Social media is rumbling with the disaffection of fans frustrated with the reveal that Steve Rogers has been a Hydra agent for decades. So much attention has been paid to this that another backstory revelation, that Deadpool and Gambit have run con jobs together in the past, has gone comparatively unnoticed.
But this time, the secret history that stands revealed isn’t that much of a stretch.
Deadpool V Gambit #1 arrives June 22nd.
Official preview:
DEADPOOL V GAMBIT #1 Pits Merc Against Mutant This June!
New York, NY – May 26th, 2016 – Gambit – one of the smoothest, best looking operators in the world. Deadpool – one of the most annoying, ugliest dirtbags around. Naturally these two have beef. Be there this June when tensions reach their boiling points in DEADPOOL V GAMBIT #1 – a new limited series from writers Ben Acker & Ben Blacker (Thunderbolts) and artist Danilo Beyruth (Gwenpool)! Did you know that the “V” stands for “Vs.”? Crazy, right? Know what’s crazier? These two have a secret history together – working to pull con jobs across the Marvel Universe. That’s right, and now the Regeneratin’ Degenerate and the Ragin’ Cajun are begrudgingly taking on one last job together. What could possibly go wrong? Hey, is that Spider-Man and Daredevil?! The grift is go and the con is on this June as these two go head-to-head in DEADPOOL V GAMBIT #1!
