Gambit #9

Remy LeBeau looks every inch the charming rogue on Clay Mann's sleek cover for this 2013 Marvel series, standing back-to-back with a tattooed woman in a green dress who crackles with luminous energy — both of them carrying guns and radiating danger. Surrounding them in a red-tinted grid of panels are a cast of intense, watchful faces that hint at a web of allies and adversaries closing in. James Asmus's run continues to blend stylish spy-thriller atmosphere with mutant intrigue, and Mann's artwork gives the whole thing a sophisticated, cinematic edge.
