Deadpool V Gambit The "V" is for "Vs." No. 1

Deadpool v Gambit

by Ben Acker

Gambit- one of the smoothest, best-looking operators in the world of the X-Men. Deadpool- one of the most annoying, ugliest dirtbags in the world of everything. Naturally, these guys got beef. But do you know what they have in common? A secret history of working together to pull con-jobs. That's right- the grift is on as the Regeneratin' Degenerate and the Ragin' Cajun begrudgingly take on one last job together. Writers Ben Acker & Ben Blacker (Thunderbolts, The Thrilling Adventure Hour) and artist Danilo Beyruth (Gwenpool) lead us into the dirty underbelly of Deadpool and the squeaky-clean abs of Gambit!

Can already tell this is going to be a great series as this one was super fun and the art was A+!! Looking forward to seeing what these two get up to!

ps I loved the subtle comment shutting down the idea that super heroes are just for boys, nice going marvel!!

I laughed a lot with this one, it was hilarious, seriously, I totally enjoyed it, also the hamilton references!!! Deadpool is one of my favorite characters. I haven't read a lot of Gambit, looking forward to know a little bit more about him.

Esta es la serie que más he esperado este año, por fin es el momento. El arte es realmente genial, real realmente genial, y con mi tipo de arte. Además Remy y Wade juntos es obvio que iba a agradarme, tengo muchas expectativas porque los adoro (especialmente a Remy, no es nuevo).

Funny first issue. Wasn't a huge fan of the artwork though.

I'm not really sure where you could go wrong with a story like this, and it didn't.

youll never guess who remy and wade got into an unknowingly unnecessary fight because of; tehire villain is the black fox! raul chalmers though, he's not necessarily the 616 black fox that trained felicia hardy

"daredevil youre my ninth favourite super hero for boys!
daredevil is a hero for everyone!
nuh uh!"

"ypu cant escape justice spiderman!
you not the justice of me daredevil!" panel

"i think dardevil is being mind controlled or something. it happens. i for one am -full disclosure- kind of being mindcontrolled. ive had survivor stuck in my head since i ran into the punisher and he was blasting destiny's child from his van."

lmao the hamilton musical slander

aaaand turns out wade was in the spidey suit, remy in the daredevil one - smokeshow

wade in a ripped spiderman suit and the deadpool mask + the webshooters
smokeshow vol 2

"right hand man" by hamilton soundtrack mentioned

"did you jear that? a web shooter.
i didnt but i can stick to walls , so im not sweating it. we're all special." actual spidey and matt to save the day
the parallel between the two pairs is funny

"get in line. if i see chalmers i'll--
whatll you do to old raul fellas? come one. have a coffee with an old crook. you can always cut my throat after. im an old man. i got one more score in me and it's a doozy. the kind you dream about dreaming about. you boyes help me with it ans i'll give you all the loot from the last one. and much more. you dont gotta trust me, all you gotta trust is each other!"
and so it begins
and the next cover in the end is looking REAL good

half the jokes are not that strong, kind of outdated 2016 jokes about hamilton and vegan hipsters told one too many times
the combination being wade and remy is very solid though!

Was not expecting the Hamilton reference, thoroughly enjoyed that. On to the next one!

[Misa · Rating 3 out of 5]

High expectations, low result.

[The Batman · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved the musical references :))

[Jody · Rating 3 out of 5]

A decent first book, and the art work is AMAZING! I was just disappointed that the story wasn't that great. It had it's funny/entertaining moments but I thought it would be better! Gambit and Deadpool are probably my two favourites from the Marvel universe so I had high expectations for this one!

Deadpool sings Hamilton! And Destiny's Child! This Deadpool/Gambit run will be a fun ride.

[kaitlphere · Rating 4 out of 5]

Unusual narrative/timeline style for a whole issue, but a fun read none-the-less.

[Chris Conley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ridiculous.

[Agata · Rating 4 out of 5]

Deadpool logic <3

Had a definite sense of blah-ness to it, but will see where it goes from here.
