Hey! It's the X-men! I haven't seen you guys in YEARS!

From CBR's preview of X-men Forever #6.

X-men Forever has been a blend of boggling and pure squee. But for me, this is the most recognizable the characters have been in years.

And what finer way to celebrate that than with an X-man tradition?

Written by Chris Claremont with art by Paul Smith and Terry Austin. It's like 1982 all over again.

	Hang on a second...the cast page in the CBR preview says that Gambit's name is Remy Picard. Wha? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	By the point they revealed Gambit's second name in the books back in the 90's, apparently, Claremont had already left. So this is just him leaving his stamp on it. And frankly, it's no worse that 'LeBeau', I think, which is just hamfistedly declaring 'PRETTYBOY'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ahhh...thank you! I was really confused about that. Personally, I'm used to LeBeau, since that's all I've ever known him as, but I'm oddly fond of Picard now, too, since it let's me imagine that Gambit is some sort of alternate-universe ancestor of Star Trek's Captain Jean-Luc Picard. :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, Gambit's adoptive dad is called Jean-Luc. (Reply to this) (Parent)
