heh heh, well it could be some guy from china without a green card to be in the states to study under Daredevil, but .... we do know that the writer did confirm it is Gambit. LOL
I think this time ... we are okay. July 22nd is when Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde #1 will be out.
Can you believe it, they're giving Squirrel Girl a new #1. The book is at cut off or lower and she gets another shot. *sigh*
Comistorian does Gambit origin's video and mispronounces Lebeau.
https://youtu.be/bKGfwPaufyE
its annoying, all he does is recap origins and butcher the Le Beau pronunciation
I didnt like how he said Gambit's powers were "to charge objects with kinetic energy and throw them". . . Throwing things has nothing to do with his powers. It's like saying Wolverine has the mutant ability of stabbing.

Gambit appears in a picture in AoA 2 and AoX Gambit makes an appearance courtesy of Magnetos memories of them all getting destroyed in Red Skull 2
So that brings the SW Gambit death toll to what, now?
Guys...guys I'm really confused. Who are these Gambits? These wallpaper Gambits? Are they 616 Gambit? Or are they all random alternate Gambits? Is 616 Gambit really dead? Is he ever coming back?
Seriously this is too convoluted.
Iron Man died and Cyclops was the only mutant to survive the Incursion.
What are the rule for plot spoilers on this thread?
When did Jubes grow a chest? Cool cover art, but I can see some haters using this as "creeper" ammo.
Hi Y'all,
I been out the loop since Amazing X-Factor. What the hell is happening? Did Marvel did a DC 52 thing? Erase everything? No more Earth 616???? Whats going on? I only get my Gambit and X-men news from this forum. Lost like, land of the lost.
Thanks,
Jsremy
ssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh its not a reboot like the new 52, but it is, but its not, it totally is, but its totally not, basically they are getting rid of the multiverse it would seem and its all just a vehicle to get Miles Moralis (however its spelled) over to the 616 because that's all that will be left, with popular character from other universes in the new 616 like Old Man Logan
When did Jubes grow a chest? Cool cover art, but I can see some haters using this as "creeper" ammo.
yup Jubs boobs are all wrong
It reminds me Gambit/Hellcat date story)
Lol boobiLee they definitely matured her. . . . . Punisher Gambit looks WICKED. . . . . . I hope he does something awesome. . . . . also has anyone noticed the sudden surge of Gambit cameos. . . . I'm stoked he's still making appearances like he's not forgotten even if it's incidental.
I thought he was onlying killed by Modok thus far. Remy 92 isn't confirmed dead yet. Collector Gambit is still alive.. Is there a running tally of appearances and deaths in SW it would be interesting...
Oh the days when Gambit was badass. While I think it was a very favorable outcome for Gambit, I do think the big factor here besides the full deck is that Gladiator's powers depend on his self-confidence and his being mind controlled by Xavier probably means he is not at peak power as well as he underestimates Gambit and isn't prepared for his attack.
yeah Cannonballs kicked his ass too
Yeah I got that book. Pretty cool artwork.
I hope that doesn't mean Sims/Bower and that is actually someone else on the panel. I don't know who was at the panel. But I would like a different Gambit than the TV persona in XMen '92.
I just hope he doesn't end up on Uncanny Avengers, I don't mind him and Rogue teaming up again, just do not want him looking stupid or pathetic again.
Also Gambit joining UA could work as continuation of sub plot from his solo when Rogue asked him to join team.
If Duggan avoids the romance and writes them as teammates/friends, I will cry tears of joy. Gambit being an Avenger has been something I've wanted to see for a while now (also something I wanted to do once I started writing comics). My friends and I would make lists about who should be Avengers and Gambit was always at the top.
Also, think about it. This team already has Quicksilver, Steve Rogers, Spider-Man, Rogue, and Human Torch. Them's some big names. Haven't we all wanted Gambit to be more involved and start interacting with some bigger names for a while now?
Gambit is showing up somewhere but not in an X-Men book, and it is a major role.

Guys. I think we know what's going down.
Also Neko, apparently Rogue is only in the coma for a short while. She's perfectly fine in the Uncanny Avengers #1 preview.
For those asking " didn't Deadpool die" the answer is quite simple, everyone died ..... well exept the very few that escaped when the two earths collided. The eath is back due to the events of Secret Wars so everyone who died in the catastrophe are back, simple.
A cosmic event seems to be the only way to kill Deadpool.
So wait wait wait wait wait, these are the normal earth characters again? Sorry I know I keep asking what's going on but I'm not really reading anything right now. Saw this comment on another forum:
So, if Gambit does join this team then it's....normal Gambit? Alternate earth Gambit but the same as normal Gambit? New Gambit?
I don't see why everyone is jumping to the conclusion that Gambit will be joining UA. That solicit doesn't reference Gambit in any way. I'd say it had more to do with Pete Wisdom, assuming they were using "bloody" as Brits use it and not referring to actual blood. Then I'd say it might be Moon Knight or maybe... well I don't really care past that point.
Original 616 Gambit every one else seems to be back who "died"at the beginning of SW
I don't know why everyone is jumping to conclusions that is UA either. And its not just here.
Yeah, they're going bonkers over at CBR... I've read the solicits several times and I don't see where it implies Gambit at all.
GERRY DUGGAN (W) • RYAN STEGMAN (A/C)
Variant cover by Tradd Moore
MARVEL ‘92 VARIANT BY WHILCE PORTACIO
• The Avengers close in on the new Inhuman that’s destroying Boston.
• The Torch wishes he paid better attention in science class, and an Avenger has a secret that may undo the team before it begins!
• Plus -- the surprising final member of this series makes a grand and bloody entrance.
i think thats where they are getting their conclusion from, the bloody means blood and is not a referance to Pete Wisdom as he is leading a different Avengers team, unless he will appear on both teams, i dont think its Gambit though i have a feeling its either New Wolverine or Old Man Logan
I thought the same, but I refrained from voicing it due to the fact both of them are already slated for 2 books each outside of this.
Can somebody guess who will write Gambit from their body language? :)
https://youtube/Ih3MxViqPuE?t=8h16m40s
Thanks Purplevit, I had no idea where the stuff was ....
I don't recognize any of those guys, so I couldn't tell you.
Sorry for broken link and i don't know if this one is correct. Here is the other question:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wapx8xnEFaA&feature=youtube&t=7h5m30s
It is a shame that he forgot which book it is :idiot2:
Thanks. I hope his role will be really major.
Is no one else afraid of death?!
Is no one else afraid of death?!
he has a major role really doesnt translate to he will die, like, ive never heard a character mentioned to have a major role and then is killed off....unless he is killed off and brought back again
I didnt like the tone of voice and body language. The "X-Men fans will continue to be unhappy" joke didnt sit well with me, as if we cant be satisfied because we as nearly a whole have disagree with the vast majority of stories that have been published in the last 5-8 years, with small exceptions. But the whole panel itself seemed lifeless and lacking of joy. Kind of a Marshawn Lynch approach of "I'm just here so I don't get fined" kind of feel. Google it, if you don't get what I'm talking about.
Yeah. It is strange.
X fans, buy are new comics that will make you really angry in issues #3 and 5 ???
But it is true though, some fans have already decided that the story is going to suck and refuse to even consider that it might be good. It is unfair to everyone who is involved in the process like the writers, artists, and yes even the publisher and the editors. But marvel knows this now and are not afraid to bring it up, if some consumers can constant bring up how bad is going to be in every forum and everywhere else then talk about it then sorry they have a right to bring it up as well and even make a joke about it. About the panel itself come on they have been there since the comic con started dealing with panel after panel and thousands of fans you expect them to be alert and not a little bit tired. Sorry but to me that is a little unfair. That is just my opinion though.
At the end of the day, Marvel is under no obligation to be happy happy joy joy with fans and there is certainly a subset of fans that seem entitled and think that Marvel needs to cater to them. The fact is comics are no longer Marvel's meal ticket so if they don't want to play nice with fans, they don't have to. Just as you don't have to buy their comics. Whether you think it's good business or not is irrelevant really. Until such time that Marvel's alleged attitude to fans impacts their bottom line signifcantly, they have no incentive to play nice.
Well seeing readership drops every year despite their attempts to bolster them, I guess fan reaction/ interaction is as much a factor in their sales as any... Outside of the amount of readers vs cost of the average book leveraged against general interest. But what you are saying is true, they aren't obligated to play nice or interact with fans, or even provide information about their products, but it definitely is counter productive when attending a fan/press reliant event. If they have no interest in being there why not just do as they've several times this year and not have X-Men panel? Well they have one because one would assume they want the press and perhaps even goodwill in hopes you spend your money. NYCC is one of the biggest conventions and most Marvel centric events of the year, next to D3 now. Not saying this was some kind of disaster PR move, or even all that bad, just not the most enthusiastic of showings.
But again, your right. Comics aren't their biggest seller anymore. They'd move on just fine without it or our poultry dollars. So, question is, despite the pessimism, why are we still here?

On a separate note what is the A- Force gambit appearance people are talking about?
While the medium of comics may be slowly being whittled away story telling isn't :). Disney and Marvel still have excellent opportunities to translate X-men into other mediums while still giving the core comic experience TAS, EVO, WATX and the movies heck digital distribution prove that. The x-men and what they represent is timeless I'm going to be sure I pass them on in some form to my children and ensure it goes at least another generation :). While I hope comics are around for much Longer than that I kind of believe the X-men will outlive the format and their stories will continue on well after.
Speaking of such things imagine re-living your favorite x-men tales in a VR world I am excited for the future of story telling :).
On a separate note what is the A- Force gambit appearance people are talking about?
However, Jun 19th is an odd date to choose. Gambit's first appearance was August 15th 1990 - that was the release date of UXM #266.
We can still celebrate - images, and fun stuff from now to the end of the year!
I like this idea ;)
But for good celebration we need a tasty cake ;D
I completely disagree with you based on something I have observed since I was 17 to 33, but I will respect your opinion. ^^
I loved this comments from appreciation thread
Askia: How in the world does the character retain popularity after being pissed on for over a decade, outside of Asmus and Liu..
Jiraiya: Pure awesomeness cannot be so easily destroyed :). There is just something special about him.
Stupid question does the guild have a sigil?
I... Do not know. Dantay?
The sigil has a direwolf running on an ice white field, with the words 'Winter is Coming' underneath.
;)
I was kind of looking forward to him being an anti-hero too. I doubt that he will be a regular member of some other book anytime soon.
Lol ;). I'm going refrain from any reaction to a baseless rumor from 4chan. 8)
Why must you speak the truth? Let me hold onto my diluted dreams.
i loled
Well, not to steal cc008's thunder but ... if that is the case, I might like this book. Gambit, Cable and Deadpool? I'm in.
That said, I'm not subbing to the book, I will buy it for Gambit and only the issues he's in, despite liking Cable and Deadpool. ;)
I'll keep you up to date on all the happenings in the book, Neko ;)
Imagine Nicieza was writing this? Three of his babies.
It would never happen but it would be great to see Cable and Gambit talk about all that happened during MC between them and Hope even if it is as simply as Gambit asking how Hope is doing. It always seemed odd to me that after MC, no one really brought up the role Gambit played in saving her from Bishop and ultimately giving her to Xavier.
I can`t stop to think what an awesome X-treme X-men team could be from UA characters: Gambit, Cable, Deadpool, Rogue and Quicksilver. I would also love to add Sage and Bishop.
Gambit's return in "Uncanny Avengers" #5 will cause major shockwaves for the book and his relationship with team leader Rogue
Or just say it's a cameo and be done with it. And I will check it out but I will expect nothing. I don't expect spoilers but the solicit and vagueness of the interview does not entice me as a fan. I am not telling you not buy. You be the cheerleader. :)
how hard is it for him to say no Gambit will not be a plot point for Rogue, its not a spoiler unless he is

