Sorry, Gambit And Rogue #ROMY Fans, It's Just Not Happening (Astonishing X-Men #2 Spoilers)

I don't so much blame the nineties X-Men comics for the expectation that Rogue and Gambit will always be an item in the comics. It may have been the animated series that drew much from the Chris Claremont/Jim Lee era and what followed which cemented the idea in the minds of the public on this off-and-on-again relationship.

But there is plenty of fanfic. Oh, so much fanfic. Many people who want to see the two together again. Like the old days.

Something like that, yes. But today's Astonishing X-Men #2 by Charles Soule, Mike Deodato and Frank Martin not only has the Shadow King creating scenarios that seem to mock such shipping… watching themselves take on the form of Kitty Pryde and Colossus (currently going through a proposal situation in X-Men Gold)…

But then dash any possibility it could be them again.

They're totally over each other. And Marvel Comics does seem to be rubbing it in rather…

Astonishing X-Men #2 is published by Marvel Comics today.
