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!
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

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.

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?

So cool . Maybe they will give him his own solo movie next😂
Does anyone else miss comic book artist drawing comic books? What is that? Water colors?
Is that a bowtie?
X-Men Red #4
Gambit doesn’t appear at all. However, it’s still a good read and it seems Ororo is the last member to join the team as she’s with everyone else in Atlantis (or wherever under the sea) after they fix her mind controlled issues, sporting a new “red” style outfit (which they describe as special to avoid the nano mind control hinge). Basically, the nanos what’s-her-name made will cause mutants to kill themselves if they aren’t mind controlled with another program.
The Wedding Special
JFC the boys trip is f***ing AWFUL. There’s not one, but two “boyo”s in an 8 page story, the art is cringy and there is just terrible pacing/diaglogue all the way around. However the girl’s bachelorette party is heaps and heaps above the boys in writing & art. They take Kitty to a karaoke + stripper bar, she has a heart to heart with Rogue in the bathroom (Rogue’s all giddy post R&G mini trip), Kitty runs into Calisto who just yammers that she’ll hurt Kitty if she hurts Peter and it ends with a massive expensive bottle of champagne for the table bought by Emma.. The girl’s night out is honestly just adorable fun fluff.
Boyo again? Ugh!😲
Thanks for the spoilers, I know now I don't need to go to the shop.
Boyo - I don't care about the Wedding issue either.
Marvel - do me a favor, put Gambit in limbo, this is too painful.
Whats too Painful? if he's in limbo people complain he isn't being used, he's being used people complain he's not being used right, theres no winning. This Guild used to be a happy place, people on here are polite and respectful of one another by my God its drowning in so much negativity these past few months WTF happened, Sorry to single your post out Neko it's not just you but that sentence just broke me, ive tried so hard not to do this hence why i barley post. Look i get people are upset there not getting the Gambit they want, but we haven't had the Gambit we want for a long time, his appearances have been sporadic but now he is in Astonishing, Gold & Red and just off of a damn well written Mini, fair enough if like me you dont like Romy or the pairing but he was written well and KT fixed some issues with rogue realizing s*** and acknowledging hows she treated Remy. Astonishing he's wallpaper but he is competent wall paper granted some of you didnt like the way Mystique talked to him but hey thats the way she is and Remy's lack of response is how he is, he's too above a response to her crap, Red he's just appeared and it was a good showing with a nice use of his powers, im looking forward to see where this is going, Gold Boyo aside (ffs he's not from 1960s Ireland) and while he made a mistake in issue 4 but he was written well and he is still written well in Gold, he found Mesmero when no one else could, and he's having fun interacting with other X-Men being friends something he hasnt been seen doing in a while.
Yes id rather we had more focus on the guy, but im looking at the positives
Now as for the movie, i cant say anything and this is not a plug but if you have listened to my podcast you'd know what i do for a living, so trust me when i say the film is happening and it will be this year, i dont know who is directing, but i know there is crew and there are contracts. Take from that what you will.
Sorry, I'm not try to tell anyone how too feel, im just venting , i love this place and you guys but its been so negative lately
I totally agree with you. It has been a while since Gambit was part of the X-Men and was even used in a book. Seeing him being used again in multiple books is a great sign. Marvel is slowly trying to give Gambit some importance in the X-Men world and introducing him to newer reader. Gambit has recently appeared in Marvel Puzzle Quest (where he is an super powerful) and Contest of Champions.
Whats too Painful? if he's in limbo people complain he isn't being used, he's being used people complain he's not being used right, theres no winning. This Guild used to be a happy place, people on here are polite and respectful of one another by my God its drowning in so much negativity these past few months WTF happened, Sorry to single your post out Neko it's not just you but that sentence just broke me, ive tried so hard not to do this hence why i barley post. Look i get people are upset there not getting the Gambit they want, but we haven't had the Gambit we want for a long time, his appearances have been sporadic but now he is in Astonishing, Gold & Red and just off of a damn well written Mini, fair enough if like me you dont like Romy or the pairing but he was written well and KT fixed some issues with rogue realizing s*** and acknowledging hows she treated Remy. Astonishing he's wallpaper but he is competent wall paper granted some of you didnt like the way Mystique talked to him but hey thats the way she is and Remy's lack of response is how he is, he's too above a response to her crap, Red he's just appeared and it was a good showing with a nice use of his powers, im looking forward to see where this is going, Gold Boyo aside (ffs he's not from 1960s Ireland) and while he made a mistake in issue 4 but he was written well and he is still written well in Gold, he found Mesmero when no one else could, and he's having fun interacting with other X-Men being friends something he hasnt been seen doing in a while.
Yes id rather we had more focus on the guy, but im looking at the positives
Now as for the movie, i cant say anything and this is not a plug but if you have listened to my podcast you'd know what i do for a living, so trust me when i say the film is happening and it will be this year, i dont know who is directing, but i know there is crew and there are contracts. Take from that what you will.
Sorry, I'm not try to tell anyone how too feel, im just venting , i love this place and you guys but its been so negative lately
I am with you on all this! And agree. Guild is a home for Gambit fans and must be happy again. Your post is important.
As for Astonishing it is not Mystique that bothrered me. It is Soule. Because he twice wrote Remy useless in situation and then two characters joked that he done nothing. First Fanto and then Mystique.
How is Contest of Champions, btw? I've been playing Puzzle Quest for a while now (finally unlocked Gambit woo!) and it's pretty fun (if you like the Bejeweled/Candy Crush style games)

To be fair, that's pretty in character for both of those characters. It's funny, I just posted about Astonishing haha I'm probably the only one here still reading it but I'm enjoying it quite a bit
Cool! I quit it because I couldn't open Gambit for moths.
You are lucky;)
Since I was singled out, I'll say my peace and move on. If for some reason this is unacceptable, please alert me and I'll remove as many of my posts as possible.
@Dantay and all -
I'm sorry if I've made you or anyone else uncomfortable due to perceived negativity. Yes, its how one views a thing to attach an emotion to it.
I get the wanting the positives, hence I have decreased my postings. I will also continue to decrease my postings.
I don't Romy – and I'm choosing not to say anything more about that book. I've stated my positives when the book has been released.
As for boyo – should have used the sarcasm thingy but it was meant as not getting the character right. Legitimate critique, isn't it? If not, okay.
Apologies to all.

Jesus no theres no need to delete anything, and nothing anyone has ever said on here has made me uncomfortable anyway. More so, no one has anything to apologize for. i was going to say something sooner or later it was just that comment that made me vent, and like i said before i didn't mean to single you out specifically. Ive always viewed you through your posts as positive and maybe when i seen you on a downer i vented. Every fandom out there is the same when it comes to characters they love. Ive been trying to look at the positives and be positive and then i log on here and its like whats the point in posting any of that. im not telling anyone how to feel, vent away, be negative if you want its an open forum, that's whats great about this community, you can vent and people here are still respectful. Stuff has been so negative here regarding the writing or the movie maybe no one noticed and pointing it out may get people to look on the bright side and feel positive again, i dont know but i feel better after venting
They recently introduced a thing where you can mark certain characters as a favorite and so I immediately marked the 3* Gambit as a fav. Then, I played a VS match and won a special recruit token when the match expired and that unlocked him for me. I've done that a few times and unlocked different powers for him that way. Idk if anyone else has gotten that to work

I'm beyond Gambit is in stuff phase. A panel here or there or poor choice of wording in the writing of Gambit is disappointing. Having Gambit in multiple books creates awareness for the character and that is a good thing.
I suppose pointing it out helps but tbh - I've wasted money on characters I absolutely loathe and have done my best to keep my tone as close to being in the middle as I can. We're talking months of reading about one specific character that I made a pack with myself to never spend another dime on ever. What really happened in that book was support for the character I don't like at the expensive of the one I do like. That is hard to take on a monthly basis.
When I actually get a book where my favorite is close to anything like he should be and what do I read, how horrible he was in the appearance, yet the other book for which not one person can actually list what Gambit did that was so fantastic is just the greatest thing since (insert whatever that greatest thing is here).
Normally, I feel very positive when it comes to Gambit but I'm getting nothing but a relationship that I dislike, poor choice in dialogue and others negativity in the one book I actually like that so far doesn't do either of those things.
Balance would be nice, I suppose. And as I always say, if you are enjoying those things I don't like, that is great! Awesome, but this hobby is losing me because the character I enjoy the most is stuck in a rut.
I stand by my apology to all, for any perceived negativity or any other deemed slight.
edit: please everyone feel comfortable posting whatever opinion your have, don't let me deter you from giving your view on whatever topic you wish. :)
In 2018 alone, Gambit's been in 4 books. I'd say that beats the limbo years that we were getting in previous times.
Red this week was a good issue, remember Gambit's story is very isolated at the moment, so time will tell when the dots join. Out of the 3 core X-Books, this is by far the best series.
Just skimmed through the Wedding Special. I guess at the very least, Guggs had enough respect for Remy to have him in the bachelor party and involved in the festivities in the wedding issue to come. Most snobbish (anti-90s) writers would ignore Gambit, and have him sidelined. But Wedding Specials are what they are, I don't like weddings in real life or wedding specials on TV, so you know, it is what it is lol. It's a happy occasion, not much room for epic battles and drama.
Hey now, my wedding was dope. WifesW family spent waaaaaay too much money on it, but it was dope nonetheless. As for tv, the only wedding episode I tolerate is the infamous "A Different World" wedding episode. Perhaps "Boy Meets world" as well. Haven't picked up this week's red yet, but I hear good things. But I hear good things about the whole run and I still pick it apart. By all means it's the best X-Men title out, but there's so much room for improvement. I think Storm's inclusion and Gambit will make it more bearable. That pulling back on the virtue signaling. I get it, the political and social landscape sucks. Now lets get back to punching sentinels in the face.
I do look forward to Gambit getting his new uniform. I'm sure he's going to quip while pulling his coat over it.
And Neko, don't feel you've got to censor yourself to appear more positive. This is, after all, *your* site and you should feel free to say what you want, even to vent. I've just noticed a general malaise around here is all (including from me!). I think we're all frustrated about different things to certain degrees, but I don't think we should lose heart. One of my favorite qualities that Remy has is his tenacity--if we lose that, if we lose heart, then Marvel wins. And we can't have that, now can we?No ... we can't. Despite their whatevers ....we can learn from Remy - he is a survivor.
Thanks for keeping on all these years Neko--next year it'll be 20!--thanks for letting us have a place for intelligent, passionate discussions that don't veer into ad hominem attacks. The internet's often an insane, inane, scary place so it's nice to have a haven from the madness.Holy s***! has it been that long???!!! I have loved it all .. every crazy thing and challenging moment.
They recently introduced a thing where you can mark certain characters as a favorite and so I immediately marked the 3* Gambit as a fav.

