Deadpool V Gambit #1 (Comics) Preview

Did you know Deadpool and Gambit have a secret history in the Marvel U? No? Well maybe that’s because it was just retconned in with the two hashing out their differences with one last job.

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!

Is it me, or has Deadpool been on the receiving end of more retcons than pretty much any other character in the history of comics? He was even worked into the original Secret Wars… and that took place way before he even existed!

Also kind of crazy, both Deadpool and Gambit have and are getting (respectively) major motion pictures. How nutty is that? No way I saw that coming. Unlike with Deadpool V Gambit, which you’ll definitely see coming as it kicks off with issue #1 on June 22nd.
