Hey all, the New Year is almost upon us! Hopefully 2021 will be a better year for everyone, including Rogue and Gambit! Krakoa hasn't done much for them so far. Fingers crossed to see them get some actual action and plot contributions in the Reign of X era.
Remember to vote for themes/prompts for Rogue and Gambit week 2021 here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...7-avw/viewform
Voting ends December 31st!
Fanwork creations (fan art, fan fiction, fan edits, etc) will be posted in late February to celebrate this dynamic duo.
Also don't forget to vote for your CBR best/worst of 2020.
I know it was a year that was hard to get excited for, but your opinion matters!
Results 1,546 to 1,560 of 1563

Blech, that second one kind of ruins the first one for me a tad. Originally Posted by Purplevit

If not for BLT, I probably would find it kind of funny.

Well now, how about THIS one? By Jay Anacleto.
Also ... why do they keep giving us all these gorgeous variants and no real stories?
After hearing about today's big X-Men #16 reveal, my thoughts are we will NOT see Rogue or Gambit on the new X-Men team.Last edited by AppleJ; 12-30-2020 at 02:13 PM.

Why are there so many Gambit variants? Is there something special about next month?

The second one brought to my mind a scene from an old Flintstones episode where Fred keeps saying to himself begrudgingly..."I love my mother-in-law, I love my mother-in-law, I love my mother-in-law..." Originally Posted by AppleJ

Because they like to take Gambit fans money and not give us any actual Gambit content? Originally Posted by Havok83

Wow! That one is amazing! I may have to try to get one even though I am not a fan of Hickman's X-Men books. Originally Posted by AppleJ

Yep, I voted in some of the categories. I am hoping the "Mr. & Mrs. X demoted from X-couple of the year to cameo king and queen" pick does well in the low point of the year category. I noticed a lot of people voted for it. Originally Posted by AppleJ

Would anyone be interested in a letter campaign to Marvel to see more Rogue and Gambit content in X-Men? And more meaningful Gambit and Rogue content at that? Or even a "Bring back Mr. & Mrs. X" campaign, which might be a little harder sell ... not sure it has the numbers for an ongoing, but even another mini or maxi would be nice?
Of course be kind and professional, but state what you miss seeing from them? How they could be better utilized either within Excalibur or maybe outside of it?
At this point it's that or we wait it out another year.

Exactly. Marvel wants Gambit fans money but are not interested to use him. Originally Posted by AppleJ

Wouldn't it be nice if Rogue and Remy were nominated for X-Men status, per the most recent Krakoan voting announcement?
I mean, they are off in Otherworld doing the most to find/save/rebuild/whatever Betsy so ...they likely wouldn't know they were getting votes or whatever but.... that'd be nice if they could pivot to another team/purpose.
What is going on in this cover? Originally Posted by AppleJ
