Prior disclaimers still stand.
I get it, I know there are those who enjoy this mini and will treasure it and all of that. I think that is great. I'll always love Gambit's first mini. It just holds a special place. I can see it holding special place for those who romy.
There is problems with this mini, like there was with Mackie's. However ... Mackie had more pages to work with. And there is only so much that can be done in 20 pages.
It's the glossing over of some things. And fans are glossing things over or are not as bothered by those things.
Those things that bother me:
Issue #1 in the #metoo movement environment was a huge one and if sales is an indicator, I'm not wrong on that. The promo piece for which the writer tried to quell wasn't wrong.
Rogue has not apologized, she has not taken ownership of her own misdeeds and she is one half of the equation, so far - its all on Gambit.
Gambit crying for the reason given is very fanfic like, mostly women write that sort of thing with male characters. The reason needed to be stronger with more resonance.
That said - I'm genuinely happy for those who are enjoying this book and can easily over look its faults.
I'm happy for the romys who finally got their book.
edit:
For the record: I have supported this book with my dollars. I did that for Gambit - but other Gambit only fans bailed after issue 1 and they didn't come back (look at sales). That is on the writer.
@Don, in case you haven't seen the tweets at the other place in the romy thread, guess what is getting a nod ........ thats right buddy .... those cats!!!!
