I was in Athens Greece comic con a couple of days ago and i went to see Chris Claremont. After the usual topics like Phoenix DOFP Cockrum Byrne etc he talked a bit about the time he got fired (thats what he said, i thought he left) from marvel the first time in the early 90s. He told us if he continued write the book back then we would never see the Gambit-Rogue pairing but instead Gambit would end up with Shadowcat (wasn't she in excalibur back then?) . I hated the idea but this man is the X-men for me so propably he could make it work back then. what do you think?
