Hi… I’m new in the Subreddit, Here are some cool/ funny pics i took to myself during the convention, I’m definitively not a good photographer, and my cosplay was a really Low budget made with cardboard, a broomstick and idk… Any thoughts or Something
Comment what character you want me to draw next, tell me what you want them to be doing as well!
I showed the pencils earlier in the month and just finished last night. Wanted to have this ready and auctioned off during ROMY CON but life happens amirite? Anyways here’s the finished scanned version and some process shots at various stages.
Following are my top 10 favorite issues with Gambit ever. I had a very tough time narrowing down the list since this is actual individual issues and not like story arcs or series, but it was a lot of fun too. May not always be "important" issues or even issues where he is the main star, but these are the ones that I personally enjoyed the most and many are the ones that helped make me a lifelong fan of the character.
My favorite Gambit comic and one of my favorite comics ever period. Rogue is kidnapped by the X-Cutioner and Gambit goes to save her. They end up saving each other though. Really does a great job showing Gambit and Rogue's love for each other. Get some great introspection from X-Cutioner and insight into Gambit's character. Just an all around great issue. Amazing art by Steve Skroce too. He's one of my favorite artists.
My first X-Men comic! I was captivated from the very beginning by Gambit's intro page. He looked so cool and him, Wolverine, and Psylocke seemed so badass. He became my favorite X-Man pretty much immediately. Enjoyed his entrance with Beast to the fight with Magneto too. Jim Lee's art was firing on all cylinders on every single page.
3 and 4. Uncanny X-Men #312 and Uncanny X-Men #313
I was just unable to exclude either of these issues! Love everything about this two part Phalanx story. The art, the character work, and the action. I still love Joe Madureira's later style a lot, but for me the early X-Men and Deadpool issues he did were his peak! Loved Gambit's interactions with Storm and Yukio throughtout. Gambit was still relatively new to the team and still reforming himself and it was fun seeing Yukio(who had a history with him) take pokes at him. Gambit showed his true character is this two-parter and had a ton of great lines. Love the creative use of his power too with the anchor.
The famous basketball game! I always thought that scene was so fun. Love all those Jim Lee comics, but issue one and this issue are my absolute favorites(#8 with the boysenberry pie incident is also a fave lol). Loved Wolverine, Beast, and Jubilee trying to tag along on Gambit and Rogue's date too. Jubilee was hilarious the whole issue.
Included the Pacheco because that was the cover I first got of it.
As I said Steve Skroce is one of my favorite artists and no one does action like him. This issue is jam-packed with action! Great page after great page. Love the scene towards the end where the panels show Rogue getting closer and closer when she was flying into save Gambit.
Tons of his lore introduced in this series and this is my favorite issue of the series. Especially love the intro in the Danger Room with the commentary from Storm and Wolverine. Lots of iconic stuff.
Kelly Thompson definitely saved the Rogue and Gambit relationship and had two series that are among my all time favorites for the characters. Such a good and fun writer. Started the heavy lifting right in this issue and had some very fun interactions between the two.
Love his first appearance comic too and one of my favorite memories is getting a copy of his first appearance around 1999 from a comic shop, but this is my favorite of the two intro issues for Gambit. Jim Lee and Whilce Portacio drew Gambit so well here and it had so many great scenes with Gambit and Stormy. Loved him fighting with a broom as well lol.
Enjoyed this whole series with the incredible Clay Mann art, and then I was only able to add one of the issues where he only had one page lol. Still, this issue may not be a fave for most people, but it's one of my favorite Gambit issues ever. Showed Gambit's true good and heroic nature and it was a lot of fun seeing him herd the students and fight a bunch of monsters. Also, one of the best examples in the comics IMO of the cartoon line "how often must a scoundrel prove himself a hero, before he believes it himself." with this included page near the end-
Honorable mentions would include Rogue(1995) issues number #1 and #2 and Uncanny X-Men #361! Painful not being able to include so many great issues.
Happy X-Men 97 Day!

Dive into the epic comic Gambit’s forgotten Shi’ar Space Armor from Uncanny X-Men is one of the coolest deep-cut looks in Marvel history, and it deserves way more attention. https://youtube.com/shorts/v59gLDzQwFE?is=fMDlDBHoERH7to8f Feel free to check out the video.
Very random question but am I the only one who assumed Gambit was bisexual? Cuz I looked it up a while ago and I was genuinely honest to goodness shocked that he wasn't
This dialogue also reinforcesthe idea of the main reality [Present Timeline] we follow in-game and where Gambit resides from.
Is deliberately written to adjacent future/continuation of the 616 comics. In which characters have already established their comic history & growth, but with the difference being the game takes place 2 years after the X-men prevented the 'Fall of X' incident, saving Krakoa.
(reinforced by lore pages in S1)
So I really wonder if Rivals would explore this arc of Gambit in the next season centring an another Apocalypse (or prob the main one ) and his brand new heir of Horsemen, via dialogue mentioned or a significant plot thread.
My partner got this for me from my wishlist and it finally showed up.
Just what the title says, I want a great graphic novel or omnibus that really goes into Gambit's story.
Seeing what's the most popular fan theories going around,
Notable mentions:
\- Gambit (Death) targeting rogue specifically, he remembers who she is and their last encounter
\- Too powerful to defeat alone, his power set is amplified
\- Still has his charm, only darker and unsettling
\- Rogue and Gambit fight, with him toying with her (sexual undertones but for a cartoon)
\- The X-men will have to rescue Rouge (guessing the scene in the savage land is them rallying to save a few that already encountered the horsemen)
\- He kills "so many people"
\- Rogue will attempt to absorb him, but it will not work
\- He has a moment of realization just short of killing rogue, but will continue to struggle with his death persona
What else you got??
I don't think it's the actual character design for s2 since they're keeping that pretty guarded but it does look like a cool shirt.

Tal vez muchos no estén de acuerdo pero en un foro de XMEN han hecho varios fancast de Austin Butler como gambito pero en lo personal no me gusta tanto.Siento que Sam Reid sería perfecto pero hay un actor australiano que también me parece muy gambito en todo sentido llama Sam Corlett y aparece en la serie de vikingos Valhalla o algo así jajaj
