Solicit Synopsis
An ancient object possessed of power undreamed... a Clan of Thieves threatened by an ages-old evil... an X-Man caught in the crossfire! In 1887, a young Jean Luc LeBeau failed to deliver the arcane gem known as the Momentary Princess to the immortal Candra, bringing her wrath upon his family. Can Gambit succeed where Jean Luc failed - and outrace Candra and Fenris while doing so?!
Notes
- The first epilogue set in 2028 is an alternate future of the Prime Marvel Universe which has been conquered by Sentinels, where Gambit obtains the Momentary Princess. The exact reality of this scene is never expanded on but is likely to be Earth-1191 (at least when the story was written). It is presumed that the next epilogue set in 2084 (where the Witness strongly suggests that he is a future version of Gambit) is intended to be a continuation of this timeline as after obtaining the jewel in 2028, he then in 2084 sent it back in time to the past of Earth-616. However in Gambit & Bishop #1, Witness stated he was only assumed to be a future Gambit. As such whether the Gambit who appeared in 2028 is the same person as Witness, the actual Gambit from Earth-1191 or a Gambit from a different timeline than 1191 is unclear. As such unless this is ever clarified, the wiki will place these two characters on the Earth-Unknown Index.