Masterworks, Omnibuses And Other Collections From Marvel Comics In 2016
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/12/08/mastrworks-omnibuses-and-other-collections-from-marvel-comics-in-2016/
In the light of the new X-Men ’92 comic, we get a collection of X-Men: The Trial of Gambit collecting Uncanny X-Men (1981) #341-350, -1, X-Men (1991) #62-64, -1. Is it time for Marvel to bring Scott Lobdell in out of the cold?
Scott's at DC and he's writing absolute crap. Probably for the best that he stay away from Gambit or the X-Men. Hell, I wouldn't even wish him on the Inhumans.
What would you think if Duggan would be anounced as a writer of new Gambit solo?
What would you think if Duggan would be anounced as a writer of new Gambit solo?
Yeah I don't trust the dude after what just happened. The fact that he seems to get a kick out of people like me being upset just adds to that!
I don't think he got a "kick out of it", but as a writer of an action book, getting an emotional response from the reader, even a negative one, isnt necessarily a bad thing. It means he made you care about what he wrote. I do think what he should have done after yanking our chain, whether intentional or not, he should have been a little more forthcoming with his audience, especially a gun-shy one like Gambit fans. For instance, give the readers a sure sign that it'll be revisited with the real Gambit's involvement during an interview. Or perhaps take it a step further and insert a prologue of Gambit elsewhere so we know he at least exists within the book's scope.
The problem is though, if he was aiming to get an emotional response from us, it was a cheap and meaningless way of doing it. He knows how desperate we are to see Gambit, so he (or Marvel, whatever) promises us Gambit, advertises Gambit, uses Gambit as a means of selling the book, only for it not to be Gambit. Winding people up and uses dirty tricks to make them angry isn't very creative or meaningful. Making us sad, happy, upset or anything like that and getting an emotional response through storytelling, that's another thing.
Now maybe he actually has a Gambit story up his sleeve. Then I'll eat my words. I'll happily eat them. Seeing is believing though.
That's your fault though not his. Again, comics have always had stories that had bait and switch or imposters. The idea that Duggan can't tell a story with imposters simply because Gambit fans are dying for Gambit is just odd to me. There was nothing dirty about having RS impersonate Gambit. It fit within the story he crafted.
Are we going to say a story can never have an imposter or a bait and switch or does this rule only apply to Gambit?

Are we going to say a story can never have an imposter or a bait and switch or does this rule only apply to Gambit?
So just so I am clear, you wanted them to keep Gambit in the story but then not market it at all?
No, not at all. Because Gambit wasn't in the story. And they told us that Gambit would be in the story.
Anyway, whatever else I say is going to be repeating myself and I'm not as good as you guys at verbal swordplay. Plus we've totally derailed this thread! ;D
Question: All I want is a book with Gambit in it. Is there any hope for that?
Duggan: Yes. Yes, there is. Maybe even more than one.
To be fair, they didn't specify which fans would be upset. Because we're the punching bags of fandom lately, we assumed it would be us, but hoped otherwise... Sadly, we were wrong. Well most of us. Apparently there's a small minority that got a kick out of it.
Yes I think they said it first and then after they said it, the Romy cover and Gambit's guest appearance were revealed. Seemed pretty obvious who they were referring to although most thought it was going to be something to do with Romy. Either way, I think people had enough forewarning to be cautious.
And I don't think anyone got a kick out of it but rather some of us aren't going to be overly upset when things act according to their nature. You throw a piece a meat in front of a tiger, it's going to eat it. You give marketing overly excited and hopeful Gambit fans, they are going to use them to try and sell more books.
He might be talking about Daredevil's apprentice and the blind Inhuman guy (which looks like AoA Gambit).
Does it matter who warned you? You were warned. You chose to ignore that warning. And you can't really claim ignorance as I recall people speculating about what the warning meant (e.g death, etc.) so not sure what more you want Marvel to do.
I think I'd like a version of Gambit the Collector as the run in type role. He's taking something, perhaps the UA squad will not want him to have it - a little tension as to who ends up with item, I would want Gambit to do the right thing.
Purp: I also remember Duggan saying along the lines of "some fans aren't going to be happy" purposely not specifying what fans (which makes sense, he never gave away any details). It led to a lot of us talking about it here and CBR. It was even part of my dialogue with him via Twitter. I'll try to find it for you Purp ;)
I think at this point I just want Gambit to be a thief again. Just bring back the anti-hero. Let him run with the Avengers or X-Men or whatever but let him have his own agenda.
Wishful thinking, I know.
I don't think you can criticize people for not 'listening' to brevoort's warning. He said x-fans would be pissed not gambit fans. It's pretty well 'documented' that marvel doesn't care what gambit fan think or else he'd actually be in a book now and they wouldn't have let Carey squash him to live out his old man abuse fantasy in legacy. I did think he might get killed, because an xmen dying in an avenegers book would piss off xfans. The oops it's not really gambit wouldn't have bothered 'xfans' who weren't particularly gambit fans, and it didn't. Given past behavior, there's absolutely no reason to think brevoort was talking about gambit or a bait and switch. I think was of the running theories was that rogue would be cured of being a mutant in order to cure the t-mist problem.

Mentioned in one of Cracked.com's articles today----apparently he could solve the world's energy crisis all by himself. (The author clearly isn't a fan though; he describes Remy as a pickup artist who 'smells like Axe and beer-sweat'. XD )
http://www.cracked.com/article_23698_5-far-better-uses-superpowers-than-fighting-bad-guys.html
It's nice to see a lot of trades coming out with Gambit involved in those. Any push for the character is a good one. Even if they aren't "new" stories.
How about a mini-series requiring the top thieves. . . something like a major heist from Doom's castle? I could only come up with 4 who would fit the bill. . . Gambit, Storm, Ant-Man and Black Cat. Not a bad "New Fantastic Four" line-up. While Storm is the logical leader / honest and trust-worthy type, the other three make for a very unpredictable line-up.
Oh .... I either forgot or missed it. LOL. Glad the idea was embraced. :)
Me too)
I found it.
http://www.previewsworld.com/Home/1/1/71/979?articleID=177194
PREVIEWSworld: Can you both give us the scoop on how this project came together? How did you two communicate ideas/tweaks during production?
Ben Acker: It was the brainchild of our editor Jordan D White who pitched us the idea of a story in which Deadpool and Gambit pull a con.
So I guess it's too much to ask for an article that doesn't take shots at him. I do find it funny that apparently Channing is the only Gambit fan ever.
The author of the piece has been set straight by several commenters, which is nice.
Wait wait, so the film's for sure been canceled? :(
Wait wait, so the film's for sure been canceled? :(
Funny thing about Gambit's fan... Most of them have never read a comic book in their life. Gambit shot to stardom following his inclusion in TAS. Millions upon millions of people who are fans of Gambit questioned why he was in the first 2 or 3 X-Men movies and don't even know we were once 3 months away from shooting a solo movie. Had a co-worker out of the blue started talking about how much he loved watching him on X-Men a d thought he was getting a movie. When I told him its generally been cancelled he was very disappointed. For fun, I asked a couple other people I know and Gambit was always the first or second X-Men they named from the show. Typically second to Wolverine.
Since Rogue is flying away in the last page. It's possible that these pages are it. I guess we'll find out.
The main titles do not treat Gambit well, and have not in a very long time. If he's not pining or wall paper, he's a joke in clown pants. I think I'm ok with only these pages. Less damage done. IMO.
Neko, will you ever post the scans for Gambit's last 'appearance'? As much as I complained about it I never actually got to see the issue in print since it was sold out pretty much immediately where I live.
Which one? Did you mean the RSGambit from Uncanny A #5?
That's the one yeah, been too proud to ask for it before.
Here you go.

Which is a shame, right? Because when all is said and done, that is a fairly decent Gambit. Not stellar, not Asmus or Nicieza levels of Gambit, but decent. Sure of himself and confident, so you can see why Rogue wanted to jump him. So I mean, if Gambit actually had a proper, substantial role as a recurring character in this book, then it would probably be a great addition! Why noooooo we can't have that now can we?
Well Asmus says to petition the X-Office. Got to do our part.
But then you know...maybe I'm being being a beggar and a chooser, I want a writer to write Gambit because they WANT to. Not because they got told to. And not because they hate him and make him want to look bad (seriously got that vibe when Gambit got brought back in AoA to get trolled by Tampax and then die stupidly AGAIN), or because they need more drama with Rogue. Like, Liu and Asmus and PAD, they wanted the character and wrote him wonderfully. But hey they didn't sell millions of copies or whatever.
So Duggan knows how to write Gambit but unless he wants to write Gambit because he likes Gambit, then I don't want him to write Gambit. Does that make sense? It's like Carey. Who, by the way, I think is a rubbish writer especially now that I've read the novel he brought out recently. But anyway, rubbish or not, Carey demonstrated by his first ever writing of Gambit in X-Men #200 I think that he could do the character justice. He had flashes of it a few times, like that issue where Gambit, Rogue and Danger are going about stopping riots. You know? But I felt like he didn't like Gambit. He only wanted to use him to make Rogue and Magneto look good. And that stopped him from actually writing the at least competent Gambit that he COULD have. I don't ever want that again.
Well... Asmus wants to write Gambit and is hoping that we ask that HE gets to again. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough? Campaign the x-office to give Asmus another shot at Gambit. Hopefully with a little more freedom. A little more. Some of his ideas were a bit out there.

Tweeted Asmus and he answered
@JamesAsmus been rereading your #Gambit run, best treatment he's had in years IMO. Any chance you'll be writing him again?
Answer:
Thank you! And lobby the X-office! I'd love to do more with him in any capacity :) :smitten:
This was from last week, I believe?
Cool! Yeah I'd totally be into that! Do it people!
What would you recommend? Tweeting, email....? I'm a bit rubbish at this sort of thing.
@danielketchum So what do we fans have to do to get @JamesAsmus writing Gambit again? We miss both of them keenly! Come back to us, man :)
Done.