**Moving it forward, is this CoC game ... a computer game as in pc oriented or does it need another platform for play.
Thanks for explaining how to get Gambit, that probably works with other "rare" characters. I don't know if he's rare in the game or not. I don't play it but I think its interesting how people find the things they find. :)

How the heck did Gambit NOT make the cut...

If it's Gambit, I buy it. I have a curio filled with Gambit merchandise. The Funko comment brought back the memory of when I contacted them about a Gambit one...he and Nightcrawler could not be done because Disney would not release the rights to them. Apparently, Mickey had, and I guess still has, a big stick up his butt about the whole Fox / X-Men rights.
Was it just Gambit and Nightcrawler? Because Rogue's the other big name X-Character that doesn't have a pop either...
Iceman, Kitty Pryde, Emma Frost, Psylocke, Archangel and Cable have only been released within the last 2 years, so they're still fairly new. I think the Pops with an 'X-Men' title on the box have only been recent (2016?). The older X-Men pops were released years before (Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm etc) ...and they had a 'Marvel' title.
Domino's coming out now because of the Deadpool movie (and it's her comic version). Maybe when the Gambit movie comes out, we'll get a pop. Hopefully in the original pink & black.
Other than not saying boyo? *g*
Gambit & Rogue just act mostly as the people transitioning the scene to the next scene by asking “where are we going?” “How are we getting there?” There’s a pretty cute panel of the post crash scene with Rogue trying to get up going “well, any landing you can walk away from...” and Gambit’s upside down all “you call THAT a landing?” And another panel of Gambit enjoying fighting but no, nothing super more worthy.
Thanks for posting my cosplay from MegaCon!You can tell you spent time on it. Great Job.
Thanks for posting my cosplay from MegaCon!
Thank you! I spent a LOT of time on it. The drop leg pouch ended up not working, so that's gone.I actually thought the cats were genius👍
I see Paneo01 doesn't really care for it ;D But that's ok! Cosplay is about having fun ;)
I don't make the best Gambit, but he's been my favorite since his debut. Plus, he represents us Cajuns (even though there is a LOT wrong with his Cajun portrayal). We still love him!

In the preview of Astonishing 12 looks like Shadow King has defeated all of the X-men mentally except for Psylocke who will eventually save the day with X making a return which might lead into the X Classified storyline. This issue of Gold seems interesting even though I know Gambit will not play a part in the storyline. X-Men Red is the one I am excited about as it seems like he will finally be join the team.
Astonishing, well, to be fair I've only read 2 issues, the Gambit kicking Fantomex into the door/portal(?) was a great scene, but from what I understand, he hasn't done a lot after that.
So that was someone asking about those pops, what was the response?

I'm not fixing all those with messed up fonts and stuff! LMAO - you can read it, good enough. Makes me a tad crazy though, so if my ocd doesn't kick in ... we're good.

I had predicted what will happen in Astonishing and that is exactly what happened. This book has been predictable and boring.
I was very happy with how the team has assembled and seems everyone has a purpose. Going forward I want to see how everyone with be used. I have never seen Gambit interact with Namor so that will be interesting.
Astonishing 12 was bad. X and Psylocke saved the day. X made everyone for some reason except Psylocke to forget everything what happend. Also X left Gambit the purpose to find Fantomex and pay his debt which was very very very stupid.
On one hand, that could make for a cool storyline for Gambit and I would think bringing him back from the dead would more than pay for his debt. On the other hand, that seems really f***ing stupid of X to say when Fanto literally gave him his life so X could live. If anyone owes Fanto anything, it's X.
I haven't read it, though, so maybe it's a little more tactfully said than I'm picturing.
Agree.
It was stupid because X stole Fantomex body and then erased Gambit`s memories about how Fanto dissapeared. It should X the one who need to find Fanto or help him, really.
Also why to search Fanto if Betsy knows where he is.

I think I can confidently say that they got the back of Gambit's head right ;) Hopefully he will be in more than just the background. I do see Deadpool in the background. I wonder if he'll have a scene with R&G. It would be kind of funny of DP didn't get invited (because honestly, how would he have gotten invited?) and Gambit and a couple of the others had to throw him out. Of course, maybe Domino got invited and he's her +1
Also, I'm still not sold on Beast's new look.

So CBR has a couple articles up on the X-Classified series starting in August. It’s called “Mr. & Mrs. X” and it’ll be written by Kelly Thompson.

Goodness, you guys are quick. I've done nothing. Haven't decided anything. And in my attempt to be less active, which is also my saying I'm disappointed without raining on anyone, hasn't resulted in anything.
You are slaying me! :D
Don't panic ....
Yeah, we're all panicking right now! DON'T DO IT! LOL.
Don't panic ....
I just can't do this hobby as enthusiastically as before, being stuck to another character does nothing for me.
Marvel has never been the HEA type group, there needed to be more clean up to make it work but I guess in a tragic sort of why, it is the way of romance novels. There is that - :D
Seriously, what the #&$& is happening?!
I guess the question is, if a HEA is the goal ... are they going to stick to it or just flirt with it until it isn't deemed important. Is this a Sue and Reed thing or what? Is this a new direction? Do they want to reap the female audience by giving them HEA's .. but if they do, they can't just stop if they want the action/adventure stuff. For comics they need to keep the book rolling unless a series of minis is the best way to go. I dunno, they might do well going in that direction. I'm not sure.
Yeah, I've been there. I dropped comics for probably a decade or so out of pure protest (two names in particular: Carey, Milligan) and I do have my doubts about Marvel's ability to sustain a HEA down the line. I trust KT though.
I'm sorry... What is HEA?LMAO - I almost spit my drink out. HEA=Happily Ever After.
Hetrosexual equally aggravated? Only once a month for me.

A couple things I noticed reading the BleedingCool article a... um, couple additional times:
Rogue’s suddenly sporting a power dampener around her neck during the vows. I thought it was just lazy writing like hand waving her powers like “it’s a little kiss, he’ll be fiiiine” by Guggs with the kiss at the end but it looks like someone did think about it and address it!
There’s also a cut of panel we see above the vows part that we pretty much just see a bunch of legs & hips. You see a couple hands in front of the people to the right & left of Gambit & Rogue so I think it’s a whatever you’d calll a last minute wedding party (and Gambit’s to the right of Rogue which put the POV of the audience looking on, which is why i’m thinking the others are wedding party as they face he audience). Which, I think, makes Storm best man, Iceman Man of Honor and Laura & Kurt the other two. Which is so painfully adorable, and I support this
Funko is releasing a Prince Harry & Meghan Pop set...hope they consider the same for G&R.

So we all know how the Rogue and Gambit book will end now.
Sooooo...where the heck do I catch up on the stuff I've missed these last couple months?
Seriously, I had to stop since I've been too busy to even think about going to the shop to pick up any comics. So I've been seeing that Gambit has been popping up in Gold prior to this? And somewhere else, Red?
Basically, the last thing I read was that issue of Rogue and Gambit where the two of them got busy if uh, if you know what I mean. When they got back together. Can some helpful soul give me a list of books with Gambit in them since then that are worth picking up?
I am sure that till the end of mini Deadpool will kill all Guild.
Candra was killed in Cable.
It is a shame that Gambit villains are only used in other projects.
Yeah, but it's not the worst thing for Gambit's supporting characters/villains to flourish on different books as well...
Nithing good, really. They are just got killed in different books
Marvel Heroes is defunct now, as far as I know. When it was up, Gambit was one of the middle cost champions and could be obtained pretty quickly by farming Infinity ShardsSorry. I was talking about Contest of Champions mobile game.
They recently introduced a thing where you can mark certain characters as a favorite and so I immediately marked the 3* Gambit as a fav. Then, I played a VS match and won a special recruit token when the match expired and that unlocked him for me. I've done that a few times and unlocked different powers for him that way. Idk if anyone else has gotten that to work
Where I can mark a character? I can`t see such option :(
In Puzzlequest? You just go to the "Roster" and then it brings up all of your characters as well as a list of the characters you can unlock. Each character has a little star next to it you can tap and it becomes gold
Oh, that was Puzzlequest. I thought it was contest of champions.
Thanks. Then I should download Puzzlequest.
It is impossible to open Gambit in Contest of Chanmpions for me. But I aleady have 3 Iron-man`s , lol.
Gambit makes a cameo appearance in the preview of Amazing SpiderMan#1 https://www.cbr.com/amazing-spider-man-1-preview/ (https://www.cbr.com/amazing-spider-man-1-preview/)
I will put this here since there is no actual movie news(Per usual)
X force is already casting roles right now as are more marvel films....and yet we stll have ZERO on the Gambit movie. No director, No cast.
Is this movie dead?
than why does fox keep saying it ISN'T dead😲😲😲
Yes it is dead.
It is not dead.
I think and hope we will get smth at SDCC.
I was optimistic like you but now I have lost all hope. Especially after Channing got divorced he doesn't seem interested in anything and neither does Fox. I think that is the reason Marvel is using Gambit now as even they do know that the movie won't happen.
If Gambit movie will die then Tatum will announce that he left the project the same way as Gordon-Levitt left Sandman or Mamoa left Craw reboot.
They are still looking for director or they found one and are waiting to announce. Right now it is not dead.
I hope your right.
well He was out promoting magic mike london and his vodka and is producing a BUNCH...but his acting career seems to have stalled or he's not interested in roles it seems. Terrible how fox and company botched this movie so badly
I was optimistic like you but now I have lost all hope. Especially after Channing got divorced he doesn't seem interested in anything.
...As of right now, the only person still attached to Gambit is Tatum. Lizzy Caplan was cast in the film last year when it actually had a director, but with that seat vacant and the schedule shifting, her status is unknown. And really, the entire project should be in question at this point
....Gambit currently has a June 7, 2019 release staked out, making it one of three X-Men movies slated to hit theaters next year; Dark Phoenix is now delayed till February and New Mutants was pushed (again) till August. The biggest difference between these two films and Gambit is what stage of production they are in. While both Dark Phoenix and New Mutants are set to undergo major reshoots months after principal photography wrapped, Gambit has yet to film a single scene. Yet, somehow, Gambit is supposed to hit theaters in between these two films.
Screenrant questions if the movie will ever actually get made .
https://screenrant.com/gambit-movie-canceled-2019-release-date-channing-tatum/ (https://screenrant.com/gambit-movie-canceled-2019-release-date-channing-tatum/)
Not exactly surprising. The timetable for when everything transfers to Disney (hopefully. eff you comcast) makes everything kind of cloudy as far as the future of the X-Men at Fox. So who knows if they should just scrap.might be time to scrap Tatum too.
Screenrant renamed article from "Is Gambit movie canceled?" to "Channing Tatum's Gambit Movie Is Still Set For 2019 - Will It Happen?"
Good.
;)
Stop thinking so hard Purp.. if it happens it happens. Tomato, tomahto.

