Review: Gambit #7

This… is Gambit.

This is what really needed to be showcased in the first issue to hook the readers. Gambit being smart, clever, witty, and three steps ahead of everyone else. This is what we’ve come to except from the Cajun and while his introspective ala the first few issues was important, but to capture new readers you really have to show that Gambit is an Ace of Spades, then work on the personal issues.

Pete Wisdom is also in top form as well, loved him in this, he was a bit less manic than in previous issues but his wit is just as charming as Gambit.

If this is the ball that has gotten rolling (cause we did see movement on this side of Gambit in the previous issues) then it will definitely be a fun ride, one worthy of Gambit.

Review: X-Men Legacy #3

Review: X-Men Legacy #3

This issue of Legacy is a bit strange. You have two story lines going at once: one is your typical (cliché even) events happening to other people are mimics of what I’m dealing with and the second is something akin to a Three Stooges skit.

For the most part, this kinda works. It’s different, a little twisted, not too confusing, and generally is amusing. The skit does take away from the cliché part which is a good thing cause it is cliché.

But then everything in the skit is wrapped up and you’re left with a rather blank back-end which is completely devoid of any originality either in story or dialogue.

To give it the benefit of the doubt though, Legion hasn’t really done much recently that I know of so the character is being reintroduced and does need a certain level of ‘breaking in’ that other characters wouldn’t. Like X-Treme X-Men which didn’t really start getting good till the fourth issue, and also had an underused character that kinda came out of the blue, I’m giving this one a chance to also pull itself together.

Jackman confirms XMen Cameo

December 23, 2012 by X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

Hugh Jackman gave an interview to Parade magazine and, well, here you go:

Give us a little scoop on the film.
You want to get me into trouble, don’t you? [laughs] Okay, the movie takes place after X-Men: The Last Stand. My character is at his lowest. He is supposed to be able to heal himself, but he may encounter someone who has worked out a way to really hurt him. And there is a cameo from one of the past X-Men in it.

There is already a rumor running around that Famke Jansson who played Jean Grey flew to Australia to film a cameo, a rumor which hasn’t been debunked yet by any parties. Could this be misdirection? Could, but not sure how as Jean’s character would make the most sense in regards to how much of an impact it would make on both Wolvie and the storyline of the franchise.

Should be interesting…
