X-Men was better. I liked Gambit.

Listen up, little boy, X-Men is a TEAM book. That means in order to carry the one franchise, you've got a revolving door of characters. They go in, they go out, they die, they turn evil. Your precious Gambit? Duh..he fucking betrayed the X-Men for Apocalypse! Became the Horseman Death!

Batman on the other hand..he carries his own titles--yes, titles, plural--by himself (though he does of course have a fantastic group of supporting characters) while also maintaining a slot on the rooster of the Justice League.

If you like long, drawn-out storylines that are just vehicles for a hero's angst (and I do), then sure, the ones who are taken against their will by Apocalypse can be pretty awesome.

I know, right? I took French in high school so I could be all like "bonjour mon amis, I'm gonna kick your ass" and shit like him. But then I slept through most of it and now I don't remember anything.

Geez.

1) Gambit is Cajun. High school French is French from FRANCE, not Cajun French.
2) Gambit's Cajun French isn't even RIGHT because Marvel writers are idiots!

Well there wasn't a class for Cajun French, asshole.

Ahah, man, at least you tried? I'd be bored to death by that kind of shit. That X-men movie coming out? I hear Gambit's gonna be in it. About time.

They've said that before every X-Men movie and every time, it hasn't been true. And by the way, there's going to be a Wolverine movie and a Magneto movie before your precious X-men 4.

The Wolverine one, origins. I'm looking forward to that, and I think that was the one Gambit was gonna be in anyway. Magneto movie? Seriously? Sweet.

No need to be so harsh, yeah?

DC vs. Marvel is a serious issue!

I like them both. Marvel could do with less retconning. What about Amalgam?

Amalgam is pretty sweet.
