So I finally got around to reading these story was pretty cool seeing everyone mimicked. I actually would have loved more with Gambit and the bad guy. That whole Gambit impersonating him was very cool. nd yeah turns out Sinister is handsome as Gambit lol. It's all in the jawline. I really liked a lot of this for a lot of characters. I think I would have loved to have seen more backstory from Khan. Would have made the moment that much more powerful. But loved that Gambit was fighting for Rogue, himself and the kids. And mystique was quite good as well in her time in the comic. Solid story
Oh it's not even a little bit of a problem lol. I didn't even view it like that lol. Like I said I saw the panel of Gambit as Sinister throwing a card already. Just didn't know what it was from. And I was more interested in the origin lore you guys said was in there. That's actually the thing that made me want to read it.
Besides I have this weird habit. When I start a story, or a tv show with multiple seasons I always start on like one of the later seasons or issues. Because I like having a point in a story where I get to see how everything lead up to that point. My interest was actually higher than normal cause I love the "huh I guess you're wondering how I got into this situation" trope used in movies and shows. So seeing Gambits arc in the story was more interesting (to me personally anyway).
I would give this story a solid 8/10 for gambit stuff and the sheer amount of threads going on in one story which was awesome.
So what is everyone`s top 5 Gambit covers?
It was really hard to choose for me.
Gambit 16 by great Lee Weeks. First Gambit mini has all great covers by Weeks but that one on throne always has a soft spot in my heart.
X-Men 33 by Andy Kubert. The Heart of Thieves is my favorite Remy story. Great art and story. Just quality. We need more of that.
My top 3 covers:
Gambit 15 by Clay Mann. Damn, I love it! Focus on Remy and just pure pink energy. Simply beautiful.
Gambit 1 by Steve Skroce. Steve is my favorite Gambit artist. This cover shows great Gambit in action and awesome rich history with heroes and villains. Probably first pic that I will see when I want to describe Gambit as character.
And my favorite is Gambit 17 by awesome and only Clay Mann. That smirk, shadows and burning eyes. Aspects of characterization on cards. My favorite cover and others are not even close for me
Cool choices, Staptik777! I knew that there will be a lot of great and different covers.
Andy Kubert`s Old is Gold.
That Yardin one from Origins is one of the best ever and so dynamic.
Can`t go bad with classics.
Anime Gambit rocks!
The power of shirtless Gambit, Lol
I spent way too much time trying to decide haha

Oh, some great choices, Sandmans_Raven!
Larocca at his best on X-Treme.
Probably my favorite Anka cover! So much history there.
One of the best Lee! Wasthinking to add it to my top5 too. Iconic!
Not a fan of RED cover. He is like a 70 year old here.
Beautiful by Mann
I can't begin to narrow it down to only 5 favorites, but you guys already covered most of them. Here's a few I would add:
