Legion of Superheroes Homage to Gambit Issue 2 ( An Infinite Timelines : When Worlds Collide : Tie-in Event )

Schooldays growing up in Ireland were a very bleak affair. Corporal punishment, long hours, brutally high academic expectations etc etc. But every so often the dull grey monotony of it all was broken by a classic James Bond movie that was shown on a reel to reel projector in the School Hall. It was heavily censored and the priest/brother or nun would fast forward the movie through anything sexual or suggestive. But those opening Bond movies, with the great soundtracks and the sexy, shadowy silhouettes sparked the imagination.....( among other things ;-)

I saw this cover and instantly remembered those moments of movie escapism . As Cham is head of the Legion Espionage/Spy Squad he makes for a good Bond or Gambit stand-in/ We have Snowbird in shadow as Cham uses his very own battered and tortured body as an escape ladder.

This piece was done in pencils by Geraldo Borges ( way back in 2014.....I DO plan ahead ) and inked by Jonas Trindade . Russ Payne of course gave it a very cool finished cover-like vibe.They may have escaped prison but make no mistake about it, Kang is STILL coming for Cham & Snowbird.....

Enjoy
