Gambit's New Book

[Seresecros]

Who is going to be writing Gambit? It will be none other than JAMES ASMUS!! In a series. Art will be by CLAY MANN!!

Hurrah!



This will be a crime caper book which sends Gambit into the main Marvel Universe. Asmus will be focusing on Gambit as a thief foremost, and will work on redeveloping that side of the character.

Couldn't ask for a better creative team. Deffo on board for this.

Might give this a look. Not exactly a fan of Gambit but I've been liking what's been going on with him recently. Likewaise not a fan of the things I've read from Asmus but since discovering he was the same James Asmus from "Hey You Millionaires" I figure I can give him a shot.

Asmus will write the teased "Gambit" ongoing series with artist Clay Mann starting in August. "This book focuses on the two most important aspects of Gambit: #1 that he's sexy, and #2 that he's the preeminent bad ass thief of the Marvel Universe," the writer said. He explained that the book will feature Gambit broken away from the X-Men, stealing wild items from across the Marvel U in locations like space, places with Kirby monsters and more. "It lets us refresh and do new things with the crime capers involving our classic bad ass." He also joked that "We got rid of the head sock" in describing Mann's art as "Sexy."

Does this mean he won't be in Astonishing and Legacy anymore?

Kirby monsters is a pretty good selling point.

I will read both TPBs.

I hope his Pokemon squad feature.

I also hope he pays for his crimes.

[Boozier]

I was not going to get this, but then it paired my dream creative team, and now I have to get it.

I hope Husk guest stars.

Does this mean he won't be in Astonishing and Legacy anymore?

Somebody asked, and no he's not leaving either title anytime soon.

Might be fun.

Does this mean he won't be in Astonishing and Legacy anymore?

Gage tweeted something about Gambit staying in Legacy as a supporting character...and we all know Liu won't drop Gambit.

Cover looks great.

I'm not a massive Gambit fan, but Clay Mann's art is too sexy too ignore so I will give this a shot.
