I vaguely remember those Dark Wolverine and X-23 issues, the X-23 vs. Daken storyline. But I wouldn't say Gambit lost that fight. Most of that fight/storyline was between X-23 and Daken. When Daken and Gambit fought very shortly in that one Dark Wolverine issue, Remy was actually kicking Daken's ass. Daken had to resort to trickery when he told Remy that X-23 was in danger and running out of time causing Remy to look at X-23's hurt body. Then in that split second when Gambit was distracted by Laura being hurt, Daken hit him with a rock behind the head. So I can't really say that Gambit lost that fight, at least not fairly.
But yes Checcetto's art is great, he needs to draw more of Remy.
It's VVernacatola and he has an DeviantArt account: https://www.deviantart.com/vvernacatola
He's got a lot of cool stuff of various fandoms. A feast for the eyes!
Yea you're right his art is really cool, definitely like his style. I wonder what a comic drawn by him would look like, his sketches are amazing.
They need to get Marco Checcetto back on the X-men titles. He needs to draw Gambit again.
Another great artist that I hope draws more of Gambit is Sana Takeda from the X-23 series by Marjorie Liu (who should also write more of Gambit). I know she was mentioned earlier in the thread but I saw this collage of her art, and it reminded me of how good her panels looked.

That would be amazing and I'm sure she would have a great take on Gambit. The development she wrote for Gambit in the X-23 solo was great and the interactions he had with Laura really showed how his character has grown. I wish Liu was still writing X-men comics at Marvel, one can dream.
Another little dream of mine would be to have Jim Lee draw Gambit in a comic again. Here's a sped up version of an 8 minute drawing of Remy that Jim Lee did a decade ago. He's still a master of comic art to me.
Jim Lee is my favorite artist for Gambit by far. When he draws a gambit you can feel the danger and threat in his face. That Gambit is the one to be feared.
Yea Jim Lee is great. His art from the old days holds up so well and his newer art, like the stuff he posts on his instagram, is amazing by today's standards. You're right his Gambit just exudes being a badass.
Even his Gambit sketches are great

I forgot about Mike Choi. He's another good artist who can draw a great Gambit. Here's some of his Gambit art:

Gambit vs Longshot in MMX 8
Full preview: https://www.superherohype.com/comics...gshot#/slide/1
What I would give to see Jim Lee or Mike Choi draw Gambit in a comic. I hope if/when he appears in a comic outside of Mr & Mrs. X, he's drawn by a great artist. Oscar Bazaldua isn't a bad a artist especially when it comes to his action panels but he can't draw Remy's face that well. The goatee Remy he's drawn in issue 8 is the best Remy has looked in MMX. The cover artist for MMX, Terry Dodson, really can't draw Gambit. All of Dodson's Gambits on the covers have looked pretty awful except for his Gambit on the cover of MMX #10.
