I'll admit I thought it ironic, but more to the boardie bo something or other, just wore out the character for me Is it ironic or baffling? Lol that it is truly someone's name, probably boggling haha

and I was just about to reply with Jim Lee being cocreator of Gambit wins out over Liefeld, but I can't knock Rob too much either, he did the best with what God gave him. I can appreciate it for what it is as well. I remember being young and saying "ah cool" several times, probably just out of love for the hobby

When the BACK Cover is BETTER than the FRONT Cover
ADAMANTIUM replied to grendel013's topic in Comics General
For the time even the title "new age" fit the bill for the art, or imo for retrospective. It now always reminds me of what I think the art to the last few issues of X-force are or similarly, a unique style that wasn't as prolonged as say the New X-Men Grant Morrison run. It all hits me kind of the same, but I think it is the coloring more for me rather than the ink or drawing, just that kind of pastel palette. -
Bishop is definitely the more interesting character. Far more interesting. I was thinking of a way to defend Gambit It was my favorite character as a kid until I got a subscription to the 1988 Wolverine series. I think part of that was not wanting my parents to object to interests. Also, what may be affecting my decision? (for me anyway or imo), is how you're introduced to the Gambit character. When I first saw him on the cartoon or video games, I had NO IDEA that he was a "new character". In that I was 10 years of age or so, the X-men just seemed as old as time and new members were an after thought. Others may have been accustomed to the stories at the time of the characters, and that would affect how Gambit would fit in. After that when Gambit was an old character say 2000's with apocalypse wrapping up or whatever, perceptions were established for piers to fill a newcomer in needle and the damage done. That's a record ~ beastie boys That is a long way to say, I see where y'all are coming from, as I might not think a new character now would be worth their salt until they had proved themselves with character building haha 😂 Too be young and naive. Other than the cartoon with him and Rogue, with southern accents that helped to "hear when reading the comics?" There is not much defense 🤔 not all southerners can talk or think like that, ahem, nor understand it right off the bat either. It might remind of us of home, but then again not too flattering otherwise @Cat @The humble Watcher lurking
