X-Men are all the rage again. Whether we agree with the saturation of the market, or not - it's happening. I think it's only fair that our favorite Cajun got in on the fun. We all know that prior to the train wreck that Excalibur has become, Gambit was part of two duo-series alongside Rogue, and played a role in Astonishing X-Men, as well as a couple stints in X-Men: Gold. Seeing him stuck in the book that he's in right now is kind of a bummer, but we have been teased with hope. Marvel-darling Donny Cates has shown interest in writing a solo series for Gambit. Cates may not be anyone's first choice - but with the amount of clout and the great track record he has, it's not a bad bet. From the standpoint of sheer muscle and influence, we could do a lot worse. With Cates would come a measure of freedom most Gambit writers have ever had, short of Fabian Nicieza and Chris Claremont.
Here's my question for the Guild. What could a Gambit solo series look like in today's X-Men infested-world? I want your wishes and your expectations. One rule - you have to keep in mind what's happening. Krakoa exists, mutants have diplomatic immunity, if they die they're 'reborn', Gambit is the leader of the ITG etc. Again, if it's Cates, someone that's been given control over an entire company-wide crossover event. I think this would be the first time in years that Gambit would really be able to explore the Marvel universe without having all the writer's ideas turned down. Cameo's and and top-tier guests wouldn't be a thing of the past any longer. Well, GG, what do you want to see?
