into a no holds barred match. It is a fun read because you don't get a
lot of the Gambit/Jubilee love/hate relationship interaction anymore.

GAMBIT VISITS THE PRINCESS BAR
-
You get a rare moment in this issue. In the 90's you
got a lot of Wolverine teaming up with Gambit on personal missions, these
days they are far and few between. This is one of the last we have seen
in the Wolverine series. Gambit and Wolverine break into the Princess Bar
in Madripoor believing something is wrong. Come to find out there is just
a surprise party for Wolverine. On top of it Wolverine finds out Gambit
is a regular customer when he goes to introduce the younger Cajun.
-
This is a REALLY cheap read. You can actually find this
one in some dollar bins! It runs under $2 even on Ebay.

GAMBIT TURNED INTO A VAMPIRE
-
In the Mutant X universe Gambit was a vampire, along
with his partner in crime, Bloodstorm. Bloodstorm was the one that changed
him when a caper went wrong and Gambit was mortally wounded. She didn't
want to do it, but felt she had to to save the life of her friend. Mutant
X Annual 2000 tells the story of his change into a vampire by her hand.
-
This little gem of a comic will run you a little more
then the average, around $6.00 on average. Maybe a little less on Ebay
if you catch it at a good time.

AGE OF APOCALYPSE GAMBIT
-
The Age of Apocalypse was originally a 4 month storyline
that hijacked the X-verse. It threw all the characters in a what if situation.
In this time Gambit and his strange team-up of underground thieves got
their own book for 4 whole issues and showed up in several other crossover
titles. It was a fun read just to see Gambit react with other characters
and have a new romance.
-
This series won't hurt you in the
least. You can pick up these comics for less then $2 a piece. Sometimes
even finding them for a dollar each in some shops and on Ebay.

GAMBIT & SPIDER-MAN TEAM-UP IN NEW
ORLEANS
-
Don't let Howard the Duck scare
you. The duck-man does not appear in the story with Gambit. This comic
has two separate stories, the first teaming up Gambit and Spider-man in
New Orleans. Spider-man Team-up #5 isn't the first or only team up between
Spider-man and Gambit, but it is the more interesting and the art is better
then the kiddy magazines.
-
Watch out of Ebay. Several people
are passing it off as "rare". It's not. So paying more then $5.00
there is silly when you can grab it up at online sites or local shops around
$4.00-$5.00.

X-MEN MEETS THE STAR TREK CREW
-
Star Trek/X-Men was a very bizarre
crossover, especially since the two series crossing over were in two totally
different time periods. Somehow they managed to pull it off pretty well.
The story flowed better then expected and the art was good. Gambit spends
a lot of time in the sick bay, but it is still a good read just for the
novelty of it, if anything.
-
Don't let anyone fool you on this
issue either...not rare. Ebayers will attempt to tell you different. You
can pick up Star Trek/X-Men up for around $5 in local shops and in online
shops.

GAMBIT & STORM BATTLE THE PHALANX
-
Yukio, Gambit and Storm had crossed
paths many times before this comic storyline, but when the trio gets together
in this one it is all kinds of comedy and drama. Uncanny X-Men #312 and
#313 have Storm and Yukio coming into a run in with the Phalanx, when they
need reinforcements Storm calls Gambit, not knowing that Remy and Yukio
have a past...and not a good one.
-
You can actually pick up both
of these issues for less then $5.00 in most comic shops. Even cheaper if
you his Ebay at the right time, just watch the shipping options. For more
info on that bad past with Yukio, pick up the Wolverine/Gambit Victims
mini series.

GAMBIT & BISHOP PLAY NICE
-
There was always, and still is,
a lot of anger and mistrust between Gambit and Bishop. Bishop came into
this time believing that Gambit was the reason his future was horrible.
Turns out, Bishop was beginning to believe he was wrong. Bishop began to
loosen up around Gambit and for a short time they had a semi-truce. Uncanny
X-Men #334 was one of the times that showed through. With the Juggernaut
and art by Joe Madureira just adds to the fun.
-
This is a really cheap read! You
can pick this up for less then $2.00 practically anywhere. Some shops may
even have it in a dollar box or on sale for even less.

X-BABIES
-
Attempting to take advantage of
Bishop's truce, Gambit decides to take a very reluctant Bishop out on the
town to an underground casino and strip club. Gambit tries to convince
Bishop that he would never betray the X-Men. In the midst of the conversation
the new X-Babies appear and casue a lot of trouble. Not only do you get
a fun Bishop/Gambit situation, you get baby Gambit running amoke too.
-
You can grab up both of these issues
for under $7.00. X-Men #46 runs at the most $5.00 and #47 runs under $2.00.

X-MEN KILL GAMBIT
-
What If #106 is not really a "fun"
issue and it is not really X-reality since it is part of the 'What If'
series, but it is a very interesting read. It shows what might happen if
the X-Men did not forgive Gambit for his past crimes. The X-Men gang up
on the Cajun and have a trial of their own that doesn't end well.
-
What If #106 is not going to break
the bank at a whopping $4.00 at most places. Less on Ebay, unless you go
for a certified graded edition...that will hit you hard in the wallet at
around $35.00-$40.00.