The Hunt for the Tomorrow Stone is the cyber comic story written by Fabian. I hope it means the story will see print. :)
Doubt it seeing as Marvel dont seem to have it either
Comics Explained did a video chronicling Apocalypse and brought up Gambit twice. However, it was so inaccurate I'm not sure where he got his information from. He claims Gambit took part in the mutant massacre alongside the Marauders and that he joined Apocalypse because he thought that the mutant race needed a leader and Apocalypse was the one that could do the job at any cost, basically... light him up if you see fit.

You guys think Greg Pak would write Gambit? I liked the way he handled him in Storm #9 and wouldn't mind him taking him on more long term. Maybe we get his Action Comics artist/co-writer, Aaron Kuder, to join him?

Warpath is on the cover for New Avengers. Writer of NA may even do not know who Warpath is)
It is just a variant. Gambit and Rogue are on it because they sell.
Would have rather seen a Gambit holding a dead Rogue variant cover.
Yeah. Because that has far more reasonable doubt and the threat of finality. Rogue is a darling and will probably never be sidelined.
Yeah Purp, you might be 100% right. The difference is, all the the variants are abstract dipictions of stuff thats actually happened... Gambit has never died in the main universe. What would be the point of teasing this? Unless we start getting variant covers of Beast, Storm, and Iceman dying, I'm going to be a bit concerned here. There's also the fact that Rogue's eyes are red/black as if she imprinted him before dying and shes obviously distraught. That's a lot of story for just a harmless click bait variant. But, again maybe Duggan & Co. are just screwing with us. ???
technically he has, X-treme X-Men 18 he was pulled away from heaven by Rogue
Would have rather seen a Gambit holding a dead Rogue variant cover.
While working for 'Bat in the Sun' productions on the set of "Super Power Beat Down", Gambit (Michael Huffman) can't catch a moment of peace without DeadPool (Dirk Ellis) turning up.

Wow there will be a Gambit vs Deadpool by Bat in the Sun!
...I knew someone was going to bring that up. But he didn't die. Not unless you count flat-lining for a couple pages, "death". Not to mention I doubt more than 2% of the reading base even knows that happened.but he was waiting at the gates of heaven for Rogue she had to pull him from the after life, he was dead, although briefly still counts...kinda

My point was comparing that to the demises of Colossus, Nightcrawler and Jean, all of which lasted years. Jean is still dead if you dont count her teenaged self. I don't think you can stand these up next to that... heck, if we want to be really picky, Gambit took a bullet to the head not too long ago.
AOA Gambit has died thrice.
Based on slow response, I guess only the hardcore want to know more about the DvG book. C'mon gang, there must be a question somewhere you could add for X-Po
How and where do we even submit questions?
Ciwil War II X-Men #2 released today. A must buy for Gambit fans.
Some moments wasn`t good enough but it was good.
Finally justice is served!
Deets please?!
He beat Fantomex. Hardly the "@$#" kicking your saying Purp IMO. But he did in fact defeat him. Bunn wrote a pretty decent scene but allowed his character to shine a bit much to have lost the fight.
Kinberg said Gambit filming will begin in Spring 2017 00:30
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRKEABr4DI8
picked up civil warII xmen 2 on the recommendations of this thread was pleasantly surprised by how well gambit came off, just coming off reading deadpool troll his movie so it was nice change of late for him to be used nicely and to win especially against fantomex!
when's spring in USA? I looked it up, is it march to june? It's good to have confirmation from someone up high that the film is still definitely going ahead
I can see why people wanted Bunn to write Gambit now but I've also never understood why people think Gambit would work with/for Magneto. Good to see Gambit get some nice panel time that doesn't end with him being the Red Skull or involve Rogue (despite the fact that I like Romy and Rogue) or involve him getting taken out. I also liked the fight because it felt like a classic Gambit move of taking the advantage when it presented itself and even if he wasn't always in control of the fight he still won it... and he got to beat Fantomex. That's a double bonus for me.

I don't think Gambit would have a huge problem working with Mags. Even when Joseph and he were in a bit of a love triangle with Rogue, there were times where he and Joseph worked fine together which I was reminded of when I read the Trial of Gambit. Gambit says something to the effect of "us scoundrels need to stick together."
So I think classic Gambit had enough confidence, swagger, and understanding that people made mistakes that he would be willing to give Mags a chance if he thought Mags was trying to turn over a new leaf or had the best interests of mutants at hear. He would obviously probably still keep an eye on him like he was planning on doing with Apocalypse but Gambit was always willing to work with shady types.
I kinda agree and disagree. About Gambit getting along or not getting along with Magneto. Gambit and Magneto have been in what I call an undeclared cold war, mostly concerning Rogue, not to mention the personal strike against him during the "trial" and initiating it in the first place, all just to distract the X-Men (which ultimately didn't distract anyone...). By all means, Gambit should kind of dislike the man, but at the same time not. Either him, or some version of him has gotten between him and her several times in at least 3 realities. But IMO what pulls that away is the fact that Gambit's self-loathing may dampen any ill feelings he could have or should have developed toward him.
Ok so I was off on an Internet tangent the other and ended up at marvel.com. Saw that gambit is supposed to be put in contest of champions in August ( which I guess is now) thought any of you gamers might be interested (if you hadn't heard that already.)
Gambit Special Moves in Marvel Contest of Champions
This video reminded me XTAS a lot :gambit:

Your the man.
Gambit's appearance was good overall until the Rogue stuff which had been his downfall in this story but in the long run was not good for characterization. IMO
Gambit knows she is an Avenger, she is not with this team who are not Avengers, why he would fall for Mystique's trick is also disappointing and showcases how the books don't pay attention to each other and nor do they care as long as whatever is needed happens in the story.
Awesome but it seems you forgot to add link :)
Also I saw a question in other forum and it seems that nobody has answer for it.
Dantay, maybe you can help.
When Nick Fury told that Gambit is one of the best H2H fighters he had ever seen?
as far as i remember the two have only ever interacted once in UXM 362 so it might have been in another book, but i think it was in a booklet, like a case files type deal
I've 100% positive I've read that before but it was a scan so I have no idea what issue or anything.
Was it not the same issue or storyline where Gambit beat Hawkey?
freaking Contest of Champions 2 #5 ? i dont think so its been years since i read it though
I do not remember Fury to be in Contest of Champions at all.
Joining the hunt for this quote, someone on Comicvine brought it up a couple years ago. See comment #28

i didnt want to start another topic but is anyone playing Marvel Heroes?
I played Marvel Heroes but got bored because was earnibg crystals too slow and wasn't able to open Gambit. So I left it.
Can I choose Gambit as first character at the beginning now?
I played Contest of Champions too. Opened 8 Cajun crystals and got no Gambit from it. So I left this game too.
yeah after the first mission you can choose a character to play as once you get to lvl 10 you unlock them and that is your character for the duration unless you buy others needless to say i chose Gambit straight away and never looked back :)
It looked like Gambit had a very brief cameo in Civil War 5. There's a page with shots of some heroes who are not in the battle listening / watching it on the news. Top box is Matt Murdoch, then under him is Gambit wrapped in a towel having just come out of a shower. I think the box below him is Black Widow, and the bottom box was Hawkeye. No spoken words or anything, just a quick glimpse, where if you blinked, you missed it.
Both books were lame for me today.
Do not buy Civil War X-Men. Nothing for Gambit fan in it.
Don't liked DvG #5 either.
It just felt like not about Deadpool or Gambit for me.
Ending is lame and now I am even more pissed off that issue 4 was about Scrambler.
Do not want that writers to write Gambit again really.
It wasn't bad it was just not exciting or interesting.
At least cover for this issue wasn't true.
I see DvG as wasted potential. It could be much much better.

Am glad to be off Marvel, I wish I could say they were disrespect Gambit, but really just are Wolv and Cyc fans at this point. After years, they still can' t advance Magick after great chances. Whatevs
not a Gambit thing per say but this is Channing Tatum on Ellen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM1WNwKi3AI weird question for the American peeps how recent is this?
Yeah. I am excited too. And story will take place in New Orleans :)
Hopefully the writer has read Marjorie Liu's X-23 and can give us some continuity nods. :)
Wonder if he will make an appearance or is just fan bait to buy a cover. LOL
I'm actually thinking about getting the old X-23 series since I've never read it if Gambit continues to not be a mainstay somewhere. Back issue bins are a wonderful thing.
Gambit sneak peek for All-New Wolverine
It seems he has the same costume as in UA
Maximilian Dude talks about his most wanted X-Men for MvC Infinite. Gambit tops his wish list at #1.
"The epitome of cool"
https://youtu.be/6e4wJDeocs8
He's gotta be in it. And if that ridiculous X-Men are DLC rumor is true then he's gotta be in that.
Ridiculous because the rumor is they won't be in the shipped version or ridiculous because it's unlikely they will be in the game at all? Or are you saying they will be and it's silly to think otherwise?
Ridiculous they won't be in the game on launch day. My bad.
Any chance of a re-post? Can't see the image for some reason.
UA #19 preview
http://www.newsarama.com/32614-red-skull-recruits-his-own-x-men-thanks-to-xaviers-brain-in-uncanny-avengers-19.html#s3
Do you think Deadpool was calling Gambit?
Call him was a pretty obvious choice to do if they are friends (Deadpool v Gambit) and Deadpool has limited time to save friends.
It wasn't Gambit it was Spiderman
Peter has any telepathy resistance?
The only thing, right, is that the wee girl (whoever that is) is all like "Tyger, get behind your desk". And then Gambit blows up the entire floor of the building!
That desk better be made of the sturdiest wood, let me tell you.
Or from adamantuim ;D
I noticed it too.
I am really interested how #17 will start. Gambit vs X-23 fight is really interesting to see but I hope that this explosion will KO her and make unconscious. At least :)
I reckon they'll fight. The whole "Cruel to be kind" thing makes me think that Gambit will go all out. If so then I hope he wins. Come on man, Gambit can beat a teenager! He beat Wolverine.
we should have a thread called Tatum hair watch, i didn't want to post this in Gambit movie as i dunno about you guys by my hopes go up when ever theres a post in there. its sort of Gambit watch related, Tatums Hair is short again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7QrAAFx8nQ&feature=iv&src_vid=FKlbX-t9GLg&annotation_id=channel%3A582f940a-0000-21e3-97cb-94eb2c08c17a
All-New Wolverine is one of the best current Marvel books. I would look into getting caught up if I were you.
Before I knew Gambit would be appearing in ANW, I caught myself up on Old Man Logan (since I prefer Logan to Laura). Guess I'll have to do some more backtracking.
I prefer Logan to Laura as well. And ANW #16 was my first issue for the series and I thought it was written well. It may not be a bad idea to go back and get the other issues. :)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QWvAAWjRWBs
Now we definetely need a thread Tatum's hair ;D
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QWvAAWjRWBs
Now we definetely need a thread Tatum's hair ;D
So in UA it seems next issue we might see Deadpool, Gambit, Spider-Man and Magneto vs Torch, Voodoo, Wasp, Quicksilver and Inhuman girl.
Whom would you like Remy to fight?
am i missing something? its the head in the box yeah? that could be Gambit but how is it Tatum looking? is there another image?I think it's only 'Tatum looking' in that floating head gambit's got a rounder face than usual.

