Customer Reviews

Gambit is the Best

Although "stereotyped" Super heros are no longer cool. Remember Superfriends in the 70's or 80's. Anyone that appreciates Nawlins and the Cajun archtypes,has to love the Gambit. Anyway as far as the book itself it was an X Mas gift, for my kids. After reading it, they agreed that "Gambit is the best" They also thought Gambit should of been in the Movie, not "Cry Baby Cylops"

Evil Tarot, the Big Easy, and Gambit

This graphic, which reprints Gambit #1-6 (2004) is one of the best graphics from Marvel this year. The story revolves around Remy, as he takes some time away from the X-Men to return home. There, he is hired by a beautiful blond to steal infamously evil tarot cards from her uncle. But things are rarely simple for Gambit, and soon he's in trouble of every kind, being chased by the assassin's guild, jealous women, demons, and cops. Wolverine even pops in for an appearance, just for good measure. The story is engaging and the art is beautiful, very reminiscent of Adam Hughes or Terry Dodson. Jeanty is definitely an artist I'd like to see more of. The writing is an odd mix of Claremont and Giffen's styles, action packed, character driven, and funny all at the same time. This graphic can be enjoyed by new comers to comics and veteran collectors alike, and it has my highest recommendations.
