Oh come on Marvel seriously why end a good fun book?

 

[Angamb]

how is the quality of this series? I didnt know Gambit had one these days, I might check it out if its good (although I dont know if its being published on Spain..)

 

[squeekness]

Who said it was ending? It would have said series finale if it was... not just penultimate. *crosses fingers*

 

[Specter313]

Well, hate to burst your bubble squeeks, but penultimate does mean "second to last", so issue 17 will be the last one.

 

[squeekness]

Then someone needs to die a horrible death.

I think it's been tweeted that the series is to end.

[Manic X]

What a shame. Easily my favourite `xbook`the last couple of months.

[Neptune]

So any word on Gambit in the new X-men movies?

 

[EvilClareToo]

Nooooo! They are ending the Gambit series????? I need to grab as many copies as I can when I head back to the US next week!

 

[squeekness]

You won't regret it, it's been a great book. I am sad to see it go. It's way better than the Wolverine relaunch by far.

GAMBIT #17
JAMES ASMUS (W)
CLAY MANN (A/C)
• Gambit’s latest solo series reaches its climactic conclusion!
• Torn between his separate lives - mutant hero and master thief – Gambit is forced to make a choice between the two, with major consequences for what comes next!
• But he better make his choice fast - because he’s trapped at the center of a deadly super-villain riot! (And a few of them may have scores to settle with Gambit himself.)

[squeekness]

I like that last cover.

GAMBIT #14
JAMES ASMUS (W)
DIOGENES NEVES (A)
Cover by STEPHANE ROUX
• Unable to go to his agents at MI13 for help, Pete Wisdom calls in his favor and tasks Gambit with recovering a stolen enchanted artifact.
• And if this cover is any indication, this task is right up the Ragin’ Cajun’s alley!

[Nevaratoiel]

I like that last cover.

It's a great cover. Sad the solo is ending.

 

[squeekness]

Me, too.

 

[BoredGuy]

this all makes it sound like Remy's leavin the X-Men after this series is over
That would make me a sad panda

how long until he'd be lost in limbo
and I highly doubt, if he thinks the X-Men are too heroic for him, that he'd end up an avenger

 

[squeekness]

He better not end up in limbo. It's better than him being killed off ... but not by much.

 

[BoredGuy]

yeah idk, I think I'd rather a dignified death than limbo-status for one of my favorite characters...
that said, I'd prefer neither

 

[squeekness]

Death is too final (most times). At least with limbo someone else can dust the guy off down the road and use him properly.

Jumping into some fan questions for the week, gambitaab asks, "with 'Gambit' and 'Astonishing X-Men' ending, where can Gambit finds expect to see him next? I feel like he would be a great fit in Aaron's new Amazing X-Men book."

Alonso: We have big plans for Gambit, gambitaab -- and they involve a team he's never been a member of before.

 

[Generation Lee]

Although this comic said otherwise to the unity squad I smell Avengers of some sort as they have what seems like more than15 teams running about at the minute.
