Series: Gambit

Summary

This volume is the seventh installment of the Gambit fifth series (2012–2013), corresponding to Gambit (2012) #7, "Stiff Upper Lip," and related material. The story continues the British storyline of the previous volumes: after being forced to work for a crime boss, Remy LeBeau, Gambit, becomes a wanted man in the British Empire, hunted by MI13 agent Pete Wisdom and his people—while the mastermind manipulating him also decides to silence him. With only his cards and his silver tongue, Gambit must play both sides against each other to find a way out. The volume also features the Black Knight, Faiza Hussain, and the artifact Excalibur, continuing to showcase the wit and charm of the New Orleans scoundrel-thief amid theft, pursuit, and covert intelligence warfare. It suits readers following the series from the previous volumes; newcomers should start with Volume 1.

Editor's review

牌皇是X战警中最具个人魅力的角色之一：赌徒、盗贼、浪子，却始终在正邪之间游走。第五卷系列由詹姆斯·阿斯穆斯执笔，把这位新奥尔良出身的变种人放在盗窃、间谍与超能力混战交织的舞台上，节奏轻快、对白俏皮。本册把故事推向英国线的高潮：一边是老牌特工皮特·威斯登和MI13的追捕，一边是幕后主使的灭口，牌皇的狡猾与临场应变得到充分展示。对于追X战警衍生刊、喜欢“盗贼题材＋超级英雄”组合的读者，这一册是了解牌皇个人故事的重要一环。
