Gambit is pretty weak.

The creative team will have to really wow me.

Wait... Fraction and Aja have a book coming out. You don't think...?

Nah

I can see Bendis writing this book, or at least do a run similar to what he did on Moon Knight.

Right now Gambit is Marvel's Aquaman, they keep on trying and trying to get the book to stick and than it is cancelled.

It's gonna be Liu writing this.

Speaking as a Gambit fan:

I remember being a kid in the 90's thinking Gambit was cool. Then I grew up.

The last time I remember being excited about Gambit was during X-Treme X-Men. Ever since then, I just can hardly care. I still like the character (mostly because of the nineties), but I just don't think he has much more to SAY.

It would be nice to be proven wrong, I guess.

Gambit is one of the worst superhero names ever.

I guess Chance Fortune was taken though.

I like Gambit and he was used well in X-23 but he is a character that is good in small doses.

by **Victorian Squid** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 7:17 pm

Well he would be better in small pieces at least, that's for sure.

Evidently: Chance Fortune and the Outlaws

This really depends on the writer. These are the only writers that would sell me on this: Aaron, Brubaker, DnA, Gage, Gillen, Parker, Remender, Waid or Yost. If it's anybody else, no sale even though I still like Gambit.
