The first issue was released 27 July 2022. The Gambit miniseries, however, takes a very different view. The captions in the original comics suggested that little of note happened prior to that. Most of this was summed up by just two pages in 1990's Uncanny X-Men #267, with the plot skipping to the end of that time, when Gambit's ambushed by Nanny, the villain who'd regressed Storm to childhood. The X-Men also believe that Storm's dead (Gambit hasn't yet joined - or even met - the X-Men), and the powerful mutant known as the Shadow King intends to take advantage of Storm's isolation and vulnerability to corrupt and control her.Īgainst this background, Storm and Gambit first meet, outwit the Shadow King's initial attack, and then spend some time as thieves in New Orleans and the gulf states (but only robbing those who deserve it), with Gambit becoming the teenage Storm's new mentor. At this point in time, Storm's been returned to childhood by a villain, which has also scrambled her memories and limited access to her mutant powers. The series, set in the main Marvel Universe, is an Interquel set just after Gambit's first appearance (1990) in the Uncanny X-Men series, and co-stars Storm.
It's written by Chris Claremont, who co-created the character, and illustrated by Sid Kotian with color art by Espen Grundetjern.
Gambit (2022), subtitled Thick as Thieves for the collected edition, is a limited series from Marvel Comics, starring the eponymous Gambit.
