3.5/5
Collects the first Gambit and Rogue miniseries from the early 90's. In the Gambit miniseries, Gambit heads to New Orleans after his brother is murdered. There his past catches up to him and he gets embroiled is a power struggle between the Thieves and Assassins Guilds. Rogue tags along and accidentally steals some of Bella Donna's memories. The plot is convoluted and motivations sometimes don't make sense. Lee Weeks provides artwork reminiscent of Joe Kubert.In the Rogue miniseries, Bella Donna
This is just a reprint of such peak 90s nonsense but also I love it.
Rating: "meh…"I absolutely adore Rogue. I have read most of her major story arcs, some of which included Gambit. They have had their fair share of interesting storylines. So I don't really understand why X-Men: Gambit & Rogue includes one of their most over-the-top one. Is this what they think fans of either Rogue or Gambit want to read? Well, not me. I would have even prefered re-reading one of their most iconic storylines rather than the ones that they picked. Also I was hoping for something n...
A fun story and a satisfying ending of my two favorite superheroes.
It was long.
I love them both so much. 💓I like Remy's flirtatious nature: when he sees someone he likes he just goes for it, no reservations, but at the same time he's a big ol' romantic, too. He does whatever he wants, but he's also aware & respectful of other people's boundaries (although he does have a tendency to give a playful lil push, to maybe get what he wants). The Chaotic Neutral of it all. 💕When it comes to Rogue, I think her not-wanting-to-be-touched is something a lot of people can relate to for...
Some bits and parts were re-reads for me, but this was an okay story.
I love Rogue and Gambit so much and these are some of my favorite stories.
I read this because fabulous podcast Jay and Miles Xplain the X-Men recommended it, and they were right. I now understand why Rogue/Gambit is such a popular pairing, and why their recent wedding was such a big deal. Lots of fun. It’s impossible to take the accents seriously, though. They’re just hilarious, although it probably doesn’t help that because of the podcast I hear both of them in Miles Stokes’ voice.
I've been on a little bit of an X-Men kick as of late, mainly due to rewatching the first couple of movies. It definitely helped to reawaken my love for Rogue, and so here we are!I didn't know anything about Gambit before reading this and I've got to say that he was so much fun to read about. The relationship between Rogue and Gambit was cute to follow, and felt a bit forbidden due to Rogues powers, which I liked. It balanced out with the way the two of them constantly had a good flow of quips a...
Public library copy. Both stories weren't that great, to me the standout things were the Lee weeks and Mike Wieringo art. Neither artist were at their potential yet, but very good nonetheless. Weeks drew like Jim Lee at this time and the best part of Gambit was when he was with Rogue, which all starts to devolve here. I can appreciate the book based on the 90s era from which it came, but it doesn't hold up that great.
