Comic Book Cats, number 15: All-New X-Factor #3 cover drawn by Kris Anka and colored by Jared Fletcher, published by Marvel Comics in April 2014.I cannot say that I’ve ever been overly fond of the character Gambit. Cheesy costume, cheesy accent, cheesy powers, cheesy one-liners, and so on. I think Gambit would have worked much better if Chris Claremont had been around to use the original backstory he’d conceived for the character… but that’s a subject for another time.
However, Gambit clearly has one redeeming quality: he loves cats. Leave it to the super-talented Peter David, the writer of X-Factor, to once again take a character I previously did not care for and actually make him interesting.
Kris Anka has done a whole bunch of work for Marvel in the last several years. He certainly did a nice job on this cat-centric cover.
