Why was this book cancelled?,

This review is from: Astonishing X-Men: Gambit, Vol. 2 - Hath No Fury (Paperback)
Gambit: Hath no Fury is the brilliant follow up to Gambit: House of Cards. The scripting is fast paced, the characterization is fierce and the penciling tight. All this technical brilliance sparkles around 3 tales of our favorite Cajun.
In Voodoo Economics, reprinting Gambit #7-9, we meet Detective Noreen Takana, a ruthless career driven police officer that get tangled up with our favorite Cajun as he must stop a plague of zombies from ravaging the Big Easy. No problem for an X-Man, right? Wrong. One of the zombies is an invulnerable mutant bent on gaining revenge for his wrongful death and another zombie with direct ties to Gambit. Add Brother Voodoo into the mix and you have another crazy adventure that's just fun to read. X, Lies, and Videotape reprints Gambit #10 and is easily my favorite of the three stories. Gambit return to the X-Mansion to steal back an incriminating DVD mailed to Rogue by a rival. While stealing one DVD shouldn't be a problem for Remy he's side tracked when Kitty Pryde commands him to mentor 3 of Xavier's students that were caught stealing. He DOES mentor them, by teaching them the proper ins and outs of stealing. However, as the unexpected keeps happening and Rogue is getting closer and closer to coming home, Gambit's chances of saving his relationship with Rogue are growing slimmer and slimmer... Thieves's World, Gambit #11-12, finds Gambit back in New Orleans and in the middle of a giant mess involving a former New Warrior, Detective Takana, and his ex-wife Belladonna. Everyone has their own motives and agenda, though most people just want Gambit dead. Who's behind all these loose plot threads forming a noose for Gambit's neck.... Well, you'll have to read this to find out. Seriously, this is one of the best X-Men graphics out there. If you like Gambit at all or are even curious about this book buy it and you won't be disappointed.

Gambit <3,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Astonishing X-Men: Gambit, Vol. 2 - Hath No Fury (Paperback)
As a HUGE Gambit fan, I am always trying to find anything with him in it. But this series isn't good just because he is in it but because the storyline is AMAZING! I couldn't stop reading it the first time I read it, and now that I own it I STILL can't stop reading it.

Huge Gambit Fan... so why the low review?,
This review is from: Astonishing X-Men: Gambit, Vol. 2 - Hath No Fury (Paperback)
I am a long time fan of the X-Men, and my two favorite characters are Gambit and Rogue. Despite that fact, even I feel that Marvel was completely oversaturating the X-Men line by releasing both this and a Rogue ongoing series, among others.
Now, at least the Rogue series had a point and ties to the overall X-Men mythos, but this series? Completely self-contained and easy to skip over, plus there is a plot point in this volume and the previous that seems designed to infuriate the Gambit and Rogue fans. Without giving away total spoilers, it involves Gambit doing a certain something, and then attempting to cover it up without Rogue finding out, guilt-free all the while. While I understand this series was mostly played for laughs (even I found it funny if you don't think about it too much), but this seemed out of character and will likely be ignored by current and future writers of X-Men. So in conclusion, save your money and don't support Marvel's weak attempts at making more money from X-Fans, especially when the stories are completely forgettable and have no relevance or future repercussions to the primary X-Men books.