All-New X-Men #1.MU (Preview) with Gambit :gambit:
please please dont let him be talking in the third person
please please dont let him be talking in the third person
I'm curious when this takes place though in relation to All-New Wolverine. It's weird seeing him introduce himself to Laura twice like that.
Ha, soon as I saw the preview I came straight here to say exactly that. Beat me to it!
Well, the only thing other thing that confuses me is when this takes -
Oh you've...you've covered that already as well.
Basically I have nothing to contribute :P

hmm, I don't their commissions either. Could be early art for the Wolverine issue. Guess we'll see.
Larraz drew the issues that Gambit's appeared in so far. This looks a lot like his art but is by RB Silva.
Fingers crossed he's a rotating artist on Weapon X by Pak and Gambit is the last member. That's my wish for all of this.
ohhhh, the last time we saw that hat was in UA. In that silly smoochy thing. hmmm, it could be UA but like the rest I hope for Weapon X and that the hat just plain traveled from one artist to another. Interesting.
The reason I thought Wolverine (laura) .... was because of the vial and the story has something to do with the trigger scent, but I may be wrong.
The female character in the one picture looks to be either Rachel or Jean. OR someone else entirely. But yeah, there is the OML sketch in there also, which makes me think this isn't UA. And there's a Psylocke sketch in there too. So I really don't know lol.
Hoping for Weapon X. Expecting a guest appearance somewhere.
I haven't seen Psylocke sketch.
I doubt it is Rachel or Jean. She looms more like some company worker.
I said it on CBR (I swear they lockup or delete one more post I'm done there. If I wanted to live in facist state I'd live in America... Wait a minute), if this an any clue that Gambit may be in Weapon-X, I wonder which one it will be. The clumsy push over that throws firecrackers or the guy that's taken down Super Skrulls, Wolverine, Sabertooth and took on the whole Starjammer crew solo?
Pak is writing and he did do an OK job with him during Storm's book, but people tend to lean when they have more than one toy. I have to admit. As much as I love Gambit, he hasn't been calibur of character he started out as.

forgot to add "Gladiator" to his list
The problem is that Amsus wasn't writing him as the guy that's taken down Super Skrulls, Wolverine, Sabertooth, GLADIATOR and took on the whole Starjammer crew solo.
I loved Gambit/Hawkeye story in A+X but Gambit wasn't able to stop some frog monster with 52 charged cards. Asmus never showed his true agility or h2h skills in solo either.
No he didn't. He wrote Gambit in more of swashbucking Indiana Jones' style. He didn't have many instances to let the other side out, but again, he wrote within the vein he was allowed. The Gambit I'm referring to hasnt really been seen since like 96'. Asmus wrote a Gambit that was aware of how distracted he's gotten and how he was interested in rediscovering himself. Had he been able to finish out the run like he wanted, we may have gotten into more instances of Gambit being the Ragin Cajun.
17 issues is more then enough time to find a place to show his skills.
Issues 8 and 14 were the lowest for me.
I would change 8 or 14 for an issue with Gambit vs Dozen of Ninjas or mindless action anytime.
I think you forgot he didnt know when his run was going to end. The last arc was just him tying up loose ends and it's the reason why we got like 2 or 3 filler issues in between arcs. It was all fly by the seat of his pants until he got direction. But yes, instead of that fairy land or Iron Patriot issues, I would have liked to see Gambit vs Ninjas.
DARN YOU CC! GET OUT OF MY BRAIN!

No clue... I was hoping to ignore this cash grab foolishness, but I may be sucked into buying the Gambit issues.
WAY out of left field speculation... Bunn said in his last X-Po he's nowhere near done with Deadpool, but can't speak about the future of Merc$ (because I think it's ending). If that ended and we got a Wade and Remy buddy book by Bunn I'd be ecstatic.
Again.. this is my mind running wild on me. And me letting it. :D :gambit:
I'd buy into a Deadpool/Gambit book by a writer of Bunn's talent! Heck you can make it a meta joke and continue to call it 'Deadpool V Gambit'. They'd still be working together faithfully, but routinely leave each other hanging, mostly comically. It can be deeper than just one upping each other. It wouldn't be that they don't "like" each other, but they have such a profound respect for the others ability to survive, they don't worry when the know the other is in a pinch.

All-New X-Men 17 Preview with Gambit :gambit:
Where is everybody seeing the director news? I figured CBM or Bleeding Cool would have had something but... nada.
It is a twitt news thst I found in different place
Shawn Madden @shawnxmadden
Don't have a name but had a third source tell me a certain project has found a new director.
http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=522817&page=7
Ah okay, thank you!
Super hero movies like this one are kinda risky when looking for a director. Because the movie can either be a passion project and the director will take it seriously and it'll be great, or they'll just be looking to cash in on a super hero film and it'll be poopy.
Only way for a passion project to work is to have a producer, star and director on the same page. Typically one person has two of the aforementioned titles which cuts down on the interference, but it's not looking like this. Channing is a producer but not the executive producer. He's also not made any mention of it in almost a year now? No bueno.
It is not like anyone asked him and he refused to answer.
I think a movie COULD be made with out Tatum. However, the likelihood in my eyes for that to happen would be a big, fat, whopping zero percent if Tatum were to bow out of it.
Can't argue about the cover, it's stunning. What's that story arc that had Gambit leading a team with Jean Grey, Beast, Cable and somebody else? That was Uncanny X-Men, no? That had the same thing with Gambit holding cards of his team mates. And also Uncanny X-Men 350, where he's holding the cards in front of his face. It's like a mix of those two covers.
So this is that instagram art we've been seeing?
Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but can we be done with guest appearances? Don't get me wrong I'm grateful, I'd rather guest appearances over limbo. But it would be nice for him to just be on a team again.
And what do you guys think, Gambit doing the flip-flop thing that Marvel loves with his character and being the bad guy in this arc?
Love the cover, don't trust GUUUUUGGENHEIIIIIIIIIIM or editorial. As long as he's not the heel of the story... Or the idiot, or the wimp or whatever nonsense trope they've forced on him since 2004.
If you read preview for issue then there is nothing more inside of All New Wolverine #17 for a Gambit fan.

How the #_@$ does the Captain America fight even rank on this list, much less #2?!
i agree but its all from their opinion, i know i hate it for the sheer oneside..ed....ness of the whole thing, but their take is interesting
How the @#@$ is Gambit getting uncharacteristically knocked the @#$@ out by someone running directly at him charming exactly? To anyone? They recognize the fact that he's taken on a man in Wolverine that has beaten Captain America to within an inch of his life, and freakin' Gladiator, our closest comparison to Superman (before we got Sentry and Hyperion) but say Gambit's arrogance or overconfidence got the best of him which led to his defeat? I can count on one hand with three fingers to spare where I can remember him being overconfident in battle, it's hardly a character trait worth highlighting when trying to justify that Avengers fluff piece of a story. Nick Fury says he's one of the best hand to hand fighters he's ever seen, Iron Man's computers can't keep him targeted, he catches Spiderman off guard (HIS POWER IS TO NOT LET YOU CATCH HIM OFF GUARD!) while fighting him hand to hand, and fights Daredevil and Blade to draws; but Captain America can fight him while not even paying attention to him?
Exactly!!! We need freaking rematch!
so a non Gambit fan writer can have him knocked out twice as quick, no more vs it usually its bad unless its Liu , even FantomX had to get his revenge in XMCW2

