This was slightly better than expected. Skroce's art is dynamic and the colors are bright, even though I think he draws weird cheekbones. The plots, however, are overly complicated and seem to head nowhere. There are 2 interludes in each issue and they still haven't been resolved after 11 issues. At this point they just feel like random pop-ins by an old lady in ling This takes place right after the X-Men find out about Gambit's involvement with the Massacre in X-Men: The Trial of Gambit. At this point they just feel like random pop-ins by an old lady in lingerie. They're creepy but not in a scary way as much as an "ew" way. How Gambit got out of Antarctica was just dumb. Lobdell wrote Gambit into a corner and Nicieza did his best I guess to get him out. Read as single issues, Gambit's adventures are fine, but the long range plotting is terrible and just spins in place each issue. Instead of just dropping it, Nicieza makes sure and reminds X-Men: Gambit: The Complete Collection Vol. 1: Vol. 1 each issue that it's headed nowhere. Dec 28, Adam Graham rated it really liked it. The story is set in the aftermath of the Trial of Gambit when the X-Men abandoned him in Antartica after they found he led a band of mercenary mutants to the sewer-dwelling mutant, and the Marauded slaughtered the Morlocks, even though Gambit tried to stop them. Gambit was rescued by the New Sun who expects him to steal stuff, which Gambit does in his time away from the t This book collects the first X- Men: Gambit: The Complete Collection Vol. 1: Vol. 1 issues, the Annual, a half Issue, and an Issue of X-Men unlimited featuring Gambit. Gambit was rescued by the New Sun who expects him to steal stuff, which Gambit does in his time away from the team: ng else. This book features several strong points and several weaknesses. The good: -Emotional fall out from the Trial. This is explored throughout the book as Gambit copes with it as does his team. Gambit has been abandonned as a child, kicked out of the thieves as an adult, and now this, plus there's guilt over what happened to the Morlocks. Probably one of my favorite stories in here was the X-Men unlimited which showed him speaking to specters of the X-Men in deciding how to deal with Hydroman. This is how participation in a cross-over be done if it it has to be. Both were well done, but the Daredevil one was particularly good, creating a good conflict and a sense of mystery. The bad: A theme about New Sun and it's true intents is tossed around, and a mysterious lady visits people in their dreams to get information about Gabmit. These take several pages out of each issue. While I appreciate the series eventually answered these issues, it doesn't even feel like the plot moved on these two points. While this is nowhere close to early to mid s excesses, this book does have some art issues that reflect its times. Overall, an okay book, that's not a bad read, even better if you're a Gambit fan. This was a collection of Gambit stories from the mid-nineties that X-Men: Gambit: The Complete Collection Vol. 1: Vol. 1 completely missed, despite that being when I was first into comics, and that he was one of my favorite characters. I recognize the era from some of the background X-Men characters, but don't remember any of the specific events that are referenced, so maybe this was just after my time. While the art in some of these issues isn't stellar, the stories are enjoyable, and Gambit is a lot saucier than I remember but probably just be This was a collection of Gambit stories from the mid-nineties that I completely missed, despite that being when I was first X- Men: Gambit: The Complete Collection Vol. 1: Vol. 1 comics, and that he was one of my favorite characters. While the art in some of these issues isn't stellar, the stories are enjoyable, and Gambit is a lot saucier than I remember but probably just because I was a kid and didn't get it. The stories were a lot of fun, and involved several X-Men: Gambit: The Complete Collection Vol. 1: Vol. 1 storylines. I do think they got better as they went, but I enjoyed them throughout. I do wish this volume had gotten to the bottom of the New Son storyline, but I guess I'll have to wait to read that at some other time. Apr 11, RG rated it liked it. The colours were extreme and popping, the story or plot was so overly complicated for no reason and there seemed like too many villains attemtping too many things. I hope theres more of Gambit out there because he's a character that I've always loved since my cartoon days. Jul 09, Timothy Shea rated it really liked it. The art by Steve Skroce is incredibly detailed and wonderful. The stories by Fabian Nicieza are a little dated but still hold up really well. There's a type of banter Nicieza uses in the script that is very much of it's time but still a little charming a little corny but ultimately fun. The stories are a blast. I had a lot of fun reading this volume of Gambit stories and I look forward to the next one. Gambit has always been one of my faves I even did up a lego portrait huge one too of him. I enjoyed this Feb 12, Eric Mikols rated it liked it Shelves: x-men. I can't say I' not a little bit X-Men: Gambit: The Complete Collection Vol. 1: Vol. 1, but most of the flaws of this book simply come from the times. The late 90s weren't a great time for the X-Books in . If I had read this back inI would have loved it, but as of now, it's more a curiosity for a completest.

This is an odd book. It collects the back-up stories from the Classic X-Men X- Men: Gambit: The Complete Collection Vol. 1: Vol. 1 which are occasionally hilariously weird, but are often some of the best character moments of the old X-Men. This also collects, though, the random new pages added to the reprints when Classic X-Men was first published. Each chapter begins with a brief synopsis, so the pages aren't totally random, but you only get the new pages, not the original ones, so it's a very disjointed experience. Overall, I don't know who This is an odd book. Overall, I don't know who the target is--the reprint pages and the 'vignettes' don't seem to be aimed at the same reader. But, oh well, I enjoyed it. Dec 29, Michael Rickard rated it liked it. Provides some backstory to help maintain continuity in the ever-growing X-Universe. Some of the backup stories are very good while others are average at best. A good concept that wasn't executed to its fullest potential. Artwork is consistently good throughout. Aug 29, Charles rated it liked it Shelves: comics. If you are a fan and wanted a collection of everything Claremont wrote about mutants during his first classic 17 year run, the bonus stories he wrote for the 80s Classic X-Men reprint series were hard to find. This volume is an excellent collection of this material, and throws in great historical perspective on further edits and additions made in the reprint series to update and fix the original stories. As to the stories themselves, they are a bit hit or miss. The most effective provide welcome character shading X-Men: Gambit: The Complete Collection Vol. 1: Vol. 1 was impossible when their parent stories were first published, either because of space or the advanced sophistication in writing. The others were either average or pointless. Sep 21, Jefferson rated it liked it. A few of these tales provide some insight into the characters and events from 's early X-Men saga, and John Bolton's artwork is always a treat to look at. However, the majority of them veer between irrelevant filler and over-explaining or worse, outright retconning minor points of continuity, which often serves only to undermine the subtlety of the original stories.

