REVIEW: Everything New is Old Again in Cable #12

August 9, 2021

Cable is dead, long live Cable. After 12 issues, Gerry Duggan and Phil Noto’s run on Cable has come to an end, bringing Old Man Cable back to the forefront while winding down Kid Cable’s time in the spotlight. Finales are always tricky, even when planned from the start, and the ...

REVIEW: The Beginning of the End…Begins in Cable #9

April 5, 2021

The end is nigh for Cable, friends. Well, in a few months at least. Cable #9 is the first issue since official word got out that Cable would be ending with June’s #12, and the issue is, somehow, improved with this knowledge. Cable #9 is a quiet issue, a pseudo-farewell tour for Kid Cable ...

REVIEW: Cable #8 Made Me Hungry for Gyoza

February 25, 2021

Cable #8 reunites its titular teen with one of his most reliable, constant allies: Domino. Of course, between the decidedly poorly executed Deadpool appearance earlier in the series and the complete lack of history between this Cable and Domino, there’s quite a bit of room for things to ...

REVIEW: Cable’s Post-X of Swords Return Misses a Step

January 27, 2021

With X of Swords in the rearview, Cable has returned from a brief hiatus to check-in with its sword-wielding mutant teen lead. Cable’s spotlight moments in X of Swords proved to be some of the event’s most emotionally powerful, putting the cocky kid through the emotional wringer and ...

REVIEW: Cable #6 Rises High, as its Hero Falls Low

November 24, 2020

X of Swords rages on, and since the last time we checked in with everyone’s favorite time-tossed tactical teen…a whole lot of shit happened. Cable #6 is Chapter 19 of the event when Cable #5 was Chapter 8, so it might be more than a little jarring if you are a reader who, for ...

REVIEW: Family Road Trip-Meets-Alien in Cable #5

October 19, 2020

X of Swords is here! The sprawling 22-part epic has arrived and, surprising no one, Krakoa’s favorite psychic teenager with a big space-sword is joining the party. As it is with most event tie-in comics, the question is how well it succeeds as both a piece of the XoS event and an issue of ...

REVIEW: Cable #4 Doesn’t Challenge Readers, but is Fun as Hell

September 15, 2020

Cable, like most teenagers, thinks he knows everything. Thankfully, also like most teenagers, he is hilariously wrong. After a significant misfire in Cable #3, the series returns to the fun, engaging tone and standard of quality established since launch. While not a perfect tale, the end of ...

REVIEW: Cable #3 Misses Its Target

August 19, 2020

I was along for the ride in the first couple of issues, but I have to say that Cable #3 has a little too much of some things I am absolutely not fond of. Chief among them? Well, it starts with Dead and ends with Pool.

REVIEW: Cable #2 Provides A First-Page Stinger

August 4, 2020

I mentioned last time that Cable had been among my lowest expectations for the current line of X-Books, and how happy I was to be surprised. While the second issue feels a little slight in comparison, it’s got some really, really gratifying moments.
