Welcome to the Gambit Appreciation 2022 Thread!

The X-Man and King of Thieves first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #266. He's since been a regular team member on different X-teams and had several solo books. Currently, he is married to Rogue and a part of the Excalibur team written by Tini Howard and has an upcoming book written by Chris Claremont!
Some of his most essential reads include:
Uncanny X-Men #266, 267
X-Men Vol 2 (issue 33, in particular)
Any of his solo series (but I personally prefer the Nicieza series and the Asmus series)
Mr. and Mrs. X
Rogue & Gambit
Astonishing X-Men by Marjorie Liu
X-Treme X-Men Vol 1 by Claremont
X-23 by Marjorie Liu
I know I had the same sentiment last year, but let's hope 2022 is better than 2021!
