Listener Questions[]
- Did Rogue ever make peace with Carol Danvers over stealing her powers/memories/etc.?
- I'd like to find a way to introduce my daughter to comics and she's 3 years old. I randomly picked up a Tiny Titansbook, but the first couple of stories featuring girl characters were about boys and clothes. I'd prefer to introduce her to the Marvel Universe anyway. Do you know of any good X-Men books for a very young person?
