Basically, Marvel NOW! was Marvel's answer to DC's New 52. It didn't reboot the whole universe, but it did restart a lot of titles from issue #1 with new creative teams. For a while, this meant that...

My vote would be Secret Avengers. His skills would be perfect for their black ops team.



Yess. I miss Gambit and Bishop being bros. I also would like to see him interact with the Fantomexes. So...

I think you're probably right. Unless Asmus has a long-form narrative in mind, in which a resurrected Joelle reappears at some point down the line, this conclusion does feel a lot like editorial...

There's a complete disconnect between how Rogue feels about the Avengers in Gambit and in Uncanny Avengers. Remender has her straight-out say that she doesn't particularly want to be part of the...

Yess. It should just be one Claremontesque shopping trip after another too.

None of Magneto's children turn out well, between crazy Lorna, and treacherous Wanda and Pietro. Just not good genetic material, apparently.

If nothing else, Marvel can now replace Wolverine and the X-Men with Wolverine and Wolverine. Double the sales, surely?

The Sentry reveal was some high-grade trolling. I can appreciate it on that level.

Rogue/Magneto's relationship really was something that was best left as a one and done. Claremont told the story...

I have faith in Remender. His Uncanny Avengers is a little weird, because of his choice of throwback writing style, but he's earned my trust through Uncanny X-Force. :D



The rumour is that...

Remender is all about the adversarial relationship between Rogue and Wanda, and Rogue and the Avengers. I think that's why he keeps bringing up Magneto.



Gambit thinks she has a little kid,...

I don't think that Gambit loves Joelle. I think he sees himself in her. He identifies with her as someone who has gone down a dark path and is now trying to do something right. He keeps talking about...

Oh my gosh. Can Asmus just write Rogue forever? She's actually incredibly likeable and fun and smart here. She didn't come off as THAT jealous to me, or get really pissed about him having sex with...

I was coming here to post that exact picture.

I'm so excited Mann's going to be back on the Rogue guest-arc in Gambit. He draws them so beautifully.

I found this picture on tumblr, and thought you might enjoy:

I'd take Rhor. But only if it were hippie-liberal, possibly-delusional Thor from the Ultimates.



Gail Simone would be amazing. Make this happen, Marvel.

My ideal for the issue would be them interacting as good friends, friends who love each other and are happy for each other and are supportive of each other.

However, jealous Rogue would also be...

I like how Remender writes Rogue for the most part. She reminds me of early Claremont Rogue, which is a good thing. However, I don't understand her place in the team. I get the impression she's only...

I'm hoping for fun Rogue, not Rogue-of-judgment, though the solicitation makes me think we'll get the latter.

I think I like Gambit's new costume, though the silver bands make it look a bit...

So . . . this is happening in March.

GAMBIT #11
JAMES ASMUS (W) • CLAY MANN (A/C)
• Desperate...

Apologies to Liu. No-one should be blamed unfairly for that hot mess, aka I paid $5 for the X-Men talking with Kyle.



Like I said, I thought Asmus' characterisation of Gambit was good, and...

Although Gambit was technically in XML, the wallpaper got more focus than him the last few years. He got to brood and be Rogue's whipping-boy a lot, which is less exciting than it sounds. It was not...

As a Claremont fan, I'd handle his shoes like the holy relic they are. So, yes, I think I'm fit to shine his shoes.

Hyperbole aside, I'm genuinely enjoying the X-Men at the moment, but the books...

Definitely. I enjoyed the first story for its characterisation of Gambit, but thought the plot was a little weak and lacking in direction. Asmus has fixed that with the second arc, which starts in...

The X-Books have a more interesting dynamic going on at the moment, with Wolverine replacing Xavier and Cyclops replacing Magneto, and yet neither of them being obviously right or wrong. As...

If you're a Gambit fan, you should buy his solo series. It's the best Gambit's been in years. It's fun and witty and fast-paced, and keeps getting better with each issue. The latest arc with M-13 is...
