Ever Want to See Deadpool Fight Gambit? You’re in Luck.

Anyone ever feel like Gambit doesn’t get the love he deserves? No you say!? Whaaaaa! But he’s so cool! Wait, is he cool? I’m confused. Well, I have fond and nostalgic memories of Gambit from Fox’s 90′s cartoon and Jim Lee’s X-MEN so I think he’s kind of cool. In a way he’s the embodiment of the 90′s. The 90′s in its purest form if you will. And don’t let anyone tell you his mutant power is lame. It’s cool and using playing cards totally makes sense.

Anyways, it turns out Gambit is teaming up with America’s favorite “Merc with a Mouth” Deadpool for a new series from writers Ben Acker & Ben Blacker (is there a story behind those names?) with artist Danilo Beyruth. This should be good folks.

Gambit-one of the smoothest, best-looking operators in the world of the X-Men. Deadpool-one of the most annoying, ugliest dirtbags in the world of everything. Naturally, these guys got beef. But do you know what they have in common? A secret history of working together to pull con-jobs. That’s right-the grift is on as the Regeneratin’ Degenerate and the Ragin’ Cajun begrudgingly take on one last job together. Writers Ben Acker & Ben Blacker (THUNDERBOLTS, The Thrilling Adventure Hour) and artist Danilo Beyruth (GWENPOOL) lead us into the dirty underbelly of Deadpool and the squeaky-clean abs of Gambit!

This new series seems to be in line with a lot of Marvel’s other comedic offerings such as GWENPOOL or HOWARD THE DUCK. I don’t think it’s meant to be taken too seriously. And while I think this is a cool team-up book, what the quack is wrong with Cable and Deadpool. Can’t we just get more of that please!? I’m being serious.
