I for one didn't ask for this book. I'd much rather read a Gambit solo than this. But as a Gambit fan all I can do is hope that it will be enjoyable and yeah balanced. I like to read the book before forming an opinion and not turn every little detail into something negative. It doesn't matter how this series turns out to be you won't like it because your mind is set so you'll find a way to hate it no matter what. I just don't see the point in repeating the same thing to exhaustion.
The bold is exactly how I feel about Romy so if Marvel can repeat something to exhaustion then so can I.
As for hating it no matter what, not true. If Gambit gets equal focus then I will admit it. I just don't see it happening as it didn't happen in the mini. As Neko says if you like the book then enjoy. However, I will continue to express my displeasure over things until such time as I feel like Gambit is getting treated fairly.
It didn't happen in the mini, it didn't happen in the NYT article where the focus was Rogue and it didn't happen in this promo art which again is all about Rogue. The next time something is released about this book that actually focuses on Gambit will be the first and I am not sure why Gambit fans are shocked that it may not sit well with all Gambit fans.
The marketing for this book is such that it appears to be a Rogue vehicle. Might as well call it Mrs. X and the dude that waits patiently for her while she makes out with murderous mutants.
