review 1: This book was fun. We all know Gambit is sort of a C-lister, a bit of a joke of a character. The weird thing is, when I was a little kid, and we all used to play pretend X-men together, I was Gambit all the time. I really wanted to be Cyclops. Maybe I really wanted this book to be about Cyclops, though. In the end, it is a total break from the regular X-men Melodrama. It is just Gambit, gallivanting around the world, having lady problems and throwing Kinetically charged playing cards at people. Throw in a little Romantic love triangle with him, and Rogue and the other girl (who is so unimpressive, I don't even remember her name) and you have an enjoyable read, that is easy to get through. the only set back would be occasional clunky dialogue. When two of the main charact... moreers who speak are Gambit and Rogue, there are a lot of moments where you are reading awkwardly spelled words, trying to guess what they are saying, with their thick accents.
review 2: Lots of fun and better than the first volume. The volume is mostly one-shot adventures but all connected to the bigger story of Gambit trying to help (and sometimes being betrayed by) Joelle.My favorite story was the second issue in the volume; set in "The Club With No Name" and featuring a whole bunch of super villains. There's even a great line about "a bad '90s flashback" which made me laugh out loud. Tremendous fun and a pleasant surprise for a character I didn't particularly care about before. less
