The Thief is Back

I am not overly familiar with either James Asmus or Clay Mann besides knowing who they are but I think they have done a really good job with Gambit who recently has been a hard enough character for people to write in X comics let alone in a solo comic. I think Mann's art really suits Gambit and I can't think of any other people of the top of my head recently that have done him as good as this.

I really like how Gambit went back to his roots in this comic as we've seen Gambit the X-Man for years now but we also haven't seen Gambit the thief in years. I also liked how when it came down too stealing something it was very well thought out with all the new security gadgets that have came in since he last properly stole something. The only thing I wasn't as keen on in this was his costume when steeling, OK it's more stealthy but it just didn't feel the same but one minor thing is overshadowed by how good this comic actually is.

Final verdict. This is defiantly a great comic and I am looking forward too more of this and even better is the fact it's at a lower price of $2.99. So if you like Thief of Thieves that has nothing on this comic (and I like Thief of Thieves).

Rating: 4/5

It provided enough character background to know what is going on, but not too much to make you feel like it is forcing it on you…Overall, it was an interesting story, very nice art, illustrated good use of his powers and sk...

Honestly, I never really intended to give this title a look at all. Sure, Gambit was always enjoyable in the X-books that he would use to grace us with his presence, but he always felt like one of those characters who could never really support his own book, and so was best left as a supporter for books like X-23, X-men Legacy, and of course uncanny X-men.Then I read Hawkeye #1. And like everyone else who seems to have picked up that book, I started to be a bit more optimistic about a character ...
