Summary

This book is the Chinese-language Volume 5 of Marvel's 2012 Gambit (Vol. 5) solo series. The series, written primarily by James Asmus, centers on the X-Men member Remy LeBeau (Gambit), who hails from the New Orleans Thieves Guild: while becoming the new "King of Thieves" of the guild, he must also investigate the origins of an ancient artifact embedded in his own chest, traveling alongside the mysterious immortal thief Joelle. The series combines super-powered action with heist-film-style planning, disguise, and reversals; Gambit must deal both with gangsters and supervillains and with emotional entanglements with old flames such as Rogue. As the fifth volume of the series, this book continues the above main storyline; for the specific issues collected and plot details, please refer to the copyright page of the physical book.

Editor's review

牌皇是 X 战警中最具“类型片气质”的角色之一：他既是能操纵动能、把扑克牌变成爆炸物的变种人，也是新奥尔良盗贼公会培养出来的职业小偷。2012 年的这版个人连载正是抓住这一点，把超级英雄漫画拍成了“魔术师 + 大盗”的劫案故事——潜入、变装、赌局、背叛，节奏轻快，牌皇本人的油滑口吻与南方腔调是最大看点。对习惯了 X 战警团队大事件叙事的读者来说，这部连载提供了一种更轻松、更个人化的阅读体验：不需要复杂的背景知识，也能跟着主角“顺手牵羊”地进入漫威宇宙。中文版按卷次分册出版，适合希望逐册补齐收藏、或想认识牌皇这一角色独立故事线的读者。

对超能力打斗与犯罪题材不感兴趣的读者

Reading tips

建议先读本系列前几卷，了解神器与乔艾尔的来龙去脉，再读本卷。
阅读时留意牌皇的旁白与台词，其语气和幽默感是这一系列的核心魅力。
可对照原版 Gambit (2012) 的期数目录，确认本卷收录范围后再决定是否补全整套。
若只是初识牌皇，可先读《牌皇：盗贼之王》合集，再回头按卷精读。

FAQ

这本《牌皇》第 5 卷对应原版哪些期？

原版 Gambit (2012) 共 17 期，通常分为三本合集：第 1 本收 #1–7，第 2 本收 #8–12，第 3 本收 #13–17。中文版按卷分册，具体对应该系列的哪几册，请以实体书版权页与目录页标注为准，避免与其他版本混读。

没读过前几卷能直接看第 5 卷吗？

可以读，但会损失部分背景。本系列有一条贯穿主线：牌皇胸口嵌入的神器以及与不死神偷乔艾尔的关系。第 5 卷处于系列中后段，建议至少补读前面几卷，再进入本卷，人物动机与冲突会更清晰。

这一系列讲的是什么故事？

2012 年的《牌皇》系列由詹姆斯·阿斯穆斯编剧，讲述牌皇成为盗贼公会新一代“盗贼之王”，同时追查胸口神器的来历。故事包含危地马拉丛林神庙、盗取“王者之剑” Excalibur、与乔艾尔的合作以及对抗九头蛇等桥段，风格偏劫案冒险。

这个系列和 X 战警主线关系大吗？

关联不算紧密，更接近角色个人刊。Rogue、Pete Wisdom 等角色会客串出场，但不依赖大事件背景也能读懂。对想单独了解牌皇的读者比较友好。