so a non Gambit fan writer can have him knocked out twice as quick...
I think the point they were making is that it illustrates all the things that make Gambit great as well as his flaws. Here he is going up against the iconic Captain America and he doesn't flinch. He's the same cocky dude with the swagger that says to him he can take down the leader of the Avengers. At the same time that cockiness and swagger is what ultimately leads to his defeat as he doesn't quite get the charge right to completely knock out Cap.
From an objective viewpoint, I can see their point and actually agree with it for the most part. It's always bothered me a bit that Gambit seemingly knows the exact durability of his opponents to know that using 52 cards on Gladiator is going to merely knock him out rather than kill him outright. No matter how skilled someone else, they can't really know the full limits of an unknown opponent. So without knowing exactly how durable Cap is, it's entirely possible for him to get the charge wrong particularly if we assume that Gambit is going to err on the side of caution as he generally doesn't want to kill anyone.
Why I ultimately still hate this scene is how dismissive Cap is of Gambit. I think at one point he's on the phone shooting the sh*t with Iron Man and he acts like Gambit is no real threat to him. Considering Gambit could easily have gotten the charge wrong by putting too much in it, I think that attitude from Cap makes no sense as Cap could have easily been killed.
So I agree with the author's larger point but I think it ignores the fact that the scene is poorly executed.
With that said, we all know he also wasn't trying to kill Cap... at least, I don't think so, but I'm not sure how you can turn someone's shirt into a bomb and not expect to kill them (comic book logic). I'm not against him losing. It makes sense, and to be honest, the fight could have gone either way. However, I believe it would have made more sense for Gambit, who's only trying to slow Captain America down, to retreat once he detonated his clothes. Him getting knocked out like some chump was just jarring. Going a little further, Captain America has been around so long, he is an icon, but up until that point he was never some invincible force. That was amped up thanks to Marvel's success with the Avenger's movie. I just sucks the X-Men got the short end of the stick. Just like they are with the Inhumans (this crossover seems a bit better written). The X-Men seem to be the stepping stones for the company.
I like it with the big explosions, about time that Gambit gets shown to be really powerful!
Shame about the last issue with him not really being in it though. I didn't bother picking it up.
So, Gambit's gonna fight beardy man then I guess? Hope it's a good one and he doesn't get his butt handed to him. It looks like this guy likes Gambit so hopefully he'll give him a decent showing when it comes down to fisticuffs.
I did buy the issue All New Wolverine 17. I may do scans of later interior art if you folks want it. Let me know.
It was an alright issue - I thought the relationship between Remy and Laura was handled well. Overall, I feel like the trigger scent thing is bleh. It's like a rehash of Liu's run with it - maybe there will be a conclusion or something. But with Jean's help it may not be used again anyway. *shrug*
its still better than his legacy appearances
its still better than his legacy appearancesThat's a low bar to clear, the only purpose of those appearances was to say look gambit's a loser, please like my creepy, sexist ship! ::) But I might check this one out, if I get one issue of an arc, I usually get the rest of the arc.
Though, if it is being posted on instagram, it's probably not the highlight of the fight. So, there is hope!
I won't get to my LCS until later this week... if it's not up by then, I'll post a scan
I want Gambit to be introduced in Gambit movie. Won't be too excited to see his first appearence in X-23.
They decided to introduce him in solo because Tatum wanted to explain who Gambit is at first. And wanted to do it in solo.
Technically, Gambit has already been introduced. :P
As was Deadpool! lol. Neither in their own movie.
Funny enough, I thought "Wade Wilson" and "Remy/Gambit" were two of the more enjoyable parts of that disasterpiece.
The chances of getting a Gambit solo actually improved with the success of Logan. Well, at least critical success. More opportunities, less pressure to succeed because they will have a better road map. I just hope they don't try to replicate what's been done and let whomever they find to craft their own movie.
I hope to get that cover .....It may be hard to get .... Anyway ... looking forward to this issue.
I'm not... this screams "I'm Gambit, and I cant take care of myself" The villain disregarding Gambit's card and the picture of him being blown back is starting to make more sense. You'd think someone that writes on Arrow would appreciate a more visceral character like Gambit, seeing as he doesn't have one on his current cast. I disqualify Nightcrawler because of his personality and Wolverine due to him being ... old.
You need to calm down, mang. Those are two different books and writers you're combining into one "this solicit means this writer thinks Gambit sucks" meltdown. Tranquilo.
Villain who caught Gambit's card is from previews for All New Wolverine 18.
Gambit already did huge explosions in it.
And he definetely wasn't trying to blow soldiers into pices. And Gambit was throwing it into them
Thing is.. I'm not unrealistic. I'm not asking for Gambit to save the day or be some sort of symbol of awesomeness. But I am requesting a degree competence that is comparable to the people around him. Gambit is not a screw-up that needs to be saved every time we see him... I'm just tired of him being portrayed as some kind of loser, third-rate character. This guy along with a handful of others helped keep Marvel afloat during his first decade of existence. Just sucks that these old-guard writers continue to dump on him just because theyd rather focus on other characters. I'd rather him stay in limbo than keep popping up just to make others look better. There is an entire generation of readers that have seen Gambit be what we know him to be.
I'll be cautiously optimistic though because what else can we do at this point?
Thanks for the scan!
Sure thing! For those who don't read OML, which seems like mostly everyone, the next arc will be Logan basically traveling through his past. I'm REALLY hoping when the time comes in the point of Logan's past, we'll see him interact with Gambit. I think OML and Gambit together would be so much fun and hysterical because YOU KNOW Remy would rag on him for being so much older. I know, I know, it's just another guest appearance and a wish and we haven't done real well with those recently.. but I'd still enjoy it.
Nice to hear they plan on making Gambit a franchise, along with New Mutants and Deadpool. Time for Fox to show just how much gold they struck when they bought the movie rights from Marvel.
Me too. Really hope thst they will be abe to make that sexy heist thriller feeling that they promised.
“Yeah, it is going to happen, and it’s just a question…," Kinberg began, pausing to choose his next words carefully.
"Channing is—in the best possible way—as committed and as rigorous about getting the character right as Ryan was with Deadpool and as Hugh was with Logan on this movie, and so it’s been about finding a filmmaker and someone who can capture that voice and hand it off to Channing. But he’s been a really critical part of the process, and we’re hoping that the movie—probably given his schedule—will be ready to go this year and probably shoot next year.”

They let Deadpool be Deadpool and and Wolverine be Wolverine, both with directors and stars that wanted to make a movie that displayed the character, and it turned out great in both instances. Gambit is a playboy ladies man that supposedly has a list of past flings that far surpasses all. He blows things up by touching them, is as agile as anyone and grew up around magic, ancient beings, and deadly assassins and eventually becomes a X-Man. The movie can be an absolute joyride. It can also be the first mainstream comic book movie that goes the full action-thriller route with enough sexual content that'll make Basic Instinct blush...
That's a complete exaggeration on my part, but it can really be something the X-Men haven't seen in the same vein that Deadpool and Logan were able to be.
If it's an origin story, there is probably plenty of violence in clashing with the Assassin's Guild and if he runs into Sabretooth and the Marauders. I suppose you can have Candra in his origin and maybe Genevieve depending on how far it progresses but I would say his ladies man status was post Bella not before as I would think it should be Bella dying that causes him to give up on love and become the ladies man we know and love.
So personally I would like to see a progression in the movies as it's the harsh and tragic upbringing that makes the carefree ladies man less superficial as you realize that's part of his coping mechanism. I think you lose some of the depth of the character if you don't show that if this is meant to be an origin story.
I kind of hope they do the first movie (provided it becomes a franchise), like Deadpool, in the sense that it's not a straight up chronological origin story. I hope they bounce around a little bit. Like maybe show Remy's involvement with the TG and then flash back to when he was a baby for a minute or flash back to when he was younger and the reason behind why he throws cards (I love that).
Introduce Sabretooth as the main villain, again hoping it'll be Schreiber because he would definitely bring some more star power to the film, which can't hurt. Then as the films transition from one to the other, we get reintroduced to Sinister and learn how fascinated he is with Remy's DNA. I doubt we'll ever get any of the New Son stuff, just like I doubt we'll ever see Deadpool and the Mithras story adapted. But there's more than enough story to make it a trilogy. And even if they decide not to go that way, I wouldn't be upset with getting a solo film and then have him added to the cast of the main x-films or the x-force films.
Who am I kidding? I'm ready for anything at this point.
Kind of keeping my fingers crossed that he has a falling out with Kitty or something.. drawing from that one IG post from Silva where she looks mad at him.. and then similarly to how Polaris recruited him for X-Factor, Emma Frost recruits him for Uncanny X-Men. Or whatever they want to call it.
I like idea with flashbacks. It worked great for Deadpool and was easy to move fast from comdey to action or drama moments.
I am not a big fan of Emma, really. And I don`t want her to lead team. She looks crazy
And that's fair... but I think if it works out the way I hope... she'll be forming a team because she knows she needs to round up a group of seasoned veterans to continue do the work she feels necessary, while also knowing the people she recruits can keep her in check. Psylocke and Polaris can do that. So can Havok (the only one she's been open with) and Gambit is a much better people person than a lot give him credit for.
RessurXion is trying to stay away from terrigen plot as much as possible.
Emma`s team will be reminding the bad times.
I like idea with flashbacks. It worked great for Deadpool and was easy to move fast from comdey to action or drama moments.I like the flashback idea. There's been enough 'origin' stories and he doesn't really need one, being a mutant and all.
What if they make Sabretooth a recurring character? But that would assume that it gets more than one movie. The first movie and can be an origin movie, revolving around NOLA but by the final act of the movie is in Paris (or at least an equivalent, perhaps NY instead). The Genevieve story might be too convoluted if Belle is going to be present as an interest as well, so I guess the story can be tweaked. Perhaps Bella can accompany him on the heist (by choice or not), gets caught up and takes Genevieve's place as Sabretooth's captive. Now the question is, "who dies?" we follow the story and have Gambit save his brother or Belle? Being the cause or even involved in her death/murder would be enough to get him banished from NOLA imo, and even motivate a "death sentence" for him enough to be pursued by the Assassin's guild or at least a pissed off family member or two...
Assuming it gets a second movie, we could pick there, Gambit on the road alone and full brooding mode taking whatever job comes his way, powers flipping out all the way. He ends up taking up jobs he shouldn't and comes across a guy (Sinister) that can help him solve his issue and in return wants a errand run which does or doesnt lead to the Morlock Massacre and involves the Marauders or just Sabretooth. The final act would be him trying to stop what he initiated single handedly, which can undoubtedly very bloody and violent.
Interesting... In either of our scenarios, the question is; "is the general audience willing to see the protagonist of a major movie not just fail, but royally faceplate and not simply lose but possibly nearly gutted?"
We know that Bella will be main love interest in it.
Genevieve story is my favourite Gambit story ever but I don`t want Genevieve/Bella in one movie. it will make Genevieve death not important at all.
Is Bella 1000% going to be the love interest in the (first) movie? Like I agree she should be, but is that confirmed? I feel like the script has gone through the ringer since the last time we may have heard anything about it
I don't know if you have enough material there for both of them to be standalone movies. You could probably have an entire movie focused on New Orleans and the Guilds but I think the Genevieve story probably needs to be part of some larger story. It's not a love story but essentially a story of a con man getting someone to fall in love with him in order to steal from her all ending in her death. We don't care all that much in the comics because we barely knew Genevieve and she is simply a plot device to move Gambit's character along but in a movie devoted to this story where the character of Genevieve gets a lot of screen time, I think it would turn off audiences.
If Gambit will be in future then he has no place in past movies with X kids. I doubt that Fox will dol past and future X-Men teams at the same time
I afraid we will see Gambit with X team only in his solo. Or maybe he will be with X-Force
Well not sure the X-men franchise will stay in the past or even exist in their current form. Seems like Deadpool, X-force, and New Mutants will all be in the present so I doubt they leave the X-men in the past.
Gambit will not be apart of New Mutants (pretty sure the line up has already been revealed) or X-Force, and i doubt he will be part of the X-Men Nove thingy either as it will more than likely take place in the 90s, but Tatum is A-List word when he first got the gig was that after Jackman left they were going to build the franchise around him
it doesnt matter, because whoever it is i will call them Bella, when my friend who i drag along for the hundredth time to watch this film goes hey is that Rogue (an it very may well be) i will say "no you filthy pessent, that is Belladonna Boudreaux his wife"
I would think that the most logical step would be that within the next 2 movies (for each franchise) or so New Mutants, X-men, and X-force will all exist within the same time period. In that scenario Reynolds can be the guy they build X-force around and Tatum can play the Wolverine role for the X-men team but given the run rate of the movies that's something like 5 years away or so in Tatum's case.
Hmm, I think I prefer his solo movies to not deal with any of the X-men team stuff. Let that be handled in the team films. His solo should be about his origins or after he joins the X-men and if he still has solo movies then they should be about his time away from the X-men thieving.
You also have to consider the timing of when all these movies are coming out. Right now we are looking at 2019 for the first Gambit film so most likely not until 2021 for a second Gambit film. I know we didn't find out in the comics about his role in the MM until after he joined the team but my concern in waiting in the live films is that the gap between movies is so large that you'd literally be waiting like 7-10 years from now before we got to the the Mutant Massacre if it wasn't covered early in the main X-men films and/or a Gambit film.
So I think they are two realistic avenues for the Mutant Massacre. The first would be the Mutant Massacre should be handled in the next X-men film told from the perspective of the X-men. That movie should drop in 2018 or 2019 so right before or right after the first Gambit movie. In that movie, the only villains we ever see are Sinister and the Marauders with perhaps an after credits scene teasing Storm bringing Gambit to the X-Mansion. If this happens before the first Gambit film then you could have the Gambit film be Gambit recounting the story of his life to the X-men after being introduced to them via Storm. Then you would probably have an X-men film in like 2020 or 2021 where Gambit is on a full member of the team as well as the second Gambit film where his relationship with Sinister and the Marauders and his role in the Mutant Massacre is revealed. Perhaps after the climatic battle with the Marauders, Gambit encounters an amnesiac Storm which is how he ends up joining the X-men and leaves the audience knowing that both the X-men and Gambit were involved in the MM but without the Gambit and the X-men knowing about each other's involvement.
The other option IMO would be leaving the MM out of Gambit solo films but instead have the Mutant Massacre as part of a main X-men film but told from two different perspectives ie form the perspective of the X-men and from perspective of Gambit. In this scenario then the 2nd Gambit film could be about his meeting Storm and their adventures together prior to him joining the X-men with again neither side aware of each other's role.
In the end, my point is I think you need to tackle it earlier because the longer you wait, the less likely it gets tackled at all just due to the fickle nature of movie making and the long time periods involved. Hoping for it to be covered in like the 3rd Gambit movie or some the X-men movie in like 2024 is a bit wishful thinking IMO.
What if they do go ahead with 2nd movie ending with the massacre, but Gambit, somewhat succeeding, but not really, is dying of his wounds and is rescued by the X-Men? Either after the fight, or at the last minute saving him from a deathblow. Kind of end the movie there as a crazy cliffhanger moment we wouldnt have to wait 2 years to see continued (hopefully they'd either begin or already start filming the team movie at that point). It could cut right after they save him or with him waking up in the X-Mansion (Like Wolverine in DoFP) with let's say, whoever's playing Rogue standing over him (que insane theater cheering) or Wolverine, Beast etc. Either way, they'd have no way of knowing his involvement and not being able to read his mind, it wouldnt be revealed he's the one that brought the Marauders to the tunnels. Something that can play as a subplot in an X-Men team film, possibly with Sinister as the "big bad". I think this would work about as good the Wolverine/Striker conflict in X2, especially if Fox moves forward with throwing all their support behind Tatum as the centerpiece like they wanted before Deadpool. The X-Men save Gambit, and they bond with him as they nurse him back to health, fight alongside him, just to discover he's responsible for the very mess they rescued him from, not to mention dozens of mutant deaths and guilty of lying because he'd have to come up with some sort of story that shines a positive light as to why he was there in the first place.
Got answered question in X-Po with editors
http://www.cbr.com/x-position-resurrxion-x-editors-part-1/
And here’s a question from Purplevit about everyone’s favorite Ragin’ Cajun…
Gambit wasn’t a part of any ongoing for years and appeared only as guest star. Can we expect Gambit to join any teams in 2017?
Robinson: I think you’re gonna wanna see the cover to “X-Men Gold” #4, Purp…
Paniccia: And there’s some place else he could be popping in the summer. Shhhhh.
Not your age, trust me. I'm the old person here. LOL I agree with you, writers have forgotten .... Gambit just has not been written well since Asmus. It takes a writer with interest and more than just his name (PAD) - he liked the idea of Gambit ... until he screwed up with this story telling.
I don't mind slow burn story telling either, but the problem is it's damn near impossible for a writer to write a slow burn these days, because before they know it, they have to wrap up their story before the upcoming event which will either result in the relaunch or cancellation of the book. Not defending PAD. He should have realized he wasn't going to have 150+ issues on the new volume of X-Factor.
Agreed. And while I enjoyed the character style story telling, there wasn't enough action for the most part or very poorly ended stuff or just too convenient type endings. E.g. Georgia's parents thing. He would never have been allowed that long of a run with those sales. The volume that ended prior to All New had poor sales as well.
Why does every website neeed to be a slideshow now? So effing annoying.

