New York Comic Con 2017: 10 Major Anouncements That Must Happen
10. The Creative Team Behind Gambit And Rogue
Marvel Comics
Announced just last this week, an as of yet unknown creative team will be taking to a Gambit and Rogue comic this January, with information regarding the project (and a Legion spin-off comic) being withheld until NYCC begins this weekend.
It very much feels as though the X-Men are on the up, now that Wolverine's returned and the whole business regarding the Inhumans is over and done with - certainly in the comics at least. Gambit and Rogue are the biggest power couple of the group (Scott and Jean aside), and to see them side by side again is brilliant to see.
Rogue seems to playing a key role in Legacy going forward, boasting a leading part in the newly announced Avengers: No Surrender (more on that in a second), as well as a plethora of X-titles going forward, so it could be the case that there's more to this team-up than meets the eye.
In any case, we should have a clearer picture of what's in store once the creative team gets announced, which should (hopefully!) happen at tonight's Next Big Thing panel.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