Interesting. I know his last couple movies haven't been great, but I'm still a fan of Jones. I think it's unlikely he'll be directing Gambit, though. "A Comic Book Project" could be a wide range of things
He did Moon (Great), Source Code (Pretty good), Warcraft (not terrible - not great), and Mute (pretty much universally panned). So, it's been downhill latelyimo you have not missed much. Moon is the only good film he's ever done. Hoping they find a director with a much better track record. Warcraft was critically panned and a bomb in the U.S.. Made its money back in China.
So... Duncan Jones is not directing Gambit.is anyone surprised? Lol
is anyone surprised? Lol
I never heard about that Rogue Trooper.
Finally!
Finally!
Looks ok since it's not an expensive line.
Cool but wrong colors.
Rogue's face isn't working for me, though. She lacks sass. 90s XTAS Rogue was all about sass.
Well, I know what I'll be buying...lol. Does anyone know if they're already available for purchase?
Super excited to share the first look of a brand new Gambit action figure by Hasbro and it look awesome. :D

Marvel legends panel closes out with the reveal of Gambit at the 35 minute mark.

Oh that Gambit figure looks so freakin' cool. How much do the Hasbro types go for nowadays?
If you get it right when it comes out, the price is like $20 USD. But it kinda depends where you look. A lot of places will probably mark it up or you might be able to find it on sale on Amazon a little while after it's released (I got my Rogue for like $15 this way whereas my LCS is selling it for something like $50). I'm just going to preorder mine on Amazon whenever it's available
anyone else the the Amazing Spider-man solicits, Spidys going up against the New York Thieves Guild, i swear gambit better show up and shut that s*** down or have mention of him being their freaking King
I don't get it. He draws Rogue's appearance rather consistently, but Gambit changes every time. Is he reading comments and trying to 'fix' him, or just can't draw him the same way twice?
:idiot2:

Candra has died before, Bella was in Scarlet Spider the Kain one >:(
Cool! I hope Gambit in it. Gambit was in 2 panels in Amazing Spider-Man #1.
It annoys me that Candra was killed in Cable, and Assasiins are just dieing in Deadpool.
Candra has died before, Bella was in Scarlet Spider the Kain one >:(
Editor asked me to do one of those "list" articles. While I sincerely detest those, he recommended I do one on Gambit. I said yes. And also yes to at least another. I'm not so much into "fluff" so I want to do a "10-things real fans of Gambit want the rest of you to know"-kinda thing. I want to go further than people misconstruing his powers (but I'm still going there, because it annoys me). Here are some of the subjects I'm going to hit on;
Powers and extended abilities
Pop-culture preferences
Thieves Guild Status
Fighting Style and accomplishments
Origin of his middle-name
Doesn't have to be 10, but I want to know if there are is anything else you guys would like to see on the list?
1. Gambit & Courier did not create Sinister. Apocalypse gave Essex his powers his dying wife gave him his name. Courier theorized that as a result of taking a small sample of his DNA that Sinister was able adapt the same powers
Cool! Maybe something will be useful.
1. Gambit created Sinister with Courier`s parts when he travelled in old England.
3. Gambit is kinda nerd and a fan of The Little Prince, Harry Potter and Dune.
1. Gambit & Courier did not create Sinister. Apocalypse gave Essex his powers his dying wife gave him his name. Courier theorized that as a result of taking a small sample of his DNA that Sinister was able adapt the same powers
3. also Star Trek
some things not mentioned so far that people may not know....most non fans anyway
1. His red on black eyes are not part of his mutation he has had them since birth
2. He married his childhood sweetheart in an arranged marriage,
3. Mr. Sinister removed a piece of Gambits brain to dampen his powers
4. Gambit has traveled through Time, Space and other Dimensions
5. he appeared in comics for other companies ,in a crossover Gambit and Wolverine stole the Batmobile, he also defeated Nightwing ,Gambit also had a crossover with Nightman
6. He was the Leader of the X-Men along with Rogue when Cyclops died
7. when he lost his powers he defeated a brain washed Bishop and resisted being brainwashed by Bogan too
8. his accent gets thicker when he is in New Orleans
9. He died and was pulled away from the gates of heaven by Rogue
10. He's super rich, once paying Deadpool 3 million because he was too tired to fight him
i know they are random but pretty sure non fans wouldnt know them, also the marvel is he is an under rated fighter
Ah yes Kurt, however when Kurt is depowered he reverts to a human state, when Gambit is depowered his eyes are still red on black though, again see XXM 19 till the end, off the top of my head his eyes always stay red on black with the exception of UXM 379- 380 but that could be coloring related as when the X-Men are depowered Remys pupils are red in some panels and when their powers come back his eyes are white. Same argument i make that his abilities are all natural not power related as when he is depowered he is still the same fighter and acrobat with the same agility and speed, he took out Bishop with no powers.
Agree about Sinister changes.
Don`t agree about eyes that they are not part of his mutation. Kurt was born blue and with tale.
Just his energy powers activated later.

Wasnt in the Annual i think it was the 2 part classified thing your thinking of, again its the coloring, my argument is that depending on the colorist even when he has powers his eyes are sometimes wrong, so if his eyes were part of his mutation wouldn't they be normal when he is depowered, surly the writer or editor would say, Gambit has no powers keep his eyes normal, yet 9 times out of 10 when he is depowered his eyes are red on black. if they were part of his mutation they would turn normal no?
Yeah, his eyes is always drawn wong so I don`t see it as argument. When he was depowered in X-Treme Annual he had human eyes.
Agree that his abilities are all natural and not power. His reflexes when Best tested hin were the same and depowered Gambit still could trick Bogan as he tricked Shadow King.

If eyes weren't part of his mutation then Rogue wouldn't absorb his eye color with touch or kiss.
The times Gambit's eyes weren't red and black were due to the colorist messing up, this much is obvious. However, I disagree with the argument that they are not part of his mutation.Yeah i addressed that dude UXM 379-380 the colorist is all over the shop, Remys pupils are red in some panels after the x-gene is gone and then when he gets his powers back his eyes are white/normal. But during XXM 19 onwards his eyes while depowered are Red on Black
Yeah, there were times when Gambit was depowered and his eyes were still the same but also there was that time when the High Evolutionary erased the x-gene. Gambit had normal eyes after the fact. Nightcrawler and Beast were normal looking as well. So his eyes were part of his mutation, at least in this case.
Yeah i addressed that dude UXM 379-380 the colorist is all over the shop, Remys pupils are red in some panels after the x-gene is gone and then when he gets his powers back his eyes are white/normal. But during XXM 19 onwards his eyes while depowered are Red on Black
@purplevit i forgot about Rogue however she did absorb Deadpools skin cancer and im sure thats not his power,(like i know the whole healing factor experiment messed up his skin but is it his power part of his power?) when she absorbed Wolverine she got his chops too and sometimes his hair style again im sure thats not part of his power
anyway it doesn't matter, i shouldn't have stated it as fact when its not, its not cannon and hasn't been stated in the comics or by a writer

Hank was in prison before with Wolverine and their powers were turned off so he reverted back to human state, i cant think of any other instances that wasnt an image inducer being used, i never read Excalibur or X-Factor though or pre Gambit X-Men
Ps. is there any other issue where Kurt or Hank changed physically because they couldn't use their powers? Just curious cause I can't think of any.
Ah yes Kurt, however when Kurt is depowered he reverts to a human state, when Gambit is depowered his eyes are still red on black though, again see XXM 19 till the end, off the top of my head his eyes always stay red on black with the exception of UXM 379- 380 but that could be coloring related as when the X-Men are depowered Remys pupils are red in some panels and when their powers come back his eyes are white.

Man they have really screwed her character since the first ongoing ended, she was terriable in the second ongoing, was the villian in an X-Force mini, Scarlet Spider (Kain version) and now this , she isnt even blonde in it, really sucks >:(
Wade killed Bella and she was written lame and weak in Deadpool Assassin 5.
If it wasn`t a shapeshifter as Bella in issue 5 or she won`t be brought back to life next issue then I will be really dissapointed in Bunn as writer and Deadpool as character.
Why would you be disappointed in Wade? He's a mercenary who, earlier in the series, only takes serious jobs.
Wade killed Bella and she was written lame and weak in Deadpool Assassin 5.
Is what happened in today’s Deadpool Assassin going to affect Deadpool’s appearance in MMX? Or should we assume DA happens later or Gambit doesn’t know?Makes sense, like he killed a whole lot of other characters,Boomerang, Lord Deathstrike and Crossbones is the only names i can think of right now, also Weasel
KT: My understanding is that Deadpool Assassin is “out of continuity”
That’s…the only answer I have right now. : /

He was talking a lot about his codex but it seems his codex means nothing for friends.
DvG is canon.
Killing ex wife of his friend is not fine. Make out with ex girlfriend of his friend is not fine.