I do like their idea of Sinister and Gambit as mentor and unwilling protege. It would be kind of cool if they built a Gambit franchise around Sinister being his long term antagonist as it would give it something a lot of the other X-men films don't have. I suppose you could say Charles vs Magneto but Magneto flirts with being good too much whereas this would be more of a pure good vs evil with the evil continually pushing Gambit into bad decisions.

No kidding!!! Have the time, as soon as I see it and have to go through click bait type settings to see the rest or tell it .. give me the whole story, I'm too tired to bother it anymore. Enough is enough with this stuff. :)

I'm still just surprised it isn't Brett White that wrote it.
I think they have to be careful not to put in too many characters and relationships in one film. There is so much material to work with that it's hard to lose sight and make it a mess. I'd go for the Sinister story with flashbacks of his history with his family and the guilds. And that leading into a new story in a sequel, tying in with the X-Men.

I think it is Gambit on right down corner.
https://mobile.twitter.com/Marvel/status/838876353743175680/photo/1
It seems Cable on right up, Psylocke with sword on right down, Deadpool on right up,
some female character on right middle and Gambit on right down.
I will say similar, Psylocke on left with katana, Gambit on right with staff, Big Gun Guy Cable or Bishop on top left, somebody can be in the middle and on top left hope that it is Deadpool not Fantomex. That is my paint work that describes my thoughts:
Lol... No fantomex pls. That made me chuckle. Fantomex being in this over Wade would make me very sad.
But I think it's likely, at the same time it very much is a Deadpool pose. Him just waving a gun in the air makes sense for him lol... But it looks like shoulder pads, possibly a coat. The shadow on the bottom left has a point on it... To not a sword.
I think it's likely too and the no sword handles behind his head makes me worried. And the shoulder pads do seem weird.
Spas found it. It seems Atgerm is making cover with Gambit and Rogue
&source=54
Rogue looks so much better without the 'boobjob' boobs. ;D
That's still has to be Gambit's outline... but I'm not excited at the idea of him being slipped underneath Rogue like that
oof, bad art on the cover. LOL
Is this a mini ... an ongoing?
its Wolverines book not Gambit he had a good showing, he wasnt knocked out or taken down, he looked powerful too more so than in any x books the past few years, he blows a hole in the side of an air ship with a tin of beans , its a good read a good finale to the arc and more importantly a well written competent Gambit, he shows up saves Laura , then stands by his friend and helps her, whats not to like
True ... and its not an awful line either. I actually like several of the team members.
Gambit (of course)
Psylocke
Bishop
Archangel
OML (would prefer the one I like the best - but .... on the other hand) - the jokes Gambit may make could be hilarious.
That link isn't working Dantay. :)
Between the potential Psylocke/Archangel/Fantomex and Rogue/Mystique/Gambit melodrama, this book could be an absolute disaster.
This would have been much better if Weapon X and this book were merged into one with the cast being Old Man Logan, Psylocke, Gambit, Domino, Bishop, Archangel and Lady Deathstrike.
He's also saying that he's not really sticking to continuity. Oh dear.
And that this is a 'cast' not a team. I guess they'll have separate stories and stuff, kind of like what Game of Thrones does.
Soule told book won't doubleship

What does that mean? "Not really sticking to continuity?" It's a comic book using preexisting comic book characters.
@CharlesSoule The whole cast has super complex pasts. Not ignoring the history, but I am specifically writing this so you DON'T HAVE TO KNOW IT TO ENJOY.
@CharlesSoule
My version of this: "Continuity is a tool, not a rule."
What does that mean? "Not really sticking to continuity?" It's a comic book using preexisting comic book characters.
And Soule is the one that created that Gambit clone of a sidekick for Daredevil?! Now he's writing a book with yet another Gambit clone in it and Gambit? I was really starting to look forward to this. All that hope about this meaning he wasn't going to be foil in Gold seems to be all for not. If he may still turn out to be a cad.
lets try and be positive people were forgetting the most important thing here and thats Gambit is in an X Book maybe even two, the continuety thing might mean its not tied down by whats happening in the other x-books like it wont be at the mercy of tie ins and what not

It's hard to tell, because yes if it's a guest appearance it usually says "guess starring" somewhere, but they also usually make a song and dance about any new members joining the team. It's weird. No way to figure it out right now though. So far I'm still getting the feeling that he's only in one arc, but I guess we won't know until we get it in our hands.
On a side note, were they not building up to Gambit reappearing in Uncanny Avengers? Whatever happened to that? More lead up to nothing?

