Well, Ariel Olivetti takes a break from his outstanding pencils this issue . . sort of. Actually, he only draws about a third of this book . . the rest is done by Michel Lacombe. It's ok. It's not as good as Ariel's stuff, but . . that's kind of the point. This issue, after being focused on Cable for the last 5 issues, we get a glimpse of what Cable's father, Scott, is up to. So, Ariel does the Cable scenes, and Michel does the present day scenes. And of course Duane Swierczynski writes the story. Anyways, Scott has put a lot of plans in place since this whole Mutant Messiah thing wrapped up. We see a lot of what he's been up to this issue, but really . . I think it's only the tip of the ice-burg. Scott is nothing if not a master strategist. However, although at the time he felt he was 'right' in the decisions he made . . he's starting to have second thoughts and doubts. It's been six weeks now . . since Cable jumped in to the time stream . . and they haven't heard a word. Scott's dreaming about Bishop attacking him, but, since Cable jumped forward in time, he's temporarily given Bishop the slip. Of course that's not to say he doesn't have other things to worry about in the future. I've really liked the path of this book so far. I would just like to see Cable stop long enough to formulate and put a plan in place. He can't just 'wing-it' until this kid is 16 or 18. Can he? Keep it comin', because I'm diggin' it.
