X-Treme was probably the last time she actually told Gambit she loved him too. Unless someone knows of a more recent moment, that's pretty sad.
Anyway, another former crush/flame for Rogue, check. How many are left now? I thought I read somewhere that the Sentry thing was explained away, so that just leaves the flame brain, right?
Yawn.
Okay, so I probably would be more... invested... in MMX if they had started it with Thieves Guild issues instead of the way it's gone. First couple of issues I was carefully examining the panels and text for all the details, but in the last couple I've just found myself sort of speed reading through, nearly skimming. I see a Gambit panel and I slow down for a bit, then speed up again as soon as I see Rogue.
So on the plus side, we get to see Gambit unequivocally state that he is the best thief, ever. On the negative side, that's just a tie-in for the next comic. At the end, why is he being chased already? I hope there is an explanation because for the 'best thief ever' to be getting chased before he's even really started... yeah.
Then we get Rogue, with power control attempt number blahblahblah. Maybe this one will stick for more than a year, assuming it succeeds. Trying not to be cynical is really hard.
As for the not-so-subtle 4th wall comments about love triangles and controversy and people liking them... well, I'm definitely not in that camp of liking them, so if it was supposed to be sarcastic then it was spot on. The irony is that most of the time they are only referred to as a 'triangle' because of the 3 people. If it was a true triangle there would be a 'love' connection with all three equally, but generally there is at best ambivalence between two of the people, and hatred at worst. Just one of those things that grinds my gears.
I guess calling it a 'love upside-down v' is too much of a mouthful.
