However, everything hinges on a plot device that isn’t as appealing. Kelly Thompson plots Love and Marriage as a protracted superhero sitcom in space, continually throwing in roadblocks just when it seems the complications have receded, and even more familiar faces. Before long Deadpool and the Technet are also searching for an egg that Rogue and Gambit have, and, of course, eggs are meant to hatch. Thankfully, technology has now overcome that problem, and Love and Marriage begins with the love, the marriage following rapidly after, and by the end of the first chapter we’re already into the complications of the Shi’ar Imperial Guard gatecrashing the honeymoon. The Gambit and Rogue collection supplies a glimpse of a couple whose love can never be consummated, as any skin on skin contact for Rogue starts the process of her draining someone’s powers, memories and personality. All X-Men related characters have had their torturous ups and downs over the years, but Rogue and Gambit must be near the top of the traumatic experience list.
