Gambit Reading Order Part 5: Mid-2000s to the Present Day

August 27, 2014 by Thomas Bacon 4 Comments

It all began when a reader wrote in asking for a chronology of the X-Man called Gambit.  What followed took me from the Claremont era through the Rogue romance of the ‘90s, with Gambit’s secret ties to Sinister revealed in Uncanny X-Men #350.  In the years that followed, he redeemed himself and even led an X-team on occasion.

And then everything changed. [Read more…] about Gambit Reading Order Part 5: Mid-2000s to the Present Day

Gambit Reading Order Part 2: Early 90’s X-Men: Blue Team, Uncanny, and Gambit Mini!

Previously: The introduction of Gambit in Uncanny X-Men

With so many potential X-Men, Marvel played a smart move – they split the X-Men into two teams, Blue and Gold, and Gambit was on the Blue.  Claremont penned the first three issues of the new X-Men title, which featured the Blue Team, but left due to some serious editorial conflict.  Still, he laid the foundations for what Jim Lee would go on to write.

For example, in X-Men #3 Claremont wrote a moment on Asteroid M where Gambit and Rogue interact for the first time of note: [Read more…] about Gambit Reading Order Part 2: Early 90’s X-Men: Blue Team, Uncanny, and Gambit Mini!
