I like it. Gambit's backstory is different from the one I remember (I think there was something Romeo and Juliet-esque with the rival guilds) (Then again, maybe there's more to the story than I know), but it's very cool. I would have liked to see the backstory get more fleshed out and be more gradual, but the compressed storytelling works here. I'm really interested in seeing where this goes. Keep it up.

Thanks, UM. When I took over the title I decided to re-tell Gambit's origin. It seems to me like Gambit should be a man with a dirty past, and I wanted to go a bit darker than the comics did with it. I'm glad you liked it and I hope you'll like what I have planned in the future.

Enjoyed this issue - the entire backstory between Remy an his brother was really interesting. And the whole undying vengeance deal with bobby is a good touch.
Lol, georgie's head went kablooie. Keep it up!

thanks again, man. Glad you enjoyed it.
I saw your post on the first issue as well and, as for Gambit's accent... well, I think it should always be tough to read lol....
I've met and talked with several individuals from the big easy, and, let me tell you, it's hard as heck to understand them half the time... I feel like I spend half the conversation asking them to repeat something they just said for the fifth time..... I wanted to bring that realism to Gambit's accent here. (not QUITE as bad as the real thing, but close)...
To me, the writer to do the best Gambit dialogue to date has been Fabian Nicieza, although even he didn't get it perfect (and I doubt anyone will ever get it perfect, so I cut them all slack on that)....
One thing that's always bugged me is when a writer like Mike Carey (great writer) uses Gambit, and, all-in-all has the character down, but gives him almost no accent at all..... I didn't want to go that road, so I ran with the realism here..... I can't make myself do it any other way lol....
