@Battabing- considering it's the #5 most reordered comic behind Batman and AVX titles, a lot of people.

Can't wait art looks great.

Art should be done by Jim Lee

I like Gambit, and I hoped for a more 'action' oriented sneak peek.

They give good art to an interesting character with an unusual background who is also a thief who are notorious for knowing things and being in places nobody should and what do you do?

You complain.

Then you expect the comic book editors and people making the movies to take the comic book community's opinion seriously.

gambits one of the top x men and has one hell of a past. they seem to have toned down his accent in this one a little but i hope they do him right.

Eh, Man. I guess no one can draw Gambit quite like Jim Lee could... None the less, I'll pick this up.




The whole "Mission Impossible" type of tone they said they're going for intrigues me.

Oh wow... I thought this had already been released? Well, I'm picking up the first issue.

I like the coloring of the first cover compared to the variation one. I love The Spy Who Loved Me cover inspiration though.

How is not having a beautiful woman in this issue a bonus? :P

@TheGambitFreak I also heard it was compared to Indiana Jones. That's another thing that drew me in.

And that sketch is awesome. I used to be really into drawing, but I could never develop my own style that well. I could recreate other artist's works though. I know that's not really the same; every great artist has their own unique style.

Man, I remember when Gambit was first introduced. Very cool character back in the day.

I didn't like him when he was introduced, but at the time there was alot I didn't like going down in the comic. Now that everything settled, and I have had some time to read more about him over the years, I still don't like him, or Psylocke in Revanche's body. Stupid Seige Perilous storyline, killed the outback team (my favorite all time X-Men line-up) and made Jubilee a regular for a few decades.
