Gambit’s Back in X-Men #200

by Richard Pulfer

So, good news, popular Gambit’s back in the thus far lackluster X-Men.

Bad news, he’s coming to KILL EVERYONE. And considering X-Men #200 opens up for the supposedly casulty-DarkGambit.bmpridden “Endangered Species”, he just might succeed!

For those who are a little confused right now, the most recent (and most deplorable) Gambit development featured the shrewd thief trying to con Apocalpyse into thinking he had joined their crew. Bad news was Gambit underestimated Apocalpyse’s mojo and wound up loosing his marbles in the process while trying to kill his former lover Rogue.

He’s coming back with the Marauders this time around - Sinister’s enforcers who nearly wiped out the Morlocks - and while this is sure to be a big deal in comics, it could either be a really good or really bad thing.

Good Thing: Hopefully, this story ends up leading to Gambit’s partial or entire redemption as he comes back to the X-Men team, which could really use the kinetic-charged mutant’s flare in their dimming series.

Bad Thing: If Gambit dies I’m never reading another X-Men comic again - or at least until he comes back!

    I haven’t read X-Men in a long time. If Gambit is featured in the story, then I may start reading again!

    Me neither, Lynn, but the direction they’ve taken Gambit - and Sunfire for that matter - seriously irks me! I’ll read X-Men #200, but I don’t know how far I’ll go unless positive changes are made soon!

About Comic Book Journal

Where do capes and cowls end and horror and noir begin? What's more important: the four-color panels, or the letter balloons within them? Did comics really begin in cave walls, or just in the Sunday morning cartoons? What the heck is a graphic novel? These questions and more are answered in the Comic Book Journal, the place between the page and the panel, the motion line and the sound byte, the superhero and the every(wo)man.