GAMBIT HELPS MARROW
-
After an accident, on Gambit's
part, Marrow was seriously wounded and needed medical help. With the other
X-Men busy with other things he felt obligated to find help himself. He
steals the Quinjet and heads to the nearest Skrull medical clinic. He force
the doctor to fix Marrow which leads to her not only being healed, but
also makes her powers manageable.
-
With the Skrull event going on
this comic went up a bit since it was a past Skrull event. Not to worry
though, it only runs around $5.00-$6.00 practically anywhere.

GAMBIT MARRYS & GROWS OLD WITH MARROW
-
X-Men #98 was actually a pretty
funny run. During the Ages of Apocalypse storyline it showed the X-Men
well into their old age, most having kids and some grandkids. Not only
do you get the chance to see Gambit in his senior citizen days, you get
to see him without Rogue. He ends up marrying Marrow in this alternate
story.
-
This one will actually cost you
a little more then the average back issue. On most online sites and local
shops you will have to pay around $10.00 for a copy. Ebay you can catch
one around $8.00 if you hit it at the right time.

GAMBIT AS A KID
-
This is a fun issue because you
get to see Gambit in his teens on one of his first adventures as a new
mutant. Gambit and his cousin were captured by the Pig during a thieving
excursion. Not used to his new developing mutant abilities he used them
the best he could to get them out of the mess. In that escape he learned
that playing cards are a very good weapon.
-
Gambit #6 will run you under $5
practically anywhere be it your local shop or on Ebay. Pick up Gambit #7
along with it for an extra $4 and see Gambit take on the Pig as an adult.

Gambit #12 through #14 of the 1st
on-going series had Gambit, and his then sidekick Courier, going on a trip
back in time. This time trip came after a break in to get to the time machine.
His gang not only included Sek, but the Mengo brothers as well. The mix
created a hilarious situation. Once back in time he runs into Sinister,
has problems with Candra and also found out about the Black Womb project.

local shop or online shop witll run you between $18.00-$20.00. On Ebay

GAMBIT & WOLVERINE PLAY PRETEND
-
Not only does Gambit #5 from the
second on-going series have a guest appearance by Wolverine, which is usually
enough to make it interesting. This issue has them dishing out some revenge
in an odd way. They pretend to be the other X-Men. Gambit acts like Cyclops
and Iceman, while Wolverine gets to be Beast and Nightcrawler. Nothing
better then a blue painted Wolverine!
-
Not only is a fun read, it won't
cost you an arm and a leg. Just $4.00 will get you a copy on or in any
shop. Even cheaper on Ebay.

GAMBIT & STORM MAKE OUT
-
There are a lot of women that Gambit
have kissed over the years. Most didn't hit fans as hard as this one. A
lot of people email me asking which issue the big Storm and Gambit kiss
was in. Well, it was in this one, X-Treme X-Men #32. Gambit gives a very
naked Storm a deep kiss to make her feel better. It was the peak of a back
and forth flirt fest between the two in the X-Treme X-Men that seemed to
disappear after the series ended. It was fun while it lasted.
-
The issue won't break the bank
either. It will run you less then $5.00 at practically an source.

GAMBIT GETS THE TORCH'S POWERS
-
In this five issue crossover the
X-Men accidentally take the Fantastic Four's powers and run amok with them,
leaving the other X-Men and the Fantastic Four to stop them. Gambit takes
on the Tourch's powers and he learns to flame-up very quickly. Along with
the very strange, but good, art, it makes X4 #1-5 an interesting read.
-
Each one of these issue will run
you less then $5.00 each anywhere. If you don't want to shell out $25.00
for the set you also have the option of grabbing up the X4 Trade Paperback
for a cover price of $19.95.

THE BACHELORETTE PARTY
-
This is an issue a lot of people
ask about. It's the Gambit stripper issue, Uncanny X-Men #425. Though the
person in the issue is not the real Gambit, it is a male stripper as Remy.
Polaris is having her Bachelorette Party at a local night club. After a
discussion with Northstar about Gambit's nice rear end she turns around
to Jean's wedding gift, her very own Gambit. It was said later she made
out with this "Gambit", but it was never seen.
-
Though it is not a real Gambit
appearance, it is a very cheap buy, so it worth the fantasy of it all.
Uncanny X-Men #425 can be bought for around $2.00. It can even be found
in some dollar bins!

X-23 (AND DAKEN) STORY ARC
-
Gambit played a major role throughout
X-23's third title series. Gambit was asked by his friend, Storm, to watch
over X-23 as she found her place in the world. The series also leaked over
into Daken #8 and #9, during the Collision crossover. The crossover gave
us a battle between Daken and Gambit that has been marked into history
as a pivotal scene in the Gambit mythos. The series and crossover has been
merited as the comeback of Gambit by many fans, thanks to the writers and
artists of the series bringing Gambit out of hiding and back into the forefront
as a major character.
-
This whole series can be purchased
for less than $4 an issue, which Gambit appears in the majority. Same with
the two issues of Daken. They can also be found in trade paperback.
