Marvel Comics has released a teaser for a new Gambit title.

The image simply shows the X-Man's name in purple across a black background, with the date August 2012.



The publisher has promised to make an announcement regarding the project at the C2E2 Comics and Entertainment Expo next weekend.

Marvel has also teased a project from Avengers vs. X-Men writer Matt Fraction and his former Immortal Iron Fist collaborator David Aja, which will also be unveiled at the convention.

Gambit was first introduced by legendary X-Men writer Chris Claremont in 1990.

He has been a mainstay of the team since then, and has featured in various spinoffs and adaptations including X-Men Origins: Wolverine in which he was portrayed by Taylor Kitsch.

No other details have been revealed about the project.
