An overall quick, refreshing story that examines Rogue and Gambit's tumultuous past with a surprise ending. I'm a sucker for any romance story, so count me in.
Ok I admit it I am biased. Gambit is my favorite X-MAN. The noticed the spark between him and Rogue from the first episode of the 90s X-MEN cartoon series. Getting into the comics seeing all the history between the two of them made me want them to be together even more. Now with so many of my childhood/comic book couples broken up nostalgia get the better of me with these two.Romeo and Juilet have nothing on these two. With all their ups and downs, the perfect mission come up where these two can...
20. Years. Too. Late.Very well told, in regards to their relationship and looking back at it, but WTF... SPOILER ALERT... Why the frakk has Rogue got to apologise for their failure for that big fallout in the past?... that's BS. That's Marvel caving into the fan boys who massively sided with genocide accomplice Gambit at the time. In Antartica Gambit was revealed to have led the Marauders to the massacre of 100s of mutants. A massacre. Not sure why Rogue is apologising for that or for being unab...
This is really a fun and cute romance-y sort of comic for fans of Rogue & Gambit's on-again/off-again relationship.The villain is fairly stupid and her motivations are extremely murky, but if you know that going into this one it may not be so bad. Think of Ring of Fire as more of a rom-com(ic) and less of an action comic, I guess. But for what it is, I thought it was adorable. So, due to convenient plot stuff, Rogue and Gambit get sent on a mission to pose as a couple seeking relationship therap...
3.5 stars. This was pretty cool. I liked how since Rogue and Gambit have this complicated relationship, Kitty Pryde sends them undercover to a couples retreat to investigate some strange happenings there. The villain was kind of lame but it was cool seeing Remy and Rogue work thru their history and save the day at the same time.
these characters are so 90s it’s too much for my nostalgic heart to handle. actually...i’m only 17 so i’m too young to be even this nostalgic. anyway!i LOVED this because both characters are semi new to me, but this made me feel as if i have been there throughout their entire romance and read every issue with them in it. you don’t necessarily get to know them well, but you know the dynamics of their relationship and the feelings of both about it.in the world of marvel this book is small but it i...
I was surprised how much I liked this. Gambit and Rogue have been on the outs for years, to the point where I quit giving a crap about the two of them getting together. Rogue even recently made out with Deadpool in Uncanny Avengers, so I expected this to feel very forced. But Kelly Thompson did a very good job of revisiting key moments of their past and having them work through their issues. It was actually pretty great seeing them revisit key moments from their time in the Uncanny X-Men, the fi...
ROGUE AND GAMBIT GO TO COUPLES THERAPY THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW OH MY GOSH I GOT INTO THE X-MEN IN THE 1990's ENTIRELY BECAUSE OF THEM AND THE SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON THIS IS EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED.
8/10rogue walked so e-girls could run
Okay, so maybe I'm biased. I already fell in love with kelly Thomson's writing after her Hawkeye run. I already love rogue. And I already love when super heros get to be super while dealing with mundane every day stuff like relationship troubles. But maybe, none of that would matter cause this is a freaking great book!Relationships in comics aren't usually explored in this amount of detail. 5 whole issues dedicated to a couple attending a therapy retreat is not common marvel canon. But I absolut...

Why is everything I read by this author just meh?
(Read as single issues)omg, so fun and charming, love these dirtbags
Gambit and Rogue are a pair with a lot of emotional baggage, baggage that they will have to sort through when their latest mission places them undercover as a couple going through marital therapy! The pair will have to stay the course if they want to locate a group kidnapped mutants, but will they be able to stomach the truths that they unearth in the process?I have a real weakness for superhero romances, so when I heard that Rogue and Gambit were going to have a graphic novel based around their...
An action-romance mini-series by one of the rising stars of corporate comics, Kelly Thompson. I was a big fan of her Hawkeye and of her West Coast Avengers books, and this book stands tall right beside them.While the villain herself is pretty forgettable, the setting and circumstances of Rogue and Gambit’s adventure work beautifully for the characters. It’s a book that’s also made better by having a firmly defined beginning, middle, and end. While Gambit’s double-entendres get old quickly, the c...
Rogue is my absolute favourite character so of course I went into this extremely biased! I loved it, especially the flashbacks and references to so many of the traumatic and often bizzare things she and Gambit have being through. They are a couple with deep trust issues and this really explores them.
In her review, Anne calls this miniseries a rom-com(ic) and she couldn't be more spot on. Even though the plot and villain only serve to get Rogue and Gambit focused on their relationship, it's a charming and genuine exploration of two people who love each other, but have a lot of history, their own issues, and don't fully realize how much they've hurt, but also how much they mean, to each other. The "couples retreat paradise" is of course a front for something more shady, but it's also a setup
this was adorable
Feels like the X-men of old. This book really took me back to when I was a young buck growing up in the late 80s and early 9os. When Fox Kids had the most amazing kids cartoon shows. Shows like Batman the Animated series, Spider-man, Dragon Ball Z and of course "X-men". X-men without a doubt got me into comics. One of the key elements that make the X-men tick is the personal drama between many of the team members. At its core X-men scribes John Byrne & Chris Claremont created some well written s...
I've always been a sucker for Rogue and Gambit. This was just straight up fun. Hopefully, there will be more in the future. Content warning: some language and sex, though you don't really see anything.