I get they are married but Jesus, you guys are superheroes and will be in dangerous situations. Don't really want Gambit or Rogue losing their cool everu time the other is in trouble. A bit disconcerting that instead of being proactive about the situation, he just sat there until Cerise came up with the plan just out of the blue. Where is the Gambit with that swagger where when Cable was ready to move, Gambit just instinctively knew what his role was.he wasn't just sitting there he was getting them out of the shackles, you know doing something he is good at, also being showcased here as being good at . A writer showcasing Gambits skills, something we all complain that Marvel has lacked in the past. Going by the dialog it seems they already had a conversation off panel, either that or he instinctively knew she had a plan hence the line "wait til im free before you make your move" , How is freeing them and going with a plan not being proactive, he's ready for a fight and think of the confidence that Remy has in his abilities that he frees Cerise first, knowing it could go wrong and he'd have to fight shackled, that's swagger dude. As for his reaction to his wife getting blown up, yeah its actually quite tame imo but again given the dialog he's counting on her powers to have saved her, so hes 99% sure she's alive. Gambit & Rogue always lost their cool whenever they are in trouble hurt or injured its freaking annoying, always has been this is noting new here.

that would be pretty cool and on point
I actually missed the "wait til I'm free before you make your move," in the top right corner of that panel. I would agree that makes the rest of the scene much better.
As for them freaking out when the other is in trouble, I didn't say it was unique to this book. I just find it annoying. They should be used to it now. Although with that line above, it may be Gambit is just yelling like a concerned husband to distract them from the fact he is breaking them out.
Did the list... Editor added "the best X-Man" thing to the title. That's going to ruffle some feathers. May have been the point. Still, not really my angle lol.

Article praising an original Claremont character on a site that specialises in rants about SJWers killing the comic industry. Claremont pioneered SJWing in superhero comics. In Gambit, Rogue, Storm, Kitty, DOFP, GLMK...
Yeesh. Didn't expect those kind of 'read next' links when I clicked through.
Its about time the rest of that first run by Fabnic is released, took them long enough.
Mr.&Mrs.X 2 is out and it is awesome, Rogue is op, Gambit is no damsel and Deadpool is hilarious and the 3 work well together its a great dynamic , no spoilers , the ending is weird and the pacing is rapid , my only gripe with this issue is minor and its the repeated mention of Honeymoon...we get it dag nabit, also its so fast paced it seems so short cant wait till issue 3
MMX 2 was great. Gambit, Rogue and Deadpool are fun together. Ending is really weird.He did plenty in Red, he gave good orders and took control of the situation, great leadership skills and quality on showcase here
RED 7 was fine as issue. Gambit almost did nothing but he was in charge of mission. Really feels like Liu`s Astonishing.
He did plenty in Red, he gave good orders and took control of the situation, great leadership skills and quality on showcase here
It's official. Lucifer, Oliver and Figaro will show up in issue #6 ::)LOL, maybe I'll read that issue then. LOL

I don't get it. But I'm still not ready to bail on this book yet. It's not bad, but it's far from "good". It's OK. It just lacks life. You've got Storm, Jean, Nightcrawler and Gambit on a team, yet they behave as if they barely known each other. There's no heart in their exchanges. Gabby seems to be the only one allowed to show signs of life. Jean, one of the most passionate and emotionally charged characters in all of X-Men comes off like a robot.
I saw that marvel knights one, but I have no idea what it is or what's going on...
David Lopez will be the artist on Mr & Mrs X #6.

Balzadua will be back for the next arc.
Have to admit... Not digging Rogue's head shape. Looks... Off.
Yes. Oscar draws Gambit much better
You draw a much better Gambit than Oscar.
I am really enjoying Cosmic Ghost Rider and in today's issue we get to see a glimpse of an alternate version of Gambit who is part of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
I think it is only a matter of time till Ta-Nehisi Coates will get X-Men. He is a big X-Men fan.
It seems he was the one who offered to make Romy wedding instead of Kitty and Colossus.
Really? That's awesome. I would love to see him on X-Men
I HAd heard that Coates was an x men can. And that the wedding switch was from a writers summit, but I thought it was Donny cates. But I'm not positive.
I could be wrong. I'm there's an article somewhere, but I'm too lazy to look for it, lol.m
Really? That's awesome. I would love to see him on X-Men
he's about as bad and annoying as Tom Taylor is on X-Men Red.
Deadpool needs to go, though.this.
From MMX 3
This looks fun. Deadpool needs to go, though.
It is a last issue with Wade.
So cover for MMX 3 was changed a little bit.

Rogue look hot. Gambit's eyes remind me of early 00s style.
Glad to see our favorite Cajun get top 10! I'm surprised he even beat Rogue in the polls considering how much more Marvel has featured Rogue in comics the last five years. Maybe this can be a sign to Marvel that they should have Gambit featured more prominently in comics after keeping him in limbo from 2015-2018 and seemingly trying to kill his fanbase with crappy writers and crappy stories. Despite all that they should realize that we still support him. Don't know how this will affect anything but one can wish. https://twitter.com/cracksh0t/status/1046735413229080578 (https://twitter.com/cracksh0t/status/1046735413229080578)Jordan White's (the Xmen Editor) reaction from above just shows you how surprised they were with this result.

It was an unscientific poll, but that's still pretty cool.
And the art from mmx is still not bad, but not great.
I am excited fir MMX 6 the most. Year ago Gambit was far away from X-Men and even considered X-Men as Storm`s friends and not his in Gold. Rogue was only with Avengers.Now with MMX 1 and it seems MMX6 thei frrinds are with them again. Love it.Also can`t wait for Gambit family to appear.Excited what next villains in this series will be. Would love to see Candra and Sinister.
I said it before I will say it again this is a great time to be a Gambit fan. Marvel has been showing lots of interest with Gambit and he has been appearnicing in some really interesting books, games and action figures. Gambit after being added to recent games such as Marvel CoC and Puzzle Quest will soon be a playable character for the Marvel Future Fight game. The teaser looks dope.

Cool! Now I will download this game.
I was playing COC for months and couldn't open Gambit. I hope it will be easier to open him in Future Fight.
I just downloaded it and he will be available in the next patch 4.5. Just save bunch of free biometrics so when he becomes available you can get him in the game.

Is FF fun? Or CoC for that matter? I've been playing Puzzle Quest for a while with Gambit and it's fun but I'm in need of something different
he is a beast in Puzzle Quest.
MMX7 will start new arc Rogue and Gambit Forever. Mojo will be there.

KT: Yes. I don’t like to put the cart before the horse, but the next arc after “Rogue & Gambit Forever” should be a bit more Remy focused, fingers crossed!
I can't tell but based on comments here, it doesn't seem to be equal.
I've not read the series yet, but has the book so far been Rogue focused?
Thought this was called Rogue and Gambit? :P
Please don't take this wrong but that thread on CBR is butthurt all the time. If Rogue isn't front and center and important all the time to the detriment of any other character, they are not happy.
edit: they don't give a s*** about Gambit, they say they do but they don't. IMO

So, no sales watch? No obsession over it like in the past with other books G has been in? I tease.I remember CBR's last sales thread discussion. People were lamenting (and of course some gloating) about Domino's big drop between one and two. And Gail Simone (the writer) popped in briefly to say the book was doing better than those numbers reflected (because they weren't real numbers anyway) and the most interesting thing she said was that the store order issue two before they even get issue one. So issue two numbers aren't even based on how issue one sells, it based purely on what the store 'guess' issues one and two will sell.
I looked, the drop between issue 1 and 2 of Mr and Mrs X is more than half. Those variants didn't help as much I thought they would. As someone who likes variants, that stinks because if they can't help a book, less will get commissioned.

I have a response ....... give me a day. I like our discussion - and thank you in advance.
Isn't that how you are with Gambit? Isn't that why you won't read Mr. and Mrs. X? Because you don't think Gambit'll be better or even equal? That's not a bad thing and I definitely understand skepticism but it's a little bit of the pot calling the kettle black here. I mean you are definitely better about it than some people over there on the Rogue side and you aren't as... aggressive about it as some posters over there are who even get remydat to defend Romy to a degree. Anyway, mostly just making a joking observation and hope you don't take this bad. ;)
100% agree. I all but lectured them on their BS last week when that Jen character complained about Rogue now being nothing but "Gambit's Wife" because she isnt an active Avenger... Xel brought up how much thread activity had dropped and I pointed out that just because she's not in a book every week, doesnt mean you post. Us Gambit fans posted for years without a solid roster spot. It's like they cant talk to one another without saying how "awesome" what she did last week was. Also had to make sure they knew the UA was not the "flagship" title it was under Remender. That not even one thing that happened in that book survived it's cancellation. Of course they don't like reality and facts. But I also pointed out that it was kind of the opposite reaction from the Gambit fans. Being afraid of him being nothing but her husband. I find it funny that some people on both sides are saying the same thing, but in reverse. I think if everyone got over their individual bias, we could have some good conversations... not Jen, Cat, and Xel. Those three are crazy and treat Rogue like she's a real person. I find it disturbing. It's like they don't understand the only person to have genuine hate for is Fantomex. Everyone should hate Fantomex. Like, love to hate him... And hate, him, too. Passionately.

