Last time, Laura and Gambit arrived in Madripoor looking to find Malcolm Colcord and wound up running into Tyger Tiger, who'd lost control of Madripoor thanks to Daken's machinations. Daken was nominally allied with Colcord, who was looking to restart Weapon X, and fought both Laura and Gambit. Eventually, though, he turned on Colcord when he, Laura and Gambit saw the experiments that Colcord had been doing on children. The facility was destroyed and Laura left with some respect for Daken, who was content with himself as the unquestioned ruler of Madripoor.Today is X-23 #10-12.Previous >>154992734
This is undoubtedly the most well known image from this book right?
>>155006627One of my favorite Gambit panels. I like he likes The Little Prince too.
I like this run because Gambit's basically telling Logan how a terrible father he is, which is funny because it comes from a guy whose own real father dropped him and his adoptive father made him wrestle alligators when he was three.
Issue 11>>155006841This whole arc is just blatant wish fulfillment on Liu's part between scenes like that where ooooh isn't Gambit so cute and all the baiting between him and Laura and Jubilee and Laura.
Issue 12
>>155006966I don't think she wants to ship him with Laura. Gambit's been known to have a soft spot for kids. He sees her as such.
>>155007430Liu is a hapa whose husbandos are Wolverine and Gambit and whose other favorite character is Jubilee. She ran fansites about this stuff back before she was even a writer. It's absolutely baiting because Laura is being used as her self-insert.
Similar to how the chick dating Nightcrawler in Uncanny is Gail's self-insert or Peter and Kong in USM were Bendis'.
That's all for today. Next time is X-23 #13-16.
>>155007136I love this panel
>>155008674The thing is I don't really remember Jubilee and Gambit having much of a relationship when she was on the X-Men. She was always around Wolverine and then later on got some stuff with Warren I believe.
>>155009187In comics, they were not close. It's a TAS thing and the writer likely mixed that up.
bump for read
>>155008674ultra cute vamp jubes
