Which are you favorite Gambit stories?

My favorites are the first Gambit miniseries written by Howard Mackie, Lee Weeks and Klaus Janson, because this one really brings you down to Gambit's complicated life riddled with difficult choices and obligations, and Wolverine/Gambit; Victims by the super team-up of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, I think this story defines perfectly the psychology of the character and why he is the way he is.

Favorite?
Hard to say really. Not much to choose from.
I wish I had that 1st Gambit mini and the Fabian Nicieza ongoing.
I have a couple issues of the last ongoing series. Nothing too spectacular there.
I do have Wolverine/Gambit. That was pretty good.
I did like Mike Carey's Gambit: Origins one shot too.

@stumpy49er: X-Men Origins; Gambit was pretty good, but sadly nothing new happens there. I did like the second monthly series, but it was kind of a "lite" fun set of adventures, it didn't really develop the character. The first mini you can find reprinted in trades like X-Men; Gambit Classics, the first monthly is a bitch to get, I'm still buying the issues I couldn't find, I live in Mexico City, some of the issues were sold out before I could get them, and there's the elusive Wizard exclusive #1/2 :S

Gambit's first miniseries and

Wolverine/Gambit: Victims.

This story shows why he's better off being solo or just teaming-up with one or two X-Men characters (not Rogue).

Finally just read it.
Gotta say I loved this tpb. Definitely one of the best Gambit stories I've read.

X-Men #45 Hands down the best Gambit & Rogue story I have ever read.

Gambit's first mini-series is the best...and I liked him in early X-Men, written by Chris Claremont followed by Fabian Nicieza.

I like the Storm and Gambit one shot. These days he doesn't have any stories at all, so I am really hoping his series goes well.

I like the story from the on-going where all the assassins were out to get him?
