A lifetime ago, Lighthouse Orphanage was a beacon — but then, the foundation crumbled. The beacon fell into darkness, and a force of nature was born. Years later, he’s the Floating Man, abandoned by society and driven to build one of his own. He is big brother and protector to all, unable to see that he carries one more title — jailer. Wendy Hoke sees her chance to free herself and the rest of the Floating Man’s captives. She has to take the Floating Man’s spot. She has to become the big sister of the family. Because families fight. Sometimes, they even fight back.
When X-Men of Apocalypse: Omega #1 hit stands earlier this month, readers were startled to learn that one of the Age of Apocalypse X-Men’s trip to the main Marvel Universe had only just begun! Jeph Loeb and Simone Di Meo’s epic anniversary series ended with the Gambit of Age of Apocalypse swapping places with his 616 counterpart. Now, the story continues in the previously announced Gambit: Gone limited series by Steve Orlando, Edoardo Audino, and Gerado Sandoval, hitting stands next month. The saga follows the dual journeys of the two Gambits with Audino handling the Age of Apocalypse Gambit’s quest in the 616, while Sandoval catches up with our Gambit in the dystopian Age of Apocalypse.
Two worlds. Two Gambits. Two quests. One for redemption…and one for personal gain. In two intertwined tales, Remy LeBeau will face his demons… and the demons of all mutantkind… in an adventure that pushes the limits of the reformed Gambit to their breaking point. What kind of hero will emerge? And face-to-face with different versions of the woman they love—what kind of husband will he prove to be?
Check out all four covers from Simone Di Meo, ACO, Russell Dauterman, and Meghan Hetrick along with a never-before-seen first look and preorder Gambit: Gone #1 at your local comic shop today! The first issue comes to shops September 23.

It’s father versus son on Earth’s war-torn streets as Thomas Bruin faces the Oort Worldkiller and his invading army. With no better choice, Bruin suits up for a final stand, fully aware he may not survive — and maybe not wanting to. Victory means confronting a lifetime of lies and betrayals; failure means planetary extinction. For once, Bruin stops thinking about his reputation and focuses solely on saving Earth, no matter the cost. And if he’s lucky, he might finally die the hero he spent years pretending to be. The fate of the world hinges on a battle written in blood.
