4. “Going Rogue, Part 4”

Writer: Robert Rodi

Hey folks, we got some Gambit in here now.

I am on record as hating Gambit but that's not entirely true. I hate Gambit 90 percent of the time but that remaining ten percent I super love him. The James Asmus series being the most recent example. But here, he's on the way to see Rogue using his charm to get places. Oh yeah, this was during one of those periods where they attributed Gambit's charm to an aspect of his mutant power? They tend to go back and forth on that a bunch. Personally I'm not a fan.

Also Gambit is blind still. Not sure why. Hang on let me look. Okay, so I found a thread from a guy who was also reading this specific series and was confused. It turns out Gambit went blind because he was in a fight and someone shot his charged up playing cards and they exploded in his face and blinded himself. That is incredibly dumb. There's a little bit of Rogue stuff, mostly sexual tension between him and Campbell but most of the issue is just Gambit traveling.