Nothing happened. He didn't appear again, complete waste of energy.
Out... Of... My... Brain. >:(
???...or am I in yours?
Sorry, Legion makes me question everything.
The solicit for Gold #6 says a member of the team may die. I don't want to get my/anybody's hopes up for Gambit appearing after this arc, but maybe he replaces the the team member that dies if that happens?
If a team member does indeed die, who do you think it would be? Not Kitty as she's the new face of the X-Men/mutants. Gambit and Old Man Logan are safe in Astonishing. Kurt died not that long ago so it might be too soon again. I don't think it would be Rachel since it would be pointless to bring back a character, redesign her and give her a new codename just to kill her off in two months. That leaves Storm and Colossus. Poor Piotr would be my guess. Gotta have some drama for the new leader of the X-Men by killing off one of the most important people to her.
All they are solicated for next Secret Empire arc.
Noone would die. Maybe some student
no one will die its a marketing ploy like nothing will ever be the same again and we get the exact same sh1t
You guys are boring. It's a hypothetical question to bring some life to the forum since it's completely dead at times. I'm not looking for reality. :P
;D Kill Rachel Grey then. I have zero interest in her
Article on CBR:
http://www.cbr.com/gambit-cyclops-mister-sinister-chris-claremont-clone/?utm_source=CBR-TW&utm_medium=Social-Distribution&utm_campaign=CBR-TW&view=list
Gambit was never intended to be a clone of Cyke. LOL
The rest of the article is odd.
So... A satellite book. A collection of short stories with a revolving cast, no true focus, that will probably have no bearing on the outside world and is only slightly steeped in continuity. This could be interesting or extremely pretentious.
I can see why telling us any information could be... precocious. I don't think there will any real arcs but a single story being told over an unforseen measure of time. A synopsis of the book would be confusing and probably have 3 to 4 plot points. This could be good or a huge cluster @#_$ of characters acting unlike themselves for the sake of a story.
Trying to summarize the book would be like giving someone of synopsis of Game of Thrones or 91210. There are like 7 to 10 characters all doing different things but heading in the same direction, more or less. Some stories matter more than others but it's all relevant.
;D
This treasure is hiden really good:)
Pic with Kitty at the table. Photo with silhouettes on the right of her.
CBR has been making a lot of lists lately. I guess any thing that's helpful.
they are so f ing annoying, i hate CBR
I had a feeling it would only be a guest appearance. Ah well, I'll get the issues he's in and be done with it. :)
It would be pretty funny for Gambit to show up in Daredevil.. with everything that happened before it launched. Us thinking that his sidekick was Gambit and whatnot. BUT... having read Soule's DD from the start... Gambit would be awesome in that book. Especially if drawn by Garney.
$5?!
They are all 32 pges. 12 for adds, 20 for content. When I started this hobby, there were a lot more pages for content and far less for ads.
From Cheung instagram sketch with Gambit.
So he will appear in issue 1.
Also fanto on background. Do you think they fight??hl=ru
Oh good grief, he is wearing a scarf too. LOL
Reminded me his X-Men revolution costume.
Where is trenchcoat??:(
LOL I was about to say the same thing. Funny he put this up right after I commented "I hope Gambit looks better in the book".
http://www.cbr.com/the-shadow-king-returns-as-x-mens-resurrxion-races-on/
so Astonishing will be dealing with Shadow King, and in Gold The series second three-part arc will be called “Techno Superior” and be drawn by drawn by RB Silva. “Poor Gambit gets involved in this heist…and the heist goes very much awry,” said Guggenheim. “Two technologies that should not end up together end up together. You’ll see Sentinel inspired Artificial Intelligence combined with nanotechnology.” hmmm maybe Nil will be involved?
Thinking too deep Purp ... too deep. 20 pages of content and most for Gambit is to show how he's in over his head yet again. I'm skeptical. :)
It would be cool if Nil would appear.
That's makes more sense, Nil screwing up, Gambit tries to fix it and then turns to his friends once he sees he needs help. Or Fantomex, the more novice thief screws up, Gambit being the head of the guild is told of it, decides to get involved and then seeks the X-Men out for help. Yeah both of these make more sense than Gambit just screwing up... Again.Fantomex isnt going to be part of Gold though i hope
Fantomex isnt going to be part of Gold though i hope
LOL Facon/Cap is twice on this poster ;D
I actually like it, it's dark. And heck I'll take skeleton Gambit front and centre!
See the internal art, it's so small I can't make out exactly who is sitting there. Is it Gambit and Rogue behind OML and Fanto? Who is the other guy?
Well at least we know Gambit is in the second issue. Such a big team, there are going to be characters sidelined.
Still wondering if there are any worthwhile comics to read.in General?

Do you think Rogue has Gambit eyes on this sketch for Astonishing?
It's possible ... not quite sure, hard to tell being black and white sketch. Of course, if it is, what did she need his powers for? ;)
No, it is artist's eye style. But I am bored of Rogue, she is in nearly every Astonishing art as if UA isn't enough. Deadpool and Rogue is overexposed couple of Marvel. They are soo lonely :(
One ticket for the Bored of Rogue train please.
Plus if she DOES have Gambit's power, even for one issue, I'll be done with this book before it even starts! It's been done. She's used his powers, many times. It's like, get your own powers, Rogue!
These flying robot eyes reminded me white flying eyes that were shooting lasers from Gambit #5 by Nicieza where Gambit was fighting X-cutioner.
X-cutioner is the villain for Gold next arc so interesting if it is really connected in some way.
Yeah, I remember that. He owned those things. One of the more dynamic issues of the run.
So that makes it canon that he's back to hanging around the school again? Great...
Toss a curveball into the mix and have Gambit hook up with Psylocke. A 5-character soap-opera.
I don't normally ship characters.. but I do support that one.

Nah, he doesn't need any of that BS. Especially if Fantomex is involved.

Messing with you. I'm looking forward to Astonishing.. it seems like it's going to be a little disconnected from the rest of ResurrXion, which I'm cool with, because the rest of it is pretty bland so far.
Gambit who is a guest star in this book had more panel time then most team except Kitty and Logan in 6 issues.
I wish Gambit would stay with Gold team.
Interesting if his appearence will make some affect on team future and Storm. She kissed him

Not sure why its printing so small but I fixed it Purp. I think if that keeps happening open a doc and paste, adjust the size and then copy and paste.
Anyway - sounds interesting. Guess we'll see. :)

It looks pretty cool. Honestly, I can't wait for a real official one with Channing Tatum in full costume
Me too! Intersting how they will make his eyes.
Also I think we will see headsock at least for boss battle.
I think we might see the headsock as well at some point. Mainly because Tatum has mentioned it before in an interview already.
Personally, I think they could release a close up shot of his eyes with black sclera, red iris's, and black pupils and maybe a piece of hair hanging in front as an early teaser shot and people would flip and start getting excited. Just my opinion.
If they had used a narration box to explain she was still under the effect of her powers (absorbing Gambit's self hatred), it may have been a lighter hit.
The art showing Rogue with red/black eyes would have helped, agreed. Speech mannerisms would have helped as well.
She showed no signs what so ever. That was the sting.
He's actually a 90s guy. Got into comics with the X-Men. I checked his Twitter when he did the poll for this and he seemed pretty into Gambit.
I think the condescending stuff comes from him being anti-Fox. He gets hyped about DC stuff but he's kinda unhype about Marvel too (except for the Marquis of Death video).
He gets excited over even the new Marvel books and has some sjw tendencies (the stuff that's killing Marvel?).
I see a topic or new thread .... LOL
Ew don't tell me we have one of those gross Redpill types here!

Surely, you meant to say "bluepill". Those that wish to stay in their safe cocoons of illusion and security.
I thought the whole pill thing was a Matrix reference too but from how Sheba responded I must not understand.
Hey Neko, did Uncanny X-Men #266 come out the 20th? Seems like that should be the date no?
Neko, is there a way to block other users?
It looked like the Deadpool vs. Marvel issue that came out today featured the X-Men. Anyone pick it up? Just curious if Gambit made that issue.
Oh, I see... random X-Men sitting around a table in the X-Mansion playing cards (X-Men Gold #10) and they don't bother to even use Gambit as background art. Oh, OK @#$# you too, Guggenheim, X-Office, Marvel, and whatever editor(s) involved. Mostly joking, but dang.
Not a sighting but something of mini feature on CBR addressing the time Gambit came back after Blood of Apocalypse
http://www.cbr.com/gambit-hint-impostor-turned-evil/ (http://www.cbr.com/gambit-hint-impostor-turned-evil/)
tried to add a picture but didnt work:

Get real. He's talking about Rogue.
Astonishing ending with issue 12, will have no impact on the new book. It also doesn't meant Gambit will be the one in the new book. Its 50/50 at this point in time, and I think it will be Rogue. However, I would be pleasantly surprised if it was Gambit. I just don't think it will be. ;)
Not to be argumentative, but where was it stated that Astonishing would lead into anything. It's literally an island with a story not connected to anything. Was there some interview I missed? Not doubting you, I just don't see how this current story in Astonishing would tie into anything. :D
Soule tweeted that it could lead into something bigger. I'll try to find it.
I think he insinuated that it could go on longer if it sold well. Which means it doesn't have a clear path outside of 12. I'm not happy about that.
I mean c'mon, 4/5 of the cast is in limbo outside of this book.
How would that make sense though, didn't that team get disbanded at the end of the run? I don't know how it ended I gave up on it.
If it were PAD having another go at it and actually, y'know, staying committed this time, I'd be excited but that's a pretty vague bit of info to speculate on, as far as I'm concerned.
Okay, I'll take your word for it but .... Marvel hasn't done crap with Gambit in a very long time. It's going to take more than a cover and nice words to get me in a shop again. ;)
However, I adore your enthusiasm.
If we're speculating, I would also love a team again of Gambit, QS and Polaris.
I would also add Bishop, X-23 and can`t choose between Psylocke/Sage/Frenzy.
We were robbed of Gambit and Polaris getting it on, I tell ya!
I would also add Bishop, X-23 and can`t choose between Psylocke/Sage/Frenzy.
Cc found a pic that Anka is drawing Gambit in his X-Factor iniform. He is doing R&G covers but what if it is cover for X-Factor return?
New team book with Gambit or Rogue are coming :)
so Jean Grey is getting her own team in X-Men Red https://www.newsarama.com/37291-x-men-red.html (https://www.newsarama.com/37291-x-men-red.html)

Love the headpiece, hope its leather in the movie.
Really? The beanie is back? Good grief. What a goofy thing to put on him. I don't understand.

Gambit was accidentally confirmed for X-Men RED.
https://news.marvel.com/comics/81448/x-men-red-code-crimson/ (https://news.marvel.com/comics/81448/x-men-red-code-crimson/)
Gambit was accidentally confirmed for X-Men RED.
I’m excited to see what it looks like, but I feel like it’ll be a nineties throwback and that’ll be disappointing.
Also, a little off topic, but I can’t wait for the book to launch and then Kurt has his Red team costume in Gold while everyone else in that book wears their outdated costumes.
Nightcrawler doing double duty, a brand new character, Namor and two Wolverine clones... I don't get this roster. This book better be good.
I think a roster that features the real Jean, Laura, Namor, Kurt, and Remy is more that formidable and I can't wait to read it. And then the interactions with Gabby? Can't wait for those.
It's not the characters themselves that irk me it's the assemble braced against how many known and better acquainted characters there are that could have been paired with Jean opposed to this. I'm not planning to snub the book but c'mon. This was a hard sell for me if they didn't announce Gambit. If they would have made this a modified version of the gold team she was on in the 90s or even X-factor in the 80s, I think the book would have a lot more hype around it.
Marvel is trying something new to get fans on board but I don't think they understood it's not the needing something new more than something different and less seen than seen than the Wolverine(s) O5, Rachel, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler and Kitty.
I am excited for Gambit in RED and that he is reunited with X-23.
Will see what Taylor has planned for Cajun.
I would not be opposed to him and Jean getting it on either. Haha
Oh man, the expressions on Wolvie's and Cyke's (whenever he gets resurrected) faces when they find out would be worth it alone haha
What won’t be worth it will be the Cyclops and Wolverine fans wishing for Gambit’s death and potentially bullying us in the event that that does happen.

i really dont like his new costume with all the belt straps, reminds me of Mutant X
Did you listen to yourself before you posted this? :o
Looks good toi me... unless you're an art critque
edit lolz
Gambit and Black Planther from Jim Cheung. Not sure what this is from/for.

