Remy LeBeau has always been trouble. This September, Marvel is doubling it.
Popverse has announced Gambit: Gone, a five-issue limited series from writer Steve Orlando and artists Edoardo Audino and Gerardo Sandoval. The series spins directly out of the events of X-Men of Apocalypse Omega #1 and tackles a new reality for the Marvel Universe: there are now two Gambits. It also features a main cover by Simone Di Meo.
The new series follows both versions of Remy LeBeau as they navigate their unusual circumstances. Each Gambit will have his own story path, with the twin narratives gradually drawing closer together as the mystery behind their coexistence unfolds.
Orlando was eager to continue the story introduced by Jeph Loeb and Simone Di Meo.
“Following up on the ending of Jeph Loeb and Simone Di Meo’s X-Men of Apocalypse took me off-guard in the best way!” said Orlando in the announcement. “I was lucky enough to work with the Cajun in X-Men Infinity–and we got on famously. The charisma, the pot-stirring, the swagger and confidence enlivened every scene he was in! For me, it’s been that way since I first met him in 1992. So to find out we’d have not one, but TWO Gambits, well…I just had to roll the dice.”
X-Men of Apocalypse Omega #1 by Jeph Loeb and Simone Di Meo, arriving August 5. That issue sets the stage for the unexpected status quo that sends two versions of the Ragin’ Cajun into the Marvel Universe.

Gambit: Gone #1 arrives in comic shops on September 2.
