Comics Official X-MEN: LEGACY Discussion Thread

[iamlegend]

Yeah, no Gambit love this time around. Hope next ish is better.

It's rough right now.

If Marvel/Carey was serious about getting Gambit into the fold somehow they'd at the very least let Gambit get some minor panel time with other characters. The man's been around for two decades of comics! He HAS interacted with countless figures throughout the X-Universe! Why does Carey like to think that Gambit knows Prof. X, Sinister and Rogue exclusively?

 

[squeekness]

Because, contraty to what he seems to be saying, Carey is more of a Rogue fan than a Gambit one. One has to wonder just how familiar he actually is with Gambit's whole history.

You just know that Mike Carey has is own personal copy of this picture where he is in the place of Magneto......t:

Haaaahahahahaha!

 

[Mystic]

Lol!

Just pre-ordered X-Men Legacy #229! Woo! Does anyone know if there's a preview for it yet? If not, it doesn't really matter. I'm just wondering

 

[Mystic]

For anyon'e who's interested I just found the preview!! It says it's been deleted but if you click on the image, you'll see that's it's still there.

My opinion:

It looks interesting. Am I the only one who doesn't like the artwork though? When did it change?! Anyway, here's the preview if you want to see it.

What do you think?

unless your comparing the art to Scott Eaton who left before Utopia, Acuna has been the artist on this book since the annual two months ago.

Ugh...the art...is that a pithecanthrope talking to Scott?




And get real Gambit, if Scott told Rogue no she would have whined and threw a fit and be gone herself.
NO one but you thinks that kind of behavior is even remotely cute.

 

[Mike555]

Cant wait for this issue it looks great.

...at least they gave Gambit a new costume.

 

[iamlegend]

...at least they gave Gambit a new costume.

Yeah, looks like they may have been inspired by his AOA outfit, too... what with the knives. Though I'd imagine they're a decoration at best - can't see them having him actually charge and throw them.

Oh, and I'm assuming the last panel is him trying to restrain his Death guise.

And I think the art's awful.

 

[squeekness]

This.. this is fugly. It looks a lot like his Extreme outfit but not quite making it.

Larroocca, where art thou when we need ya?

 

[Mystic]

Yeah, you're right. I didn't notice that before. He defintely looks better in the second pic but it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

i still thought his reloaded look was his best. i was sad to see they abandonded it.

 

[cardslinger]

I loved his X-Treme costume. It makes sense for Gambit to be in all black. He's a thief. I could see this new costume being alright if we had a different artist. Did they make the coat green on purpose?

 

[squeekness]

^^ I liked that look as well.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

So that's why Gambit doesn't "fit in" at Utopia. He comes in all angry.

 

[EvilClareToo]

Hello Gambit fans!

I'm sorta new around here, and I've been a Gambit fan since he appeared in the comics in the beginning of the 90's (the good ol' days!) Nice to see some familiar faces (hi Mystic!) and getting to know some new ones!

Why oh why must I live in a place that only sells XMen TP's????? I'll have to wait until I'm back in the States next year to read this!

Glad to see him in a new costume, but the artwork........

Salvador Larroca, dónde estás, tío! Te echamos de menos!!!!!

 

[squeekness]

Howdy and welcome! Hope you do get a chance to catch up on our dearest Cajun, though he hasn't done much else besides follow Rogue around. He needs his own ongong again.

 

[EvilClareToo]

I agree! I liked him teaming up with Professor X earlier in Legacy-I like the irony that of all the X Men who retained some loyalty to Charles, it was the one who probably believed in "the dream" the least who was there for him when he needed it. I think it says a lot about Remy's character.

Yes, from the Salvation arc on, he seems to behave like an eager love struck puppy tailing after Rogue, who seems to barely return any feelings for him. I don't see why he bothers when he could have his pick of women. I hope Carey does something about this.

 

[squeekness]

He probably won't. Carey is more in love with Rogue than he is with Gambit and it shows.

 

[Havok83]

that was a good one. I really liked his Revolution one as well

 

[squeekness]

^^At one point they made his pants too loose and baggy and I didn't like it as much.

 

[Mike555]

I loved gambit's 90's look that was the golden age of gambit.