People on CBR told that RED is plannedd to go to Wakanda. So this pic is probably for RED.
I also think that some on the roster are Wakandan, aren't they?
I think that Gentle big guy is from Wakanda.
100% right. Those lines you see on him have something to do with vibranium iirc.
Perhaps the boots are silver and are reflecting his powers making them look purple! LMAO. Hey, you can make up anything right???
I love that cover. LOVE it!!! I''m sold on this ongoing. I made a thread for this book. :)
Definitely a cool cover. Hopefully he will have some importance in that book and not be written like a screw up. I'm tired of him being pigeon holed in that light.
The Syfy article just has stills from XTAS--I don't trust their judgement & won't bother reading.
Re: Creepy Gambit articles
Which is why when writers like Wilson and KT makes Gambit "chasing" women and do it such a way that it fails in the humor depart or romantic dept adds to this silly comments from these places. And why some of us who got upset with #1 of R&G. It's just bad and doesn't work. IMO

Well if we're bringing up the book, ... And c'mon. He's not chasing women. He's chasing "A" woman, which would be the opposite of sleazy, isn't it?
How dare that sleaze ball try to be committed to one woman! :P
Well if we're bringing up the book, he's got way more positive reviews from almost every main stream geek culture website and reviewer. Even diversity and comics who personally dislikes KT. But that's not about Gambit but the book he's 50% part of. I actually see some of the slight as reverse hate. People not like seeing him get good publicity so they are just petty and throwing out random venom in an attempt to offset. And c'mon. He's not chasing women. He's chasing "A" woman, which would be the opposite of sleazy, isn't it?
How dare that sleaze ball try to be committed to one woman! :P
But I wasn't talking about the mini. There's a article up on CBR right now. The author just trashes just about everyone, and lays it on thick with Gambit. Who ever this Mason person is, it seems they've only sparingly read anything over the past 10 years.
I'm going to guess that Resurrection is what allows Xmen Red to be in existence?
I mean.. it's how Jean comes back, so there's that.
Very very excited for X-Men Red
Not sure if anyone is reading Despicable Deadpool, but Gambit was mentioned in the newest issue. https://imgur.com/a/deNLf (https://imgur.com/a/deNLf)
Yeah, it was weird. Just another case of a writer inserting himself in a character to get with a fictional woman haha
Gambit aslo appeared at the end of All-New Wolverine 30 on last page.
He was on funeral of Laura`s mother.
On the right side are Daken, Gambit, OML and Hellion.
The crack about even him dating Gambit had me roaring with laughter. God, I'm gonna miss Duggan on that book.
... Duggan is a great writer but that pairing still doesn't make sense. The build up to that "make out party" was weak. It was like a really whack prize that in the end did nothing objectify Rogue. But those Rogue diehards refused to see anything beyond "she's the leader and star" even though Id argue that Deadpool was a bigger draw during Duggan's run. To be honest, for what he did, she's being awfully chummy. Very unlike her judgmental self. The same woman that left Gambit to die in the Antarctic for doing something indirectly in his youth and murdered a teammate in cold blood for falling victim to a psychotic break.
I dont know whats happening but I saw Gambit on a Marvel line-wide splash page endorsement on Twitter and CBR ::looks up:: Yes, that right there! I gives no @#@$# about any sideways crying. I'm pleasantly shocked and oddly enthused seeing this! :D
So in May Gambit should appear in R&G 5(last issue), Red 4,
Red #1 Annual (Gambit is on cover) and....
Astonishing 11 LOL
https://www.newsarama.com/38760-marvel-comics-may-2018-solicitations.html
Guys, I fear that move is never gonna happen.
it is happening, it will happen
Well, that's always good. What does he write?
Very nicely done Purplevit, especially Gambit, Jean and Nightcrawler.
Is the colouring and effects done in Photoshop?
That's pretty cool of Whitley. Haven't read any of his stuff but it looks like he's worked on some well-received titles
Nice work, Purp! This just got me excited for Wednesday to get here (even if Gambit's not in it yet :P )
Thank you! I doubt Gambit will be in #2 but maybe he will appear at least as last page reveal:)
Don't you get my hopes up like that haha
Great job Purplevit! Looks awesome.
So with all new Fresh Start announcements what you would like to see as Fresh Start for Gambit?Dr.Strange went to space. Would you like smth completely new like this for Gambit?I would love to see Gambit/Sinister interaction the most.I always liked when Gambit was working for him and would like more of it. Smth like double agent in Messiah Complex.
I've seen speculation of him getting a solo floating about. Has there been any kind of announcement or is it just rampant speculation after promo for fresh start.Just speculation. He is on Fresh Start poster.
So far all i see him in ongoing is Red which as a late join doesnt seem to make him part of its core he feels more support in this team.
I actually asked CB (Marvel EiC) about the idea of lesser characters getting digital books. I don't really understand why this isn't being used. Books like America Chavez, The Defenders, Spider-Gwen and Black Panther don't really sell enough units to stay float in print, but they all sell more than 5k. Why not just transfer them to 100% digital? I mean do more of a profit sharing, employ lesser-known artists and pay them exclusively via sells of the book. It'd be a great way to vet artists and provide a proving ground for a ideas and titles. If it does well, make it a printed title. But 5k at 3.99 would yield nearly 20K. All they'd be spending is bandwidth or paying for servers which are probably only having to deal with 50MB of data per title. No waste, no print, no paper etc. Almost 100% profit minus what they pay the writer or artist. Gambit was well within the 20Ks while not having any tie-in, variants, worthwhile features or even advertising. That'd be closer to $80K (@20K in sales). And digital download doesn't mean you don't insert ads. They should.
I think that they are just afraid that digital will kill off real comics.
... Gambit doesn't look like Teletubby in his new Red uniform to anyone? Carebear, Treasure Troll? Looks kind of like a giant target on his stomach.
Gambit is supposed to be 6'2. How tall is Kurt?
Gambit is supposed to be 6'2. How tall is Kurt?
If you believe marvel.wikia.com Kurt is 5'9"
I hnow what is the problem with Asrar`s Gambit. Wrong proportions.
Normally male body is drawn like 8 heads and female like 7 heads.
Asrar`s Gambit is 5,5 heads((
Neko... Look away.

That's pretty much confirmation Gambit will appear in that mini. GREAT I guess I am reading all 4 of them lol.
Gambit should look taller than Nightcrawler. Bad art . . . . . Gambit looks too stocky too but who knows, maybe the interior will be better than we think.
Neko... Look away.
(https://www.bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/XMENGOLD30_NOTO_CVR-600x910.jpg)
So it will have 3 stories.
By Guggenheim, KT and Calremont.
KT told that Gambit won`t appear in her story.
I never liked Kitty. For me she is annoying and has the most boring power.
But I also never liked Jean and thought that she is boring too. I liked Jean in RED and kinda like her now.
Just a heads up, Jim Zub might be hinting at a Gambit appearance in 'Mystery in Madripoor', not 100% but I read something about it on the 'Gambit & Rogue' thread at CBR.
I think Zub said something on Twitter.
Just a follow up. Here's an interview with Zub and co. I don't think Gambit will be in it, it's an all X-Woman team up.
https://www.cbr.com/interview-zub-cebulski-silas-hunt-for-wolverine/ (https://www.cbr.com/interview-zub-cebulski-silas-hunt-for-wolverine/)
Gambit or not, I don't think I would've picked it up anyway. The concept doesn't really grab me.
I just hope Red is everything some are hoping it to be. Lighten the mood around here.
I enjoyed the last issue quite a bit. I think Taylor is a pretty solid writer and I think he has a good balance with the team. It'll be interesting to see what he does with Gambit
Huh, a don't know if that's good or bad. Guess I'll hope for good...Me too :)
Huh, a don't know if that's good or bad. Guess I'll hope for good...
Well, he did miss Gambit eyes in All-New X-Factor ..... LMAO. I think its good. He's good guy and is nice to fans. :)

Lol of course AXM would end with a Land cover. Ugh.
It seems that AXM won`t end with 12. Rumour is that it will continue with a new writer and Land on art.
I like the Astonishing line-up (except Fantomex), so I hope it continues with a new writer. Unless they change the line-up :P

Dope purp.
In other news cbr made another list. It's a shocker, I know. Kids that are cooler and not cooler than their X-Men parents. They say Legion is not for some reason but they did list the Lebeau siblings from The End/GeNext.
https://www.cbr.com/x-men-kids-cooler-than-parents/
Thanks, Don.
One more bad list from CBR. I can't remeber the last time when they made a fine list.
X-Men Gold 26, just flicked throug it, Gambit was Right, he doesn't seem to take part in the ensuing fight but he does show up later at Peters Bachelor party with Iceman, Pyro, Peter and Kurt, he has some fun banter with Kurt saying they will be doing this one day for Gambit to which Remy replys Kurt wouldn't be able to handle his Bachelor party, Kurt says he will accept that challenge :) Remy says its hypothetical as he doesn't see him and Rogue ever getting hitched (this seems to be going with Gambit and Rogue being together) anywho its all fun and a nice appearance by Gambit except he uses the term boyo twice and i know he has used it before but its just so odd and Irish its just wrong lol

*sigh* Not surprising because Guggenheim is a big Romy fan. Too many Romy writers currently. We need Marjorie Liu back to help balance that out. It really sucks that Gambit is starting to return to prominence and is immediately stuck with that albatross. I hope Tom Taylor is anti-Romy.
Was Pyro really there? I haven't been keeping up much with comics because of Romy garbo and Queen of Losers Jubilee, but Pyro seems like an odd guest. Did he turn face recently?
Cool to hear Remy and Kurt interacted. That's one of the things I want most from X-Men Red. They always felt like people who should be buddies, but never got a real chance to interact.
Gambit was ok in Gold. I liked it
(http://community.comicbookresources.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=64826&stc=1&d=1524119937)
Also I hope Gambit will stay with team till issue 30.
this is a New Pyro called Simon, he was kinda a bad guy but not really and Iceman gave him a second chance to redeem himself and become an X-Man, he went to bat for him with Kitty
I didn't get "pro Romy" from that... It's observing continuity. Writers chosing to embrace and ignore certain aspects of characters is the reason Gambit turned into Racky, why Mystique is a X-Man, how Rogue ended up with Magneto, how Wolverine became an Avenger, all of the Inhumans vs X-Men foolishness, so on and so forth. I think it's healthy for storytelling and great for business as you encourage people to read other books. Otherwise we're reading collections short stories.
Sounds lame. Glad I hard passed on Gold after seeing the author and team.
I mean... Okie dokie? I don't get the point of your rant. Guggenheim has literally said Gambit/Rogue is one of his favorite couples of all time in an interview and that's where my "pro-Romy" comment comes from. Though, I can't find that interview now so I might have hallucinated it. Anyway, all I was saying was that I'm not surprised he went there instead of a more generic, but still continuity observing "I've already been married once and I can't see myself getting married again."
Wow, I just noticed - in the image posted, Gambit's eyes are the wrong color. I didn't notice at first, now it sticks out. It is amazing that editorial doesn't tell the artists these things or maybe the colorist forgot?
