X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

Remy is a sucker for a damsel in distress… but that’s one of things we love about him.

This time him and Joelle head to the snowy Canadian northwest to find something that will help her save her daughter (if that’s not a lie as we learn later in the issue it very well could be). It’s nice though, seeing Gambit rob the facility and really having a great time doing it, he’s a thief at heart, always will be.

The dialogue in this issue is also pretty suburb. From Remy’s comment about almost becoming an architect by accident to how he apparently dreams about being in the Harry Potter universe (Remy, you are totally a Slytherin, sorry!).

Of course, this is the issue with the ‘big moment’ of Rogue coming back into Gambit’s life at the worse possible moment… that being waking him up while he had been sleeping with Joelle out in the woods after possibly (likely) having sex. I kinda like the look on Rogue’s face, she’s not angry, she’s not disappointed, she’s not happy, she’s more like “really? here? how impossibly cliché of you”.

I really REALLY hope that Asmus doesn’t play the ‘jealous x-girlfriend’ card in the next issue because while yes, I am all for the Romy, these two have been broken up for a long time and Rogue specifically told Remy she needed time to think on things, find herself, etc, and so she should totally not be surprised if Gambit took up with someone else, not when she hooked up with Mags. The only thing I can see working is her just being worried about Joelle’s questionable character, and if anything from a friends perspective.

Can’t wait for the next issue!