Loving the new design so much and it is always good to see Gambit showing off his skills.
I have a response ....... give me a day. I like our discussion - and thank you in advance.
Edit: Guess I don't have a response; you aren't wrong. It's all true, and I don't mind being the kettle.
I had a longer response but after typing it out and all that, I changed my mind. I can't justify anyone's wasted time on it. LOL
I'm only buying art (cover art), that is the best I can do for support.
Like I said that's fine. I don't even read or buy the comics anymore (outside of that one recent exception) because I guess I have a weird fandom for Gambit where even though he's my favorite I think my favorite version of him is one with Rogue involved or at least a possibility because I like him with her and as a hero and also for some reason Rogue's the only thing that anyone seems to let tie him to being one of the X-Men or a hero anymore.
Plus I really just got sick of Marvel after One More Day so when they also tanked Gambit and Rogue and especially the way they did I personally had no more reason to support their comics. I might pick Mr. And Mrs. X up in trade sometime but I don't think it's sounded as interesting or big as suddenly Gambit and Rogue are married in order to warrant me breaking my boycott, for lack of a better word, again. Certainly not anytime soon at least.
Just figured I'd point out that's how you treat Gambit in regards to Rogue and that's not a bad thing just a different side of the same coin. Everybody's fans of things for different reasons and I always feel like I have some weird abomination of a Gambit in my mind hearing how a lot of other fans describe him and what they like about him. Also, especially since the miniseries was apparently supposed to end them 'for good' as much as that's ever a thing in comics, I feel like once Mr. And Mrs. X is done Romy probably will be too. Hopefully I'm wrong because that would be just as silly but I haven't understood what Marvel's been up to for a long time now.
Oh good grief. Please don't be offended. This was why I wasn't going to spend time on any of this.
I listed what I'd like or how I view Gambit, I apologize for not saying that specifically.
:D
All good Purp, and thanks.
I am not offended. Sorry if my reply was bad. I apologize. Never meant anything bad.

Ummm... it seems they're on opposite sides.
That's the thing; there is so much more to Gambit. Asmus proved in my opinion that Gambit can thrive away from the X-Men or exist on the outskirts of their world. But you know what Marvel does? Slice off pieces of him and graft them onto other characters, and take chunks of his lore and add them to characters that have absolutely nothing do with it. Or take what makes him the coolest and water it down so much, it becomes a running joke. I think it goes to editorial allowing writers that are still jaded by their love of the 80s and disappointment of not seeing their favorites in the X-Men series take out their frustrations on the characters they see as the reason. Basically ignoring the amount of fandom he and others of his ilk.I was thinking about this ... the writers and their dislike for the 1990's characters and yet they create characters like Sharkgirl. And she is not called that in other places, far more derogatory in fact. I'm picking her out because I can't think of the others but not one of the new ones would ever get my attention. Yet, a character with a well built back story is treated like dirt. I don't get it.

This is a long post, you've been warned. I'll probably edit for spelling and dropped words, hoping not so bad you can't get my meaning. Okay, on with the show.
That is a sad thing, isn't it? The only thing tying Gambit to the Xmen is Rogue? That should never have been the case and that is on Marvel. I've said this plenty of times, there is more to Gambit than Rogue. It's Marvel's inability to show the hero side of Gambit. And when they do tie him to Xmen, there is so much interference and ego from all involved, you get nothing out of it.
Gambit's relationship with Wolverine, Iceman, Storm, X23, Jean and Cyke shouldn't be non-existent. He shouldn't need to be attached to Rogue to be a hero.
What's wrong is never actually developing Gambit beyond a solo or mini and actually building the friendships. One of my favorite bromance is Wolverine and Gambit - they had a mini together and when they stole the Batmobile, I laughed so much. Liu had them go on a road trip and I enjoyed that too.
I feel like the mini was approximately 20 years too late or at least for me. The mini clean up should have happened long ago to make the series actually make sense now. Having ups and downs would have been tolerable had the clean up actually happened when it needed to be. IMO. The divide between the groups may not be a strong as it is today had that happened but that is speculation on my part.
I recognized I'm the flip side of a coin, no different from the other side in views. The divide has been around a long time and there will be those two sides who never see eye to eye on the romy thing. Just the way it is, I'm used to it. The band aid of the mini or this series isn't going to fix what Marvel should have done long ago.
You did bring up a good point, once this all said and done, it could easily be ignored for whatever the next writer wants to do.
As long as there are writers who want to pair Rogue up with their favorite (KT included), then Rogue is also reduced to love interest, her camp isn't wrong there. Gambit is also not in a good place either because once Rogue is moved to another book, he gets sidelined.
I want a buddy book, if this can be done well on TV, it really shouldn't be so hard for a comic book. I read romance novels for hea's and romance and its done far better than a comic could ever do. That includes sci-fi or fantasy elements in the stories. There may be some ups and downs between the couple but in general, better written.
In the end, those who love this series, enjoy this book.
Hello albahan888,
Well thought out response. I enjoyed reading it.
My response will have some errors, I'll fix as I find them. :)
Re: The trust thing. That is a one a few sources of my ire with the coupling. I think in the beginning of the relationship as Marvel was working through this relationship, it seemed to be okay, as in tolerable in a new relationship. However, it was dragged on for far longer than needed in the relationship. At this point, the no trust thing needs to be addressed and put to bed. Its fake angst for the sake of drama. For some odd reason people who write don't know when to say when; when it comes to certain elements.
Re: Xtreme Xmen
I don't know if you are miss-remembering that book series or not but there are things that stand out for me. It's perplexing and makes my wonder about the "love" for it. Based on some elements laid out had the series continued, I suspect there would have been some drama for the couple.
I thought it odd, that as soon as Gambit and Rogue said they'd work on their relationship, that they were shipped out the book or put on the back burner for about 4 issues or so. And outside of showing their house and what they're up to, there was nothing more than, oh hey - they're a couple and sometimes the walk on the beach.
The kissing in XXM. Gambit kisses a naked Storm. He's been helping her cope with her injuries and they smooch. Gambit gets a bit more s*** for that despite the fact he tells Storm that his heart belongs to Rogue. He's merely trying to give her an ego boost. Probably a better way to do that but ... is what it is. I won't even deny, he shouldn't have kissed Storm.
Rogue kisses Bishop, and then she wraps her legs around his hips. Now, there are those who like to believe she didn't do that. She did, I'll attach the image. She may not have been lip-locked when her legs were wrapped around Bishop but the bottom line ... that isn't a believable situation. Yeah, I know, she's showing off she can touch people. Inappropriate if you are really trying a relationship with another guy. I'm tired of people not admitting that she wrapped her legs around Bishop.
Re: MMX
The problem hasn't changed from what I can tell. Rogue was never written to apologize in the mini until the last issue. That was an issue for me and still is, she says all these things but gets a hall pass. It would have been more heart felt, stating it earlier. Having Gambit telling her, she doesn't have to apologize was disappointing. Yes, she did.
I'm with Remydat with the power issue, who cares. I know I don't. These issues are long standing, power and trust - its been the backbone of the relationship for far too long. There was 20 years of this sort of thing, give or take a year or two in either direction. It needs to move forward and in whatever direction but these elements are overdone.
RE: Other relationships for Gambit. Not touching all the stuff with Rogue as I've said before, its whomever the writer of her wants her to be with. It shows no growth for her. What should have been for her is for her to realize she still cared about Gambit but that was never written. The mini and series aside, I mean the other books for which she had "relationships".
There is the blind eye to other characters and Gambit and it really is disappointing. There is an attraction between Polaris and Gambit (not revenge or any of that stuff for the record). And there is an attraction between Sage and Gambit. That is in the books. The point being whats good for the goose, good for the gander, as the saying goes. It's not explored because only Rogue can sow her oats, and Gambit's rep already supplies the ideology without doing anything.
Re: Gambit and the Xmen
We both agree this is an oddity with Marvel writing. Whether his bromance buddies are dead or not, it is hard to believe he's been around the Xmen all this time and is still on the outside looking in .... its unrealistic.
In general, while I don't expect a ton of realism in comic books; suspension of belief is reserved for powers, aliens, sci-fi and fantasy. There is no room for that with relationships. In fact, it would be better grounded with those things if the relationships were actually written better or more realistically. IMO.
BTW - we all have our rose tinted glasses, it just depends which things we wish to see or not see. LOL
Oof, another long one. LOL
I know, right? .... Yet Rogue's devotees won't even admit this actually happened in a book or how it looks.
Haha she didn't just wrap her legs around him, she locked them, and her crotch is right on top of his, with him looking shocked....that shock may be the kiss itself but it may also be a subtle suggestion she's grinding her cookie on his cod. The guy in the background seems to be surprised/worried looking AT where her butt is, implying there must be....something....going on there (movement/grinding, etc).
Eh, I don't see that as being Remy. Looks like just a guy in a brown suit jacket. The pink isn't the s*** but his guts.
First look at Gambit from Marvel Future Fight. Was lucky enough to catch the cinematic trailer featuring Gambit during the live stream on Facebook and it look amazing. The update will be available later today and Gambit looks dope.
https://twitter.com/Marvel_FFightUS/status/1054568092783820801 (https://twitter.com/Marvel_FFightUS/status/1054568092783820801)
Finally! Looks awesome. Started to play this game beforehand so I can open Gambit. His moves look cool and I liked trailer.
We can only get Gambit from getting 20 x-genes daily mission shop which is a bumper but he looks so awesome so will b getting him along with Nightcrawler.
These shope guarantees that you will get Gambit`s X-Genes or it will sepend from your luck again? ;D
The update will be at 11 pm on the 23rd October so you make the purchase after that. It is guaranteed that you will get 20 Gambit biometrics per day which will be about 600 bios in a month. You will need 630 to level him to 6*. I am not sure but you might be able to rank him up with a 2/3/4/5*star ticket and use m'kraan crystal to increase his mastery.
Check out the link for more information.

Will need to level up Rogue as I am sure she will have a synergy with Gambit along with Storm/Wolverine. Did you complete the X-Men mission and how many Tier 2 do have now with this game?
I have 3*Rogue that I will upgrade to 4* today. She is not interesting to play at all. Don`t like her in this game.
Wolverine I have only from X-men missions. He is 2 or 3 star. I got stuck on mission to collect some 1500 stones.
I think I don`t have any tier 2 so far.
How can I find you in game? I am purplevit13 there.
Variant cover for Champions.
Opened Gambit in Future Fight and he is very cool visually.
Got him up to level 40 now. Does the rank up tickets work for him?
Cool. Don`t know yet. I have a ticket only for 3* plus.
I got one 4* rank up n mastery ticket. Let's see if it works. Glad that I can get nightcrawler during the Halloween event.
Nothing for Gambit in X-Men RED 9.
Was a good issue but it reminded me so much of the last jedi.

That is Bachalo's signature thing with Gambit. He draws Gambit with the toothpick in all of his art.
I like Bachalo's art. Though I noticed lately he's giving Remy the toothpick.

