I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Mr. and Mrs. X: Love and Marriage Vol 1-5 by Kelly Thompson (Writer), Oscar Balzaldua (Artist), Frank D'Armataa (Colorist), VC's Joe Sabino (Letterer),VC's Travis Lanham (Letterer),




Rogue and Gambit are finally getting married and Bling has offered to make them a pair of rings.  A surprise guest shows up--Rogue's mother--Mystique.  But she promises to cause no problems and she keeps her word.  She even agrees to be the something blue and to stay hidden in the back so she doesn't bother anyone.  Then Remy and Rogue go on their honeymoon to a planet with several moons.   But after six days of being inside the hotel Rogue is getting tired of being inside all the time and wants to go outside.  That's when she gets a call from Kitty about an object that needs to be rescued from the Shi'ar.  Remy isn't happy about having his honeymoon interrupted. Rogue has been wearing a power dampener so they can kiss and stuff but it gives her a migraine so she can't wear it all the time.

The two of them run into the Shi'ar and Rogue accidentally absorbs someone's powers and winds up outside into space when Deadpool rescues her.  Circe rescues Gambit off of the Shi'ar ship and lands him on a planet where Rogue and Deadpool are.  While Rogue and Gambit are "talking" Deadpool gets away with the egg which is the object Kitty wanted them to get.  Rogue and Gambit go after Deadpool and the egg.  The three of them run into the group Technet and agree to fight together.  Technet wishes that they had never met them.  When they get on the ship, they realize that the egg is cracked and opening up. When it does it is in the shape of Rogue.

They eventually realize that a person took the safe shape of Rogue when in fact it is the daughter of Professor Xavier and Liandaer former leader of the Shi'ar, but both are dead making Xander very valuable.  Rogue and Gambit get caught by the Shi'ar along with Xander as an egg.  The two of them escape and free Xander who changes their appearances.  They meet up with the Star Jammers who have Circe so they all land on a planet below.  Xander offers Rogue the chance to change her powers so that she can touch people but she turns it down.  She tried that once and it failed miserably.

Now they have Imperial Guard trouble coming at them hoping to get Xander.  When an explosion occurred blowing up Xander and Rogue leaving nothing but ashes.  The Imperial Guard leave and Remy and Cercie are left to grieve.  It's devastating for Remy to lose the love of his life especially after they've finally gotten married.

This comic will continue as Remy grieves and perhaps finds another wife.  This book was excellently written and beautifully drawn as Rogue looks rather adorable and Remy looks rough around the edges.  The Wedding looks soft and gorgeously drawn.  This was a fabulous comic and magically done. I've always wanted Rogue and Gambit to get married and go on an adventure together and now I get my wish. I love these comics.  I give them five out of five stars.
