigh highs! With only the memories from those she had touched to keep her company during the long nights, her loneliness leads her to believe this is her perdition. Until she meets Magneto, and they learn a war is brewing with the Deep Men and that Ka-Zar has been taken! “Environmental collapse. Tribal war… Mass extinction of the weak…” The Savage Land is in trouble, and Rogue may be its only hope.

Chris Condon and Alessandro Cappuccio unleash Ultimate Wolverine! The ruthless triad of Colossus, Magik, and Omega Red rule the Eurasian Republic, and they’ve created a secret division of the government to experiment with mutantkind’s genetic powers.

Now the Maker’s ultimate weapon has been sent to take down the Opposition and maintain control. Who is Wolverine in the Ultimate Universe? Who is the weapon behind the mask? No mutant is safe from the rampage of the Winter Soldier!

The last of the Horizon Experiment one-shots, but hopefully not the last of these stories, is Finders Keepers, a “reverse Indiana Jones” story, from writer Vita Ayala and artist Skylar Patridge. Ines leaves Puerto Rico to follow her dreams of archeology. Her years of hard work and sacrifice have led her to an internship at the American Art Museum, but when the Museum is set to unveil a new exhibit featuring the Boriken artifact El Corazon, the heart of the island, something shifts in her. With protests calling for the return of misappropriated artifacts to their place of origin, her grandmother’s stories of El Corazon del Yunque, and the condescending superiors in her department, Ines feels called to steal El Corazon. As a fan of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Mummy (1999), this heist story about returning items to their rightful cultures is something I needed. With action and folklore elements mixed in, this is an excellent start to Ines’s adventures of dismantling major institutions’ erasures and theft of minority history.
