Rogue: The Savage Land #1 (Marvel Animation X-Men ’97 Variant) – A Collector’s and Investor’s Gem
Unleash the adventure with Rogue: The Savage Land #1 (2025), featuring the exclusive Marvel Animation X-Men ’97 Variant cover. This limited-edition comic, tying Rogue’s iconic Savage Land arc to the acclaimed X-Men ’97 series, is a must-own for collectors and investors seeking high-demand, media-driven keys.
Key Appearances
Written by Tim Seeley (Local Man) and illustrated by Zulema Scotto Lavina, this first issue of a five-part miniseries revisits Rogue’s powerless days in the Savage Land, post-Siege Perilous. Set during Chris Claremont’s Uncanny X-Men run (#269, #274–275), it follows Rogue navigating a prehistoric warzone alongside Magneto, Ka-Zar, and new threats like dinosaurs and mutates. The story explores Rogue’s resilience and complex dynamics with Magneto, with subtle nods to their X-Men ’97 romantic tension, though Seeley emphasizes the comic stands independent of the show. The X-Men ’97 Variant cover, inspired by the animated series’ aesthetic, enhances its collectible appeal.

Current Value
Released January 15, 2025, the Marvel Animation X-Men ’97 Variant is a retailer-exclusive cover, boosting its scarcity. eBay listings show ungraded NM (Near Mint) copies ranging from $15–$40, with CGC 9.8 graded copies fetching $80–$150, driven by X-Men ’97’s popularity and Rogue’s fanbase. Standard covers retail at $4.99, while high-ratio variants (e.g., J. Scott Campbell 1:100 Virgin, $150–$300) highlight the Animation Variant’s relative affordability. Compared to the Leirix MegaCon Trade Dress ($20–$50 NM), this variant benefits from stronger media tie-in demand.

Expected Value and Trends
Rogue’s prominence in X-Men ’97 and potential MCU appearances fuel this issue’s investment potential. The X-Men ’97 Variant’s direct tie to the animated series, which reignited interest in Rogue and Magneto’s dynamic, positions it for rapid appreciation. Similar media-linked variants (e.g., What If…? variants) have seen 50–100% value increases within 1–2 years. By 2027, NM copies could reach $40–$80, and CGC 9.8 copies may hit $200–$350, especially with X-Men ’97 Season 2 (2025) and ongoing X-Men hype. Limited supply and grading delays (expected July 2025) may further drive prices.
