Written by Tim Seeley (Local Man) and illustrated by Zulema Scotto Lavina, this issue, released February 26, 2025, continues Rogue’s powerless adventure in the Savage Land. Rogue, joined by Zabu, races to rescue Ka-Zar amid dinosaurs, mutates, and a mysterious new god threatening the land. Magneto’s timely intervention saves them, but tensions escalate as Rogue and Zabu venture off alone, questioning their allies’ motives. Set during Uncanny X-Men #269, #274–275, the story deepens Rogue’s resilience and Magneto’s complex role, with the Savage Land Mutates as looming threats. J. Scott Campbell’s Trade Dress cover, with vibrant colors by Tanya Lehoux, showcases Rogue in dynamic detail, amplifying its collectible appeal.
The J. Scott Campbell Trade Dress variant, a retailer-exclusive cover, retails at $3.99 but commands $15–$40 in NM (Near Mint) condition on eBay, driven by Campbell’s fanbase and the series’ hype. Signed copies, including a $35 signature fee and Certificate of Authenticity, sell for $50–$80. CGC 9.8 graded copies fetch $80–$150, reflecting strong demand. By comparison, the 1:100 Campbell Virgin Variant sells for $200–$400, while the Amanda Conner Variant ranges from $15–$40 NM. The Trade Dress offers an accessible entry into Campbell’s coveted covers.
Rogue’s soaring popularity, fueled by X-Men ’97 and potential MCU appearances, positions this series for growth. J. Scott Campbell’s variants consistently appreciate, often rising 50–100% within 1–3 years, as seen with his Spider-Gwen covers ($50–$200 NM). By 2027, NM copies of this Trade Dress could reach $40–$80, and CGC 9.8 copies may hit $150–$300, especially with X-Men ’97 Season 2 (2025) boosting Rogue’s visibility. Grading delays (expected July 2025) and limited supply may further drive prices. The series’ ties to X-Men nostalgia and Campbell’s market draw enhance its long-term potential.
The Rogue: The Savage Land #2 J. Scott Campbell Trade Dress variant blends affordability, artistic prestige, and narrative significance. Campbell’s iconic style and the series’ focus on Rogue’s pivotal arc make it a collector’s gem. Ideal for fans seeking a high-demand key or investors betting on X-Men’s resurgence, this issue offers strong upside.
