But their side mission to escape the SHADOW KING goes off the rails when sudden disaster strikes, and the duo find themselves in the midst of local trouble with 'Ro's life - and very essence - in the balance. Can Gambit find the heroic path before it's too late? Featurin more
Gambit #2 provides depth to a fan favorite character and a new perspective about his loyalty to the people he cares about. Read Full Review
The issue includes some nice dream sequences depicted largely in grayscale with hints of accent colors. Given how vibrant the rest of the issue is, this is good work from Kotian and Grundetjern to set them so very much apart from the rest of the issue and emphasize their importance. Read Full Review
Gambit is not typically a book I would pick up, but with him being an X-Man and Storm being my second favorite X-Man, I am content with this series. All in all, I think the book has potential and has lightly tapped my attention. Only time will tell with the following couple of issuess if Claremont has succeeded with this duo. Read Full Review
Given this somewhat jarring jump between chapters, I'm left unsure about what to think of Gambit moving forward. If nothing else, Sid Kotian's artwork in issue #2 is excellent and continues to be a highlight so far. Read Full Review
I like how low stakes this is. It is just hanging out with characters you like. I liked that Claremont picked up on the Ororo witch lineage subplot from back in the Lifedeath period of Uncanny. Its very Claremonty full of skilled people and working-class problems rubbing up against the fantastic. That's just the kind of book it is and I can meet it on those terms pretty easily.
This is one nude scene away from being an 11 PM Cinemax "thriller" movie circa 1991.
