Topic: Gambit Watch

It looked like the Deadpool vs. Marvel issue that came out today featured the X-Men. Anyone pick it up? Just curious if Gambit made that issue.

I think Gambit was already killed in previews for previous issue of Deadpool kills Marvel.

[Nekobaghira]

Well, that stinks. I don't follow up as much as I used to .... we'll all have to band together to catch G's appearances.

As it is, not a lot of chatter due to lack of appearances.

Astonishing Xmen #2 is out August 16th ... via Marvel.com but sometimes that site burns me ... I'll know this Friday via my LCS if that is indeed fact.

[Nekobaghira]

Yes .... August 16th is the date for Astonishing Xmen #2.

Some good covers for it as well...

Oh, I see... random X-Men sitting around a table in the X-Mansion playing cards (X-Men Gold #10) and they don't bother to even use Gambit as background art. Oh, OK @#$# you too, Guggenheim, X-Office, Marvel, and whatever editor(s) involved. Mostly joking, but dang.

If Gambit would be there playing cards then Logan won`t be able to win three hands in raw and be the best there is.

[DonPriceTag]

Maybe is a blessing in disguise, they might have had him loosing to Logan with the room laughing at him as he pouts in loserdom.

Not a sighting but something of mini feature on CBR addressing the time Gambit came back after Blood of Apocalypse

FABIAN NICIEZA On 30 Years In Comics, DEADPOOL's Success, & NFL SUPERPRO's Chances For a Return

Nrama: Deadpool is a big star now, and some of your X-Force creations are coming into their own now. Are there other characters you created or co-created that you think would do exceptionally well in the spotlight?


Nicieza: I think a non-X-Men focused TV series of a younger Gambit would make a great show. I think if Marvel Studios had decided to introduce a few more "cannon fodder" villains as almost throwaway cameos in their movies, combined with a few of their more prominent villains, then they could have more smartly set up a Thunderbolts movie that would have been as much fun as Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley's first year on the series.


Ironically, I think many of the pitches I made to Marvel -- and even DC - that they passed on contained some of the most viable concepts that they could have expended to film and television.

[Nekobaghira]

I think Nicieza could have easily wrote stuff for TV. I am in agreement a younger version of Gambit for TV would be fun. I can imagine all the trouble he could get into.

[cc008]

And they would be able to keep New Orleans as the setting.. which would be awesome .

Anka is drawing Gambit again

Probably for Astonishing. I like his art much more now. His style has changed a little bit

[Nekobaghira]

I appreciate his art more now. I am not sure if style has changed all that much but I do like this image.
