In the miniseries Deadpool v Gambit (recently released as a trade), the Merc with a Mouth teams up with the smooth Cajun con man to, what else, pull another con. The two have a secret history of working together even though, as happens with most people who know him, Gambit doesn’t much like Deadpool. But the real issue here is who’s really being conned?!

Comics Cosmos – Keeping Up With Jones
If you haven’t been to your local comic shop lately, you may have missed the new Jessica Jones comic book.
