One of X-Men's most iconic, rocky, and painful relationships is, after too many decades, moving to the next level; marriage.
Tomorrow, Wednesday ,June 20th, X-Men Gold No. 30 will come out and we'll finally see Pitor Rasputin, aka Colossus, and Kitty Pryde do the due. However, as many comic tropes go, Kitty will back out, leaving the stage open for Gambit and Rogue!
Last month, Marvel released a standalone title, "X-Men Wedding Special" to lead up to the wedding. Now, after the apparent binding of the Southern Bell and Raging Cajun, a new ongoing comic book series will start next month called "Mr. and Mrs. X", written by Kelly Thompson with art by Oscar Bazaldua.
Though not much of a shock to the readers who know that Marvel loves to mess with their X-Men, Kelly Thompson, the woman who helped make this happened, by bringing Rogue and Gambit back together, was taken completely by surprise.
“Marvel likes to keep things interesting and throwing the wrench into things,” she said. “I think I was resistant to it initially, but that’s my mistake. It creates all this great conflict and intrigue.”
To help explain the decision making behind this move, writer Marc Guggenheim states:
"Comics, like TV and film, is a very collaborative medium. These are not my characters, they are Marvel's. … Part of writing other people's characters in a shared universe are that other ideas are going to end up supplanting yours. My job as a writer is to take those marching orders and write the best issue I can."
Mr. and Mrs. X No. 1 will be released July 25.