Gambit looks like Cyclops on the panel. His outfit is questionable and so is Rogue's. I'll never understand all the love for Bachalo's art. I think it is and has always been ugly and rough.

Dog people don't understand ::)
2019 Marvel Legends Gambit will be released. Found this on twitter
Anyone else think something looks off about this? I'm very excited he's finally getting a ML figure and I will definitely get it the day it comes out, but there is something about it that just doesn't look right. He almost looks cartoonish.
Why won't that link work for me?no clue, doesn't work for me either. I can't even sign in with my account. I'm told its locked. I tried to sign up again to see if its a "member" issue and the site just sits there loading.
His had is off. Don't like how big is his face but small head with strange hair.
Gambit will be in the podcast Wolverine: The Lost Trail played by Bill Heck. https://www.marvel.com/watch/digital-series/earth-s-mightiest-show/wolverine-podcast-season-2-details-characters-revealed?linkId=59203300 (https://www.marvel.com/watch/digital-series/earth-s-mightiest-show/wolverine-podcast-season-2-details-characters-revealed?linkId=59203300)

I does look better than the Legends one. I might have to keep out at my shop for it.
Has a lot of moving parts based on the info at the link. I will guess its all plastic, that should make the price reasonable.
I was planning to get the Kotobukiya ArtFx+ statue since I prefer statues to articulated figures and I already have the Diamond figure. But this looks great. I don´t know what to do now.I prefer statues too. But this figure doesn't look bad. My concern would be all the pieces. Easy to lose. LOL

The cheapest option, and get it sooner since it wont need to go thru distribution.
gonna get him and psylocke preordered today. Wolverine sold out, but hes in stock at BBTS, so ill just get him that way.
The movie was ridiculously badly handled from front to back. It was embarrassing for fox..Tatum etc. Now if only kinburg would stop saying its going ahead😲😲
lol I like how some were finally convinced that this film wasn't happening was because of Tatum's recent haircut. Not the amount of directors exiting, or the script changes, or the filming delays...I totally agree. Was SO excited when film was announced years ago. But since then, Fox has done so much to damage the X-men brand, while the Marvel studios brand has become near invincible. Just seems like the best way to salvage the X-Men brand is to scrap any and all Fox related projects and let Marvel build them back when they come home.
"the HAIRCUT! It's over!"
Seriously though, I feel for the ones that kept defending the film...I wanted it to happen too a long while back, but it's becoming a farce and it was looking like a really bad film destined for failure.
That said, nothing's officially confirmed that it's NOT happening. But personally, I don't want this to go ahead anymore, and even some of the Gambit fans are over it too.
The worst part is going from having a Gambit solo movie to hoping he will ever show up in the MCU in a significant role.
Years ago, Fabian was asked about his thoughts of a Gambit movie and he thought that Gambit would be great on the small screen. That a TV show would suit the character better. I remember at the time thinking, what? No. A movie would be great. Now, I think he wasn't wrong. With Disney launching their own streaming service .... a Gambit adventure show wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

Was the second half of Fabian's run been collected?
$30 per book, I suspect. Cool.
Looking at these trades, Layman's is expensive for 13 issues. IMO. You are getting more issues with the other two trades. I guess its comparable.
Xmen Gambit - The Complete Collection Vol 2, release date 12/24/18 - look at that a Christmas present. At Amazon its $34.99.
I'll look into the price for the Asmus one but I thought that had been collected before.
edit: The Asmus one with 18 issues is also $34.99 from Amazon.
Holy PooP CBR ranked Gambit 8th https://www.cbr.com/x-men-greatest-leaders-ranked/ (https://www.cbr.com/x-men-greatest-leaders-ranked/)
Layman is a good guy - he most likely was given some "goals", like with Asmus.
I think having all the trades is good. Whether you like the author or not. I want them.
KT's will get collected. I'm sure. :)
Oh wow. Even above Rogue? I bet that will ruffle some feathers
He may be a fine guy but his Gambit run is my least favourite.
His Guilds were terrible and Gambit lost a fight to some Fish Man.
Layman's run was terrible the art was bad, the writing was bad, it didn't feel like a Gambit book at all
I'm glad you are enjoying MMX. :)
Editors have been a problem for a long time.
Yeah - I know. Which is too bad because Ketchum was good at the start.
Yeah. Even Ketchum who were fighting hard for Gambit solo made lame Gambir stories in other X books.
Will see what White will do with Gambit after AOX. We will have books reboot for sure with new projects.
MMX has it is strong and weak sides.
Will see how next big arc will end so I can make my final opinion on it.
Interesting.
You know that I like MMX much more so I will make more positive view of it :)
I don't agree that it has no characterisation for Gambit. Let's start ;)
Writing this from memory so I could forgot smth.
MMX 1
Gambit is reunited and supported by his friends with whom he hadn't spoken (some of them) for years.
Small but good lines with Storm, X-23, Bishop (More dialogue then Soule did for them in 12 AXM issues) , Bling (he was her mentor and I doubt that they would talk again in any other book) .
Normal action fight with Imperial Gurad.
MMX 2
Fine thieving skills with lockpic.
Twice blown up Deadpool.
Agile and cool fight with Space aliens.
MMX 3
Just amazing issue. Neko, you will like it!
Gambit makes plan how to defeat space ship that attacks them. Lead Deadpool to a fight. 2 dps of grwat fight. Wade is injured in fight twice but Gambit dodged everything. Cool ralk with Deathbird where he frightens her and she go away. He stos ship. Best Gambit in years.
Big characterisation at the end of issue where he told Rogue about his motives and moral compass.
MMX 4
Great skills ans plan where he makes escape from prison. One of the best Gambit scenss ever.
Not so much after this. Injured by Deathbird in a lame way.
MMX 5
Not a fan of issue. Kinda did nothing to save the day.
Had small but still cool fight.
Was shown as good husband I guess. Well, it is a book about new husband and wife after all.
I will take good fights over characterization, now.
Gambit best fights were years ago in a books that current writers won't even read to macke a character study.
He need new stable fights to show how cool, agile and great h2h he is.
Of course good characterization he also needs.
I'd appreciate it... If you guys didn't bring up X-Factor. Such a wasteful usage of paper.
All I can say to this is … WOW - Gambit needs both.
I'm actually starting to think that KT has no idea how to end an arc with these two. Two arcs under her pen and they both ended on a "meh" with some interesting parts.
I wonder .. is it because of panel space, do they (writer and all) need to manage it better- knowing you only have so much space to work with a thing.
Yeah. It seems arc ending isn't her strongest side as writer.
Bur I think it is a problem with a lot of writers, really.
Yeah. It seems arc ending isn't her strongest side as writer.
Bur I think it is a problem with a lot of writers, really.
I'm looking forward to the next issue as it seems to be the gateway for the next arc. It looks to be centered around their holiday/engagement party and KT excells in that "slice of life" style of story and I can't wait to read more interactions between the two and the other X-Men.
Ooh, what happened?
Nothing yet, but the next arc is supposed to deal with the Guilds. The next issue is probably going to seed a few things for that. I assume anyway. It'll revolve around their holiday/engagement party, but I suspect it's more of a vehicle to explore reactions to their wedding now that the dust has cleared.
Next arc will be Mojoverse. Guilds will be issues 11 and 12.
That far away? That's an arc away! I thought the guilds came first!
ill just leave this here
Didn't know it was out today. Is it a collection of short stories?
Issue #1 ... so a bunch of shorts coming our way?
Yeah, they're all a page long focusing on different characters, each with different creative teams
Issue #1 ... so a bunch of shorts coming our way?
Looks like the same figure that came out in 2011. Is it a rerelease or 2nd production run?I don't know. It could the same as 2011. The LLC copyright is dated 2018, its from Diamond Select Toys and Collectables. I thought new since there was so many of them in the shop I was in, maybe its an older item.

dude thats awesome, you should be working for Marvel. Have you ever thought about illustrating some fan fiction?
gimme links :) unfortunately i have no cool ideas only uncool one's :P
Thanks, man! I made Portfolio and tried to break into comics but so far everyone ignores me:) Will try to do a new one that will be better.
If you have some cool idea for fanfiction I will be glad to help.

Don't worry about that Purp, I'm certain lots of folks here would love to see your art. You are really good at the craft. Share please. :)
Do :)
I will pm you so I want hijack Gambit Watch thread:)
On CBR there was a post- we're getting a Gambit centric issue and then a Rogue one. All I can say, its been one long Rogue issue all along. There is no need for a Rogue centric issue from the ongoing, since all we're reading about is her. IMO.i honestly dont understand were alot of the guildies are pulling this Rogue centric stuff from, you are focusing way to much on Rogue and not enough on the awesome s*** Remy does, the books been 50/50 if anything all the Rogue changes and plot points has just made her a worse character i feel sorry for her fans,

You mean me and possibly Remydat. LOL. Joking aside, Gambit doing stuff with no development is most likely the issue. Rogue is getting content, Gambit is not. Good or bad, there is nothing new for him. His character hasn't changed other than his marital status. Keep in mind that is just me. :)

Keep in mind that is just me. :)ok but look at the development Rogue has gotten, i for one am glad he hasnt gotten that treatment, while nothing life altering apart from his marriage has happened he is still written smart and shown to be a competent fighter there is alot of positive to focus on with the book, which like the marriage wont last long , UXM has already gotten bad imo really glad he wasn't involved in that. i get you want more as we all do but for now this is it sadly , im not a fan of KT but its a good Gambit
Oh how the mighty have fallen that we are suppose to be excited that Gambit looked good against no name Shi'ar and characters that appear in the books once every decade or so.every comic book character fights no name soldiers its not exclusive to Gambit, Rogue fought the same people, your arguement with Deathbird is petty, she has taken down the X-Men before all while they were looking at her too btw , she is a SUPERHUMAN Alien she has gone toe to toe with Gladiator and other X-Men and defeated them too,she didnt exactly defeat him either he got straight back up, Gambit scared her off with just words earlier in the Arc and no it wasnt a trick by Deathbird pretending to retreat she actually feared what he would do, also in the same issue he used his powers in a creative way too, Gambit is being used in creative ways in this book.
Sorry not impressed. At least with the Asmus solo which didn't have Gambit taking down top notch fighters, we got loads of development and creative use of his powers to compensate.
What we have here is fights against Z list characters, zero development, zero creative use of powers, and getting defeated by D list characters that look him in the eye, taunt him and then spear his ass. But that is supposed to be ok because he dodged nameless Shi'ar solider #1. Whoop de f**king doo!
I still say Gambit's best feat was taking out the Starjammers (well Skrull star jammers) single handed, before taking out Gladiator. He should be able to solo Deathbird imho.i agree , yeah he got speared while looking at her but he was getting back up, it didn't put him out, we don't know how the fight would have gone because Xandra and Rogue went poof and disappeared

He used to have some cool feats. Like charging the train to power up Bishop before taking on Sinister.
The Daken fight could have been better but overall, if not for X23 - but it was her book.
Partnering up with Wolverine in Madripoor.
We're not getting any of those things now.
Hellcarier and his dictating to Thor definitely in my top 10 Gambit moments.Not just Thor, he took charge of both Avengers and X-Men
Is Gambit even in this book? The variant looks good. Thanks purplevit.
He is not in book.

