First lewks at Gambit #1 and time to ask CC some well-thought questions. C'mon GG, let's come up with some good ones!

You just send questions in on the bottom of the page?

[NicoPony]

Yes, there’s a basic form at the bottom. I have too much anxiety to actually go through with it. I have a hard time even tweeting without wanting to immediately delete my account, crawl under a rock and not come back for 7 years.

Thanks, Nico!
Solicits sounds awesome and and I am excited and ready for action, intrigueand revenge!
Cover where Gambit is showing card trick to small Storm is cute but all covers are forgettable really. Excpected better.


Sent my questions.
Hopefully released solicits means that book will be in May solicits, finally.

It is just a rumor but I think it is right. So check if you don`t afraid of Doc Strange 2 Spoilers.


I warned



It seems that Xavier in Multiverse of Madness in XTAS version.
Old leak showed Xavier in his floating yellow chair and other stuff. Other stuff got confirmed to be true with a second trailer.


Also MM2 trailer has teases of Savage Land and animated universe.
[/size]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nqmd-2Uo903:20 for animated stuff.


It seems that XTAS team would be canon in MCU.
X-Men 97 can start after Xavier death in MM.[/size][/spoiler]
Also Wolverine (not Jackman) is rumored for MM2 too.

Dagnabit. But why do we keep asking CC about his original intentions for Gambit? I think Gambit fans must like a touch of masochism.


Hm...little afraid this is going to be the Adventures of Lil Ro with her sidekick, Gambit. But the Stormy temper-tantrum page is pretty darn cute.

Doctor Strange was THE most confusing movie to me, I was dizzy. Add a multiverse to this, and I will be completely lost. That What If..? Doc Strange episode was the one that made me say: Why am I watching this. I do not enjoy this.


If this is how the X-Men are introduced to to MCU, I don't know what to think.

I know. How many times do we have to hear about it? And he goes on and on and on. We get it. Your eventual take on the character was going to make him less beloved by fans. Just another clone character who wouldn't have rivaled Wolverine at his peak popularity, never got romantically involved with Rogue to become one of the hottest couples of all time in the comics, and you would've made some bizarre abusive relationship with a teenage Kitty Pryde. Thanks for creating him but the character has done just fine for himself after you left. It's like he thinks his idea would've been so much better.


That leads me to hoping he does the right thing with this series. I'm starved for some good Gambit content. I don't want him to drastically alter something in his past. I also don't want Gambit to be lil' Ro's sidekick either.

[NicoPony]

Probably it’s easier for Claremont to talk about what’s not gonna happen than for him to give us deets on the upcoming book. That’s what I’m telling myself about why he’s so long winded on that question (which, did he pay someone to ask it?).

[NicoPony]

ICYMI - Gambit makes an appearance in X-Men #9.

Gambit and Rogue show up on a garbage space station full of thugs hoping to both charm intel about Gameworld out of the ne’er do wells hanging out there. Destiny is already there and tells them they’re wasting their time. Some thug tells Gambit to give him his coat and Gambit gets punched in the face. Then Rogue and Gambit throw over the whole place while Gambit and Destiny get to know each other better. Well, Destiny hates Gambit and says he’s all of her ‘disappointments made flesh.’ Now the whole time she’s dissing him, he’s protecting her from evil aliens while she sits and drinks a martini. Destiny also says Rogue belongs at hers and Mystique’s side in the fight to come. Completely unbothered by Destiny’s cryptic comments and rude ‘tude, G grabs a bottle of bub and tells Destiny his love for Rogue comes with no strings attached. After his speaking truth to power, Destiny is pissed and mimes choking Gambit as he walks away.

It’s possible that G-man will show up in #10 if he’s helping out here. It looks like Barely useful Sunfire is heading to Otherworld to rescue some tree person I don’t care about from that guy in a blower hat who I also don’t care about. so I wonder how that storyline will interconnect with KOX, or if KOX is just fully isolated to do it’s own dumb nonsense in a bubble.

The Sunfire hint was strange. Why him, of all people? And destiny is the same petty biatch as Mystique. Not too surprising.  It I always thought she was the more reasonable, supportive one.

In the very few times I've read Duggan's take on Gambit, he's actually been entertaining and fun. I did get a Han Solo vibe in his characterisation (maybe because of the space opera setting). The Gambit/Destiny b***hy mother-in-law interaction was too similar to Mystique, it would've been better to have tried something a little different. I know Duggen likes banter and quips, and that's fine but an alternative approach would've been better. The Rogue/Destiny reunion was a little cold too.

While he does tend to portray him as a "joke character" at times, there are far worse writers out there that have written him. I was actually surprised that he had more panel time than Rogue in a book where she is a main cast member. I actually liked the issue overall, and Gambit was the best part of it.
