Mr & Mrs X: Gambit and Rogue Appreciation 2019

I hate Soule's Gambit but I love that small Snape speach

Yeah, the whole run disappointed me, but it had little gems like that

Oh man, I forgot about that! That was almost cathartic haha of course, it still didn't top their fight in Civil War II

Also, another Romy page I love:

Happy 1 year anniversary to Rogue and Gambit!

Do you think their solo book wrapping up right after their first year of marriage was planned or just coincidence?

Let's celebrate with images of them together!

A year already? Damn, time just flies, it seems it was just the other day when those two got married.

Anyways, here's my favorite cover with them

That cover that Kelly says launched a thousand Romy ships. And that the cover with shock value given Rogue's powers. I'm surprised few post the Gambit #16 cover, but guess cuz they broke up in that issue.

can some one answer something for me, I was taking a break from comics at the time...someone in another thread said that Romy wedding was a course correction from Kitty's wedding?

I did not get that feeling at all. and why would they do that? didn't Catwoman Batman happen at the same time? if anything, they would have course corrected and made kitty/colossus stick with the wedding..

anyway thats my question. Is there any evidence that Rogue/Gambit wasn't planned? I think the twist was planned.

Hi four! So this did occur during roughly the same timeframe as the Bat/Cat wedding that didn't happen.

From all the interviews I have read, the original intent was for the Kitty/Colossus wedding to go through. But during the Marvel summit, Donny Cates suggested to do a twist/surprise and have it be Gambit/Rogue instead. To give a timeline, this hadn't been decided when the Rogue and Gambit miniseries launched in January, but was decided before the 5th issue came out in May (very obvious hints.)

As for why they decided to do it, I can't be 100% sure. Personally, I would say that I noticed very limited enthusiasm for the Kitty and Colossus wedding compared to Bat/Cat and some Kitty fans were/are outright opposed to the relationship. So not great press.

Meanwhile, the Rogue and Gambit miniseries was seeing success and acclaim and as a couple they are probably more recognizable and popular. Certainly on the forum here the reaction was largely positive. In the end, many fans were soured that Bat/Cat didn't go through with it and were really glad for the swap Marvel did which still gave them a wedding and many would argue a trade up.

Yep, I can't believe it's been a year either, and yeah, X-Men #24 is a great cover.

My favorite cover with them and one of my favorite images of the two together period is X-Treme X-Men #31. I think it perfectly captures the sense of fun and the friendship between the two that makes them such a great couple-

[AppleJ]

Loving all these! X-Men #24 cover - yes! That sweet moment by the campfire from the Rogue miniseries- made my little tween heart swoon. And that whole X-Treme era - wholeheartedly agree, that was a great time for them.

Let's see, I HAVE to add this one given my avatar:
