Loved it! Beautiful art and good story.
Gambit was written good and others respects him.
Favorite issue so far.


Can't wait for next issue!

Glad to see Gambit as a competent part of the team. The art has improved a lot too.

This was a great issue with lots of great moment and wonderful art from Carnero. I didn't enjoy Asrar work at all and thought he drew every character very similarly.  Carnero work provide Each character with expressions and facial characteristics that make them individuals.

So, has Gambits accent disappeared from the comics?

He drops a dis and a chère in this issue so not completely I guess.

Enjoyed this issue more than others so far. I can honestly say this and the last were of my favorite. The artwork was soooooo much better, however, I've seen her other work and it's smoother than this. It might be whoever is handling the coloring. Not sure if she does her own ink but it's still got that "muddiness" I dislike. I appreciate the background work for Gentle, but it felt out of place. And why did he make such a big deal about feeling Trinary's hand? Can he not feel? I'm not familiar with the character enough. That point probably should have been inserted.


Outside of a handful of eye-roll worthy moments in the banter, the damn sentinel and Gabby (she's annoying), this was a good read.


3.9/5

It is amazing how one panel that doesn't even say much at all can convey a level of confidence and confidence I haven't seen in Gambit since his solo ended.


It's basically his version of "To me, my X-men," in a way that is authentic to him.

I'd be totally fine with Gambit, Kurt, and Laura operating as their own subdivision in this book. Great trio.

I agree. I hope next issue will be as good for him and heist will go well.


RED feels more and more in a good manner like Liu`s AXM for me. Gambit was leading small groups of team in Liu`s book too.

Yeah, it's great seeing Gambit lead the op. I hope we see more of him taking on a leading role in this book, after Jean.


I hate the red X on his uniform, though.
