X-MEN #24 1993 Rogue & Gambit Kiss Cover Andy Kubert Marvel Direct VF- 7.5 For Sale

X-MENISSUE# 24

• Emotional aftermath of Illyana\'s death from the Legacy Virus
• Rogue and Gambit finally complete a formal date together, inspiring the celebrated \"kiss\" cover
• The long, bizarre, retconned and problematic Betsy/Kwannon Psylocke swap begins its early days here

With Illyana Rasputin’s death still weighing on the mansion, Jubilee retreats into grief while Wolverine and Kitty Pryde try to reach her. Elsewhere, Psylocke and Revanche test each other—and the increasingly inconvenient question of which woman is really Betsy Braddock. Rogue and Gambit escape to Manhattan for gumbo, champagne, and an honest discussion about whether their relationship can survive Rogue’s powers. Gambit behaves with surprising restraint, proving that even a professional thief knows when not to steal a kiss. Banshee returns to Moira MacTaggert, while Cyclops and Jean Grey find some quieter reassurance of their own.
The cover promises a kiss. The issue is more interested in what one would cost. Billed on the splash page as a prelude to Uncanny X-Men #304, which is Marvel\'s way of saying: enjoy the carriage ride.