Mad is definitely in my top 5 of all time , his art got so much better as his run went on, pity he was so slow though, its the reason 350 had fill in pages
So this person severely effed up Gambit's backstory... Or is this the story that Carey retold?Like Marvel itself, pick and choose history - forget the books. LOL

Another great find Romeo! I wonder who the artist is on these cards, they're all really cool. And a phoenix force Gambit would be amazing. Now I'm also wondering what type of card game these are for.

I was hoping this was gonna be an Old Man version of Gambit but apparently it's not. Kelly Thompson confirmed that it's not Gambit on twitter: https://twitter.com/79SemiFinalist/status/1098389429461278720 (https://twitter.com/79SemiFinalist/status/1098389429461278720) It would've been awesome to see a future Gambit in X-Force.dont buy it its basically wallpaper also funny part Logan says he's unlocked all the fights he's had around 10 thousand and asks gusess how many he's won, lol we know he didnt beat that version of Gambit so 9999
I might have to check out Return of Wolverine #5, Gambit appearing as somebody that Logan has fought has peaked my interest.
Brand new charcter that looks like Gambit. Very creative.its an alt version of gambit, it has to be theres an alt Storm, ffs KT
unfortunately the interior art in this book is horrendous
The preorders are open for the Marvel legends Gambit.This is one great looking Gambit toy, his face makes him look badass. I've never even heard of Mezco but their toys look awesome.

https://www.cbr.com/fantastic-four-rupert-wyatt-gambit/ (https://www.cbr.com/fantastic-four-rupert-wyatt-gambit/) its all Josh Tranks fault
well that's limited kinda, X-Force, Thunderbolts, New Warriors, eXcaliber, FF, but if they were to join one i'd put money on West Coast Avengers because KT writes that garbage and technically even though Rogue was on the Avengers she wasn't on the West Coast team :)KT writes garbage? LOL Sorry ... I've thought that for a long time but when I say it .... its a debbie downer thing. LOL
Know I am teasing you, DantayKT writes garbage? LOL Sorry ... I've thought that for a long time but when I say it .... its a debbie downer thing. LOLive always said she isnt a good writer though :) sooooo :P
Either she is great or she is awful. LOL I suppose bias plays in with the characters.
Again, nothing meant in any negative way toward you or anyone. Just thought it was funny is all. I do have a warped sense of humor. :crazy2:
I don't think it's that black or white. Remender's X-Force was legendary but his follow up with Avengers was a big mess. Like anything, youll do some things better than youll do other things. I like MMX, I gave Wca a try and bailed on #2. I skimmed Cap Marvel and put it back on the rack.Remenders UA was just a rehash of his UXF run, similar plots even his Thor stuff was similar

Wolverine: The Lost Trail Gives Fans The Gambit They've Been Waiting Foris this set in the movie verse?
https://screenrant.com/wolverine-lost-trail-gambit-fans-waiting/ (https://screenrant.com/wolverine-lost-trail-gambit-fans-waiting/)
"We don’t say “Gambit and Wolverine,” We say "Remy and Logan." We’re human first, and that strengthens the fun and the magic.”
"Some of the comics have a lot of Cajun going on, just in the text and the writing, and some don’t really touch it at all. We’re creating our own world, imagining what’s going to make sense for people to hear, what’s going to not take us out of it, what’s gonna let us really dive into it.”
is this set in the movie verse?
Dantay, did Thieves Guild had ever some symbol? I am drawing some fanart. And wanted to add some small symbols that will mean Guilds or something from them. Any ideas?nothing really comes to mind, other than symbols that they drew on Gambits chest while he was being excommunicated in Gambit issue 1 but nothing distinguishable also check out Gambit issue 13 page 5 i think, Gambits Grandfather has chest drawings and there are banners all around with symbols on them, Issue 21 also and there was a theory years ago and i don't know if it came from a writer interview or fan fiction but Gambits magenta lines on the legs off his costume are a marking of his skills as a thief,

yeah and like the more you have the higher your standing, in the ongoing he had loads going all the way up and even down his sleeves, check issue 21 page 4,5,8 & the last one
Thank you! I think symbols from 13 p5 is exactly what I need.
Interesting idea of magenta markings on his legs. Like in Asmus he told that his clothes became his costume or uniform.

Maybe you also know rumour that Hickman hates Gambit? Or where it came from?Never heard that, but he is a more old school fan as in pre 90s so who knows
It seems X books will be relaunched this July and it seems that Hickman will write main books. Reveal will be this Saturday at C2E2.
Never heard that, but he is a more old school fan as in pre 90s so who knows
Has anyone heard Wolverine the lost trial featuring Gambit which is available now?
Not yet but I hope to listen it soon.
I don`t expect Gambit to appear before Episode 3, really.
KINBERG: “The latest is we’ll see, like honestly since the merger happened I think all of the movies that are at Fox, not just the Marvel movies but all the movies at Fox are being evaluated and they’ll figure out what they want to do with them.”“I’d love to see it happen, I love the idea of Channing [Tatum] playing Gambit, I think we have a great script and I think it was a role he was born to play. It’s a character I grew up loving and I know the fans love, so I suspect/hope it’ll happen.”
Studio is always the one to pull Gambit, Donner has been trying to get him in the movies since the first one, then theres the fact that the X-Men films are total s***e , at the time X2 was awesome, and First class and DoFP were good but taking off the rose tinted glasses they are not good films at all, the truly great ones are the ones the studio had less of a hands on with, Deadpool and Logan, they were awesome Deadpool 2 was great too just not as good as the first one imo
Sure, he loves Gambit so much that didn’t include him in any of his scripts. I don’t doubt he likes the idea of Tatum as Gambit though solely because of the financial potential it could’ve had when it was first announced. Tatum’s been so out of the picture lately that I doubt he’s still a box office success. Now we'll never know.
I put this in the gambit movie news. .....interesting hes still pushing Tatum when CT has not said anything about it in ages

Hey, guys. Took a mini-hiatus from the site but wanted to share a couple really cool experiences I had at Planet Comicon this last weekend.
I was down at Planet Comicon this weekend and got my Gambit #1 signed by Nicieza and he gushed about how much he loved book and Skroce's art. It was really cool. He also said he was working on a Gambit novel back in the day and if I liked that series, I would've really liked the novel. It was supposed to be ~500 pages and he got around 275 done before Marvel pulled the plug on it and a few other books some people were writing.
Also, I got my 266 signed by Claremont and he talked to me about his original plans for Gambit and Sinister. I knew a lot of it already, but I was just thrilled to have a conversation with Claremont about my favorite Comic Character.
Wow! So awesome!!! Happy for you :) I just love such positive posts so much ;)
I don't know if this has been known already and I missed it or if anyone really cares about this but I'd still recommend watching this video if you do care because apparently Zachary Levi is a Gambit fan (like most 90s X-Men fans I think). The Gambit part starts around 2:43. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAvp-STLxeM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAvp-STLxeM) Just found this interesting and wanted to share.
White`s answer.
AiPT!: OK, Jordan, whatever you say here is sure to be divisive, so tread carefully. But Marvel Mythos Podcast (@MarvelMythosPod) wanted to know… who is canonically sexier: Gambit or Cyclops?
Jordan: Gambit. Come on. Look–that is not an insult to Cyclops. He’s a good looking man, and as we have covered in depth, he has no problem attracting women. But Gambit is Gambit. Sexy is his super power. Besides, Cyclops is a long-term relationship guy, a serial monogamist. Gambit is a one-night-stand. He’s all sex, no commitment. Sorry, Rogue, you know it’s true. Keep your eye on that one.
It is from A+X 6. Gambit and Thing story.That was a fun story. I liked it quite a bit. Wished they had not changed the cover for that issue.

Amazing, is the Diamond shape in the chair with a red background a nod to Sinister or a happy coincidence?
Gambit appeared ...sort of, in the last Avengers weekly comic issue, No Road Home i think its called, also looks like the Ongoing is gone, unless im blind https://www.cbr.com/marvel-comics-solicitations-july-2019/ (https://www.cbr.com/marvel-comics-solicitations-july-2019/)

yup yup
If I remember correctly it was a special issue of All new X-men Monster Unleashed feat. Gambit and it was a really cool self contained story.

White got asked that there were no fan favorites like Psylocke, Rogue and Gambit on HOX POX covers. White guarantees that they will appear in a comic at some point between July and December.
That means no Gambit for months. I doubt he'll be in this event.
Now I think it would be funny if they cast his brother in the roleomg - yes!!! LOL
Oh and for anyone interested in X-Men Grand Design. Gambit will likely be in the final chapter which will be released in June 19...(not far off)

He's on the cover.
That's Joe Mad's art from a while back on instagram, so it must've led to this. Beautiful cover, maybe because it reminds me of the late 90's and the snow could be an Antarctica reference.
Q: Thank you for the the best year of my life with Me and Mrs X. You took my two favorite mutants and made them shine, and not only that but grow and mature and learn to drop the petty stuff. To lean and depend on each other. I don't know what Marvel has plan for them but they better still be married, and I hope you will be writing them again.
A: Thank you so much!It meant the world to me to get to chart a new and exciting course for them…I hope it will stand the test of time (as much as something can in comics). I’m so grateful so many fans came along for the ride and fell in love…or fell in love again! No plans for writing them right now unfortunately…but maybe someday!

