Rogue & Gambit: Power Play Paperback – 9 Jan. 2024

Great story with lovely artwork. Highly recommended for any Rogue and Gambit fan.

I am a bit disappointed in this book, if I am being honest. Partly, this might be my bias, as Gambit is my favourite X-MAN, Rogue and Gambit are my faverite X couple. For me, this book does neither of them justice and resolves nothing.Rogue and Gambit are supposed to be on a well-earned vacation, among other things, to sort out their personal issues. However, Destiny (not Gambit's biggest fan) arrives with a mission for Rogue.The book started wrong for me. In all the years I have been reading comics or X-MEN, I have never seen Gambit drunk. He is always in control of every situation. Gambit had gone through a lot, and it was mentioned, but nothing was done about it.I am probably being unfair, saying absolutely nothing is resolved, because there is some trust at the end, though again I think the wrong person is being accused of being shifty. I was expecting a lot from this book, and I was expecting a lot more character development and got very little. The book finishes with a with a varient cover gallery and a recipe?

Rouge and Gambit have been, and always will be, my favorite X characters! Gambit particularly as we both come from the same culture, it’s like having a piece of my home in a world that I love!