And surprise surprise, it's a little uneven overall. But it's definitely worth reading, and it's an important part of X-Men history that I'm sadly behind on. Some of the storylines are less than engaging, but the characters seem really solid to me. I'm actually sad that I X-Men: Gambit: The Complete Collection Vol. 1: Vol. 1 out on X-Men: Gambit: The Complete Collection Vol. 1: Vol. 1 this when it was happening. Aug 24, James DeSantis rated it it was ok. This was pretty damn boring. So the start was interesting. The X-Men move to San Fransisco and the storylines begin to play against sexual hate crimes against homosexuality. On top of that we have Cyclops not being a little bitch anymore and also dealing with using the X-Force behind everyone's back. Oh and get some more Peter storyline because Good: I liked the start. The storyline had a upbeat feel and fresh. I also thought them depiciting the hate crimes of b This was pretty damn boring. I also thought them depiciting the hate crimes of beatings that sadly gay people go through was tough to watch but faithful. I liked a lot of that in the first few issues and then Bad: The rest of this book seems aimless. Characters go nowhere, neither does the story. I hated all the storyline with Peter, was dumb as hell. Our ice queen seems like a baby here. I thought the sulking around more than usual by the end was bad. The dark reign storyline in the middle of it messed up the little flow it had. Overall this started off interesting but fell quickly down. View 2 comments. Apr 18, Lesley added it Shelves: comics-graphic-novelsabandoned. This was my first foray into X-Men. I figured Fraction was a safe way to go. I didn't count on Greg Land forcing me to abandon it halfway through the first issue. Sep 24, Aildiin rated it really liked it Shelves: comics. These are more mature x-men with sexy art and all in all it's rather good. Sep 13, Adam Williams rated it liked it Shelves: marvel-comics. Matt Fraction actually did a better job with the writing than I expected based on generally middling ratings of this run, but I almost couldn't notice it past how bad Greg Land's art is. Land apparently alternated story arcs with Terry Dodson, and this collection sadly has two arcs of Land. I thought the criticism of how porny Land draws women was exaggerated a bit, but nope. Every woman is identical, they all have constant ear-to-ear smiles in total contrast to expressing any character, and eve Matt Fraction actually did a better job with the writing than I expected based on generally middling ratings of this run, but I almost couldn't notice it past how bad Greg Land's art is. Every woman is identical, they all have constant ear-to-ear smiles in total contrast to expressing any character, and even the teenage is porny. Ultimately Matt Fraction's script was pretty clever, Terry Dodson's art is much more respectable, and the X-Men: Gambit: The Complete Collection Vol. 1: Vol. 1 reminded me of classic-style Uncanny X-Men stuff, enjoyable if not profound, so I'll probably read volumes 2 and 3. I'm just bracing myself hard to get past Greg Land next time. Marvel should be embarrassed to keep giving him work. Nov 15, Baba rated it it was ok Shelves: x-men-verse-snikt. Lovelorn X-Men: Gambit: The Complete Collection Vol. 1: Vol. 1, creation of the X-Club, the coming of the Sisterhood and more Dec 27, Garrett rated it liked it. Fraction's got them during the bright and shiny Cyclops period, just after Whedon and Cassaday made them awesome again, and while Land's people are pretty, they seem to smile inappropriately, and they wear the eyes after a while. Like the Dodsons on X-Men, and love the way they're written here, with big future plans and layers of character story. Sep 21, Jeff rated it liked it. I love that my public libraries carry graphic novels and trade paper back of comic book series. This allows me to catch up on things like the X-Men. The mayor and overall community of the City by the Bay welcome them and it is a bit of a difference for the group of super heroes who protect a world that hates and fears them. Cyclops is leading a team that is facing the repercussions of I love that my public libraries carry graphic novels and trade paper back of comic book series. Cyclops is leading a team that is facing the repercussions of M-Day where the de-powered most of the world's mutants and the entangled situation where the first mutant birth since Wanda's actions had taken place. This is not your father's X-Men or yours if you are like me and grew up with them in the s. It was fun catching up with the X-Men, but the overall collection was choppy and not the best paced. You could tell that other things were either building up or happening in other corners of the Marvel U especially for someone like me who thoroughly enjoyed Dark Reign and to me if you didn't read outside of the X-books, you could feel a bit lost. The Sisterhood story arc felt to be highly built up and an overall fizzle. The actually conclusion lacked the spark that has happened in other arcs. It could be the fact that I really haven't read the X-Men since the late 90's with the exception of Whedon's run on Astonishing or maybe the fact that the overall paring of art and story wasn't may favorite. Not to say that the overall X-Men: Gambit: The Complete Collection Vol. 1: Vol. 1 was horrible, but this probably more of a 2. Sep 12, Christina rated it liked it.
