...he dodged both questions. I think he just confirmed my thoughts of this being a one issue/arc thing. I don't think he or his editors thought Gambit's possible inclusion would foster this much interest, just as they didn't think his solo would make it past 12 (I'm pretty sure if they did plan it out Gambit's solo would have gone much further but the book didn't fit into their plans and lineup). At this point I think be wants as many people as possible interested without sullying his relationship with the Gambit and Romy fans (because of the cover, Romy bait obviously).
