Gambit Vol. 2: Tombstone Blues by James Asmus

This was a 3 star until I read the Gambit/Hawkeye story at the end. Too bad that was an A+X story and not Gambit, but it made this collection better.

Gambit you are such a JERKFACE.

Please continue.

This is incredible. It's hilarious, smart, sweet, and infuriating all at once. Gambit has such a heart of gold, but is always looking for trouble. That tendency is beautifully (and maddeningly) played out in his relationship with women, as he tries to help because he truly cares, but is a patronizing, sexist, MAN about it.
Also, there was so much Rogue in this! It makes me SO happy! They're SO cute, and they have so much history, and they love each other SO much. Even if they're not IN love (which I refuse to believe), they still love each other so much.
UG I love this book.

You know how when Matt Fraction started writing Hawkeye everyone was like, "Oh man I don't care if you like Hawkeye or not, you should definitely check this out??" This is like the opposite of that, I would only recommend it if you really like Gambit. Which I do, so, OK. It wasn't really as fun as the first volume, though. It got a little bogged down with some ~ethical quandaries~ that weren't even really a thing?

However, the Gambit/Hawkeye oneshot at the end is like 5 stars alone just for Gambit calling Hawkeye "Katniss."

3 stars for the actual story, but 4 stars for the short at the end.

Hmm. It's a comic.

Actually an improvement over the 1st volume, as the story is tighter and goes for more of a long arc than the previous collection. Still somewhat predictable, but with good guest stars and set pieces - the biggest problem is still Gambit, who I just can't care about. He's a series of potentialities, not a character. I feel like you could roll dice & tell a pretty good Gambit story. The prose X-Men novel I read earlier this summer did a better job with him than either of these collections.

Well, I tried.