Take with grain of salt and some tequila. :) I don't want her writing Gambit. We've seen people put down Liu, Layman and whomever else. The MMX writer was the worst writer of Gambit for me, because she didn't write him. All she cared about was Rogue. Believe or don't, either way, if she got the opportunity, it would be about the one character I have no vested interest in. Again, tequila and salt. :)

Have you had the chance of reading the last couple of issues ?I did, they are the only ones I have read. I have not commented on issue 12 for a variety of reasons. I have skimmed the other issues of the ongoing and I did read the mini.
Marauders team looks lame. X-Force has too many characters. X-Men has lame Summers Grey line up.
We got the best book I think. Not a huge team and a lot that I really like. I see a lot great potential for Gambit there.
Looks alright, just read that Apocalypse is central to the book and Rictor is one of the writers favourites. Lets hope they give Gambit a decent role
One of the pros for me is that he's with Jubilee.
Very dynamic. I like it.

Wrote an article about the books. I don't know who Tini Howard is really and from her track record and past work, I don't trust her. Like at all. This would have been a better book for like Asmus or even Thompson who both at least have some knowledge and practice using Excalibur lore. Books looks as weird as her resume and Gambit placed in the wrong hands can turn into a full blown clown. I'll give it a shot, but I'm weary.
I can't see it either. It must be this:

So did Gambit show up in any of the new stuff yet or are we waiting for the end of the month for his first appearance?
Ho can they say ‘coming soon’ but not confirmed, ugh!
Only Excalibur 1 at the end of October.
Maybe it's in its early stages so Funko hasn't officialized it yet? The info seems legit though I'm positive it'll come out (just hope it doesn't come in a pack with Rogue).
I saw the specifications of the two pops on the same post.

That's why I thought they might come together. And there haven't been news on other X-Men pops so far.
Anyway, just happy that a Gambit pop is finally coming out.
Once again guys I'm totally lost. Why is Apocalypse hanging around the X-Men now?
But if they do bring Deathbit back I want him to have new powers again. This time he can corrupt cats and then summon them from a hidden dimension, using his Deathcats as minions in combat.Bring on Deathcats or Demoncats either would work or both as minions. LOL
... I probably shouldn't be allowed to write for Marvel.
I'm not mad ... Just bored and disappointed.It felt off as do all the books coming out of HoX & PoX , Rogues Powers have been retconed again she doesnt have full controll over them like she did at the end of Mr& Mrs X, Gambit is being writtin they way Milligan wrote him, He's got balls but is an idiot, this is A Betsy & Poccy book disguised as a team book, apart from those two any of the other character could be replaced
The script was hard to follow in several places. Jubilee's usage felt forced and unnecessary. Gambit was flat. Apocalypse wasn't impressive at all. Rogue was almost unrecognizable. I think me and remydat could rework this story into something more cohesive and exciting. As is, it's a big ball of meh, for me. I'll give it another book before I stop talking about it but keep buying it in secret because I'm such a Gambit nerd.
I'm not committing to this book. At 5 bucks for 20 pages of content. No. And with a character I loathe to boot and another treated poorly based on what I've seen here. I'm just not going to do that anymore. Oh well, there is always other hobbies I can indulge in. LOL
Thanks! I appreciate the heads up. Its not just the price of the book, and while gas isn't horrendous, its a long drive to the shop too.
You won't like this book. And if my theories are correct of what's foreshadowed, you'll hate it even more.
I like Betsy, so the story is fine for me. But the Gambit stuff? Might anger a few here...
I'm already convinced he's going to be blind, racky, and Death within 6 months.Well, we'll have to see how well you do with your predictions; Nostradamus (I mean Zoks). wink LOL

Also, I read the thread at the other place, is Rogue complaining about her powers again? Yikes, is that true? What does it take to put that issue with her on the history self and move forward.
I wasn't expecting continuity to be followed with these two, even though the Rogue & Gambit series is only a 1 to 5 issue storyline that's only a year old and Mr. and Mrs. X is only a 12 issue storyline that ended 3 or 4 months ago... but that's what happens when you have hacks who haven't given a rats ass about continuity in decades.
How can you have continuity when 'time is broken'?
You mean greater Marvel? Possibly. If you mean after House of X and Powers of X then you misunderstood the story? Time is intact.
The setup for time being broken is that time is in some way a living thing. That time-travel abuses have broken it, wounded it. Before, minor alterations would self-correct and major alterations would branch the timeline. Now, things were actually being rewritten. It's why we keep seeing mutations coming and going without explanation for characters like Beast or Anole. Things that were suppose to happen keep trying to happen in different ways, Archangel's repeating storylines. Kitty's three marriage proposals in a short period of time, each getting closer to a wedding but ultimately not happening. Doop, Star-Lord, Colossus... What wedding of Kitty Pryde's got erased that time is trying to correct for? I could make a list of all this stuff(actually, I am working on it).
Moira further altering time by rewriting it every time she dies isn't going to heal time, it's just going to break things even more, probably past some sort of tipping point...
Urmm, perhaps. House of X and Powers of X is a retcon of the past. All of Moira's lives have no impact on the next, which is why she's able to make different choices based on past experiences. The current timeline is the 616 main timeline. All the changes we're seeing in Krakoa are happening in real time, so the only change is the fact that Moira enacted a scheme she set up in the past. Everything we've known to happen to the X-Men since the 60s happened. However, the means and reason for several actions were retconned.
I brought up the greater Marvel Universe, by which instill believe is screwed up is because of what happened during Age of Ultron, the Apocalypse Twins and Secret Wars. The Avengers literally broke time and then space/time was shattered and glued back together, shattered and then reformed.
That's not what happened in HoX/PoX Moira didn't pull a Legion and go back in time and create a new 616. Her stories were all retconned leads up to the 616. Basically everything she did predated the 616 universe... Hope that makes sense.
Interesting theory ... But that's not how time works. I too didn't believe this was the real 616 but editors have assured me via Twitter that it is. Due to the retcon, it means that Moira has always been a mutant. Its not something that was changed. There is no "zero" life however there is the possibility of Moira having at least one more life to burn. The 616 is her 10th life. Destiny told her she has 10 or 11. I'd bet anything that 11 was dropped as a means to build suspense. Moira at some point will have to burn her last life. Next year, two, five years from now Marvel has the means to hit the reset button. I'd look at that life rather than hold my breath for a zero time line.
Yes. All Marvel current Star Wars comics are canon for movies.
It won`t surprise me if in a few years Marvel will reset 616 with some New MCU 52 where all new books will be a canon for MCU movies too.
Feige controls Marvel comics now too.
What the hell is Jubilee's problem? Better said, what is Tini smoking? Jubilee and Gambit get along fairly well. Better than fairly well. If Wolverine is A, Gambit is B. Why would she talk about him like that? Ah crap, I'm going to have to drop this, aren't I?
I think Jubilee is just joking with him, to try and distract Gambit a bit from worrying about Rogue. Which is why Gambit makes the 'in't in a joking mood' comment right after...
WTH is wrong with women writers and comic books. How is it they don't understand certain characters.
I read plenty of books written by women and they write men so much better than the last one and current writer in charge of Gambit.
I agree with this. Even Marjorie Liu, who wrote Gambit well, made him too soft at times (hated his relationship with Cecilia Reyes). Apparently he's too much of a boyfriend material to not be used in this role.It would seem she started the trend. But at least she had him do some good things. Jumping off a building and not hurting himself, his fight against Daken. Yes, KT had him jumping and throwing cards. The difference is story line. Liu did give Gambit story, all KT did was make him love interest and nothing more. There really was no story for Gambit. There isn't anything added to his lore beyond getting married.
Most so-called "writers" at Marvel, DC, IDW and others either don't know the characters very well or they simply don't care. Just go to one of those websites where you can read comics for free, because they don't deserve your hard earn money.Thank you for this! It really is a great option. You are right, they don't deserve hard earned money.

For goodness sake, is anyone else having a hard time reading this book or do I need to see a neurologist?!
This book was nonsense. Nothing flows. Its a jumbled up mess of an attempt at constructing narrative! What the heck is going on here? How did this get past editorial? Effing Shogo?! What happened to Apocalypse's vocabulary? Why is no one asking why Betsy's dressed like her brother? Where is her brother? Why is that not a big deal? What the @&#& is going on with Gambit? Where did that portal come from? Is Apocalypse a god now?!
Definitely a slow burn for Gambit's role. Comics can be frustrating when you are reading a book for a character in a secondary role. I am interested in what Apocalypse is doing. And I hope something interesting comes out Rogue situation.
That's fair but I'm enjoying the heck out of other books that don't have Gambit in it. If he wasn't, I would have given this book a shot still. The only thing that kept me in this far is his inclusion. I would have dropped this book after issue 1. To be fair, I'm not feeling Marauders too much either, haven't read 2 yet, but 1 was all about Kitty, and frankly I'm over that angle in X-Men. However, I want to see where Bishop's investigation goes.

Gambit Is Here to Sweet Talk with New Beast Kingdom Figure
Cancelled my subscription for Excalibur. If you are not Betsy not matter what you will do will happen off panel or won't be important.It takes a lot to discourage a Gambit fan.
Gambit charged shield and next panel shows explosion just as wallpaper while other characters are talking as front and center.
Book is very bad. Won't buy it and support.
Its not worth reading. Not because Gambit isn't doing much, but because it's not a good book outside of art.
Love the art, l am Interested in where they are taking Rogue and Gambit. D&D feel of the book,'why not? See where it goes.
Agree with Don. Anyone still reading, keep us up to date. Good, bad or indifferent. :)
...whats the clifhanger?
really? Wow. Sounds bad, I went to the site, Romeo gave us, I just can't get myself to read this book. LOL
A literal cliff. Gambit fell off a cliff. Also he still sucks.
