Thats all he has ever beat up for years, its a valid criticism and certain one that we've heard before no matter who is writing him.True, but this time, it was a lot of no names and not just one or two like usual. And he did 'take out' Deathbird (whose a little higher up the villian food. Jain) though not in a direct fight, so some strategy as well.
That part made me laugh so hard. The last 10 years we have only seen his be close to his original self was during the axis event when he fought Polaris and when he was under the influence of the Shadow King. Even in his recent solo series he fighting skills were above average.
Good work. My favourite part: It’s been a long time since he’s demonstrated this level of fighting prowess (without being mind-controlled), confidence, and during his dealings with Deathbird, diplomacy
I was actually surprised that they gave such a big plot point to this book. It says a lot for what KT will be allowed to do in the future.
Here's my full review; http://boundingintocomics.com/2018/09/21/comic-book-review-mr-and-mrs-x-3/
I have been enjoying Mr&Mrs X series. I would say this was the best issue so far. I think Deadpool was taking too much oxygen from the story, but he tends to do that in most of his appearances. Strongest character beat for Gambit thus far was DP/his raid on the ship against Deathbird. Also making clear about his moral compass with Rogue was nice.Gambit is a hero just like the rest of the X-Men.
In general I have liked Gambit's character trajectory in 2018. In the darkest days post Xtreme X-Men, I felt Marvel was allowing people to write Gambit without any respect for the character. Never mind that they had no real plans to make use of him. Now Gambit is being written just as well as any character in any book he is appearing in.
I am quite interested in the fate of Xavier/Lilandra child. Much more in fact than the fate of the 1960's teen X-Men when or if they return home.
