The Gambit Guide: The 90's: 1990 - 1999

Welcome to the 90's!

This page contains the Gambit Spotting recommended reading order for Gambit appearances published between 1990 - 1999.  

Issues are listed in a roughly release-date chronological manner, grouping major arcs together for the best readability. 

Any AU appearances are also included (denoted in orange), and situated into the reading guide as close as possible to the arc where they occurred chronologically.

The Gambit Guide is still very much a work in progress, with issues being added weekly. Due to the fluid nature of the comic universe, there may be periodic additions to the guide and slight changes to reading order/ appearance levels. 

Appearance Key:

Green Highlighted Text =  Lead appearance- Lead, Co-Lead, appears on multiple pages, drives plot or has significant dialogue.

Blue Highlighted Text = Supporting Appearance - Appears on some pages, contributes to plot, or has some dialogue


Yellow Highlighted Text = Limited Appearance- Appears on one page or less, only seen in background or a wallpaper appearance, mentioned by other characters only.


Orange Highlight Indicates a variant, clone, or alternate universe/reality Gambit diverging from on converging with 616.
