![]() All the little buzzes, and objects breaking or being crashed into, make the comic worthwhile. Her lettering brings forth sounds typically taken for granted. As always, Gómez’s art is astounding and Curiel amazes with luminosity.Ĭomparatively, the lettering by VC’s Ariana Maher ( Catwoman, Excalibur, The Forged) continues to be a wonderful addition to the comic book. There are more close-ups than usual, but with good reason because when newer information becomes available to characters the more their reactions are authentic and less forced. Colors by Curiel ( Action Comics, Avengers, Savage Tales) vividly display a colorful point of view, which keeps readers enthralled. The action is solid, the juxtaposition isn’t jarring, and the flow of the panels retains an unshaken focus on story development. Similarly, in the first issue of Rogue & Gambit, Gomez’s style doesn’t falter. ![]() Returning as the artist for the story, Gómez ( X-Treme X-Men, Power Pack, Sinister War) keeps a steady pace in artwork for the comic book. ![]() Additionally, the interview that Rogue has somewhere near the beginning of the comic book is an entertaining addition as an interval from the main story. She progresses the story with new information while at the time maintaining a level of secrecy. In fact, there is a right amount of dialogue and action equally throughout the comic book. Rather, a story that not only focuses on a relationship but also on how well they work together against outside forces. Phillips continues to write Rouge & Gambit #2 as a story that doesn’t depend on over-the-top action or unnecessary reveals. Readers get to see a side of Remy that expresses his concern for Rogue rather than his irresistible charm, but at the same time, readers observe Rogue’s tenacity. This gives them a chance to voice their opposing opinions about Destiny’s supposed plan to prevent a calamity as well. The setback is good because it allows the couple to talk about their current mission. Philips ( Detective Comics, Devil Within, Averee) places Rogue and Remy in a tight spot. And where exactly is Manifold being held captive? Between their love life and a quest to save lives, their vacation time must be put on hold until further notice. Through this misunderstanding, the couple has put a target on their backs that is attracting unwanted attention. An unexpected guest crashes the two’s downtime with the locals, and he just so happens to be a part of the Avengers. Exhausted, they find a place to rest and have a little fun. Still determined to follow Destiny’s task, Rogue is steadfast in locating Manifold. The story continues as Rogue and Remy try to come to terms with their mutant abilities having difficulty working when they want to. The situation goes awry in Rogue & Gambit #2 as they are now separated from Manifold and find themselves somewhere in Nevada. Two lovebirds can’t seem to catch a break, not even during a resting period. By Howard Smith LOST BUT STILL KICKING IN ROGUE & GAMBIT #2 REVIEW
