Cable #5 - Marvel


Ok! I finally feel like the story is progressing a little bit. I've been questioning why Cable would even come to this time period. It didn't make a lot of sense to me because there seemed to be nothing here for him . . no supplies, no preparations . . nothing. But, I guess . . that was the point. He wanted to take the baby someplace where no one would be looking for him. Someplace where they wouldn't be expecting him to stop. Well he accomplished that, basically, except Bishop was the one looking for him. And when he gets something between his teeth, he can be pretty tenacious. By the end of this story, Cable realizes that his time-traveling technology isn't completely broken . . he just can't go back in time. So to avoid Bishop, again . . he goes 85 years into the future. However, back where Bishop is, Cable has inspired Sophie not to just let things progress the way they have. She's decided to take matter into her own hands. So I don't believe that the story about her is complete yet. So anyways, it appears now that Cable has a little breathing room. So maybe he can get around to raising this little girl instead of just reacting to all of the violence around her. So far I like the story Duane Swierczynski has told here. It's not the same as Cable's original book . . or the Cable / Deadpool series. But . . that's ok. If it was . . why bother changing the book and title. And of course I love Ariel Olivetti's artwork. It continues to be incredible issue after issue. It looks like I'm in this one for the long run.
