Cable #10 - Marvel


This is a book where the story is constantly moving forward. Where it's going to? That's another question. But, with the time-device in his arm messed up . . Cable doesn't really have any other choice than to move forward. Oh hey! We finally have a name for the 'mutant messiah' this issue . . . Hope! It's about time. Anyways, the cockroaches have invaded New Liberty. They're claiming they're American citizens and have been sent by the government. And . . they may have. Bishop has really messed up the world out there with his various attacks on each of the continents. I guess the fusing of the insect DNA was necessary to their survival. And, now that Cable has left New Liberty, and is starting to realize just how messed up this outside world has become . . and he's beginning to put the pieces together with Bishop . . I think he's going to have to go after Bishop in order to get this all straightened out. That decision will be a lot easier for him now because . . . his wife Hope has been killed. Meanwhile, back in the present, Bishop is still fighting with the X-Men. It appears that he came to the place where the X-Men's new headquarters would be, a few months ago, and set up some booby traps to help get him out if he was captured. Scott tells Logan that should they meet up again to . . " . . do what you do best." The issue ends with Bishop at a bar, in the near future, mysteriously meeting up with someone. But we don't know who yet. While I enjoy Duane Swierczynski's stories, I think he's going to have to make Cable go on the offensive sometime soon here. He's been in defensive mode ever since this series started. So far, Bishop has been calling all of the plays. I hope that changes soon. And as always Ariel Olivetti is doing a fantastic job with the art.
