Jul 22, 2026Gambit is one of my all-time favorite mutants, and I’ll take whatever I can get of him. That said, Chris Claremont gives a great story, taking us back in time in Gambit’s life. The artwork was fantastic, putting you in the New Orleans headspace. All in all, X-cellent work all around! Read Full Review

Jul 22, 2026The creative team also gives the book a strong visual identity. Robert Gill’s expressive character work and Bryan Valenza’s energetic colors make the contrast between the street-level world of Remy’s chosen family and the polished danger of the casino scenes stand out. That blend of character drama, crime-story tension, and classic X-Men flavor makes this debut feel both familiar and fresh. For longtime Gambit fans, this issue offers the kind of character-focused pre-X-Men story that is easy to invest in, and for newer readers, it provides a clear, entertaining entry point into what makes him such a compelling figure in the Marvel Universe.

Get Your Comic On - Neil Vagg
Jul 22, 2026Gambit: Wanted #1 is a confident, back-to-basics return for legendary X-Men writer Chris Claremont. By unshackling Remy from decades of continuity, Claremont and artists Robert Gill and Bryan Valenza have crafted a genuinely intriguing jumping on point, one that’s as easy to love for newcomers as it will be for longtime fans.

3.0
Another unnecessary tale from a long gone x-era, once again routinely written by the old master, Chris Claremont, and horribly drawn by, well… someone. What all those series have in common is, that there are basically no stakes - we know where the characters will end up - and that they never reach the high quality of the original books of the era they are set in.
Gambit: Wanted is badly executed, boring and completely forgettable, but I hope it helps Mr. Claremont supplement his retirement.+ Like • Comment -
