I really like this story-line, but . . with this issue in particular, not to much was accomplished. At the end of last issue, Stryfe took off his helmet, and Hope thinks that he is Nathan. Bishop and James have both let their guard down, so now Stryfe knows that Hope is important. He just doesn't know why. It was interesting though that when he scanned her, he found that she had no powers. Anyways, Stryfe is trying to kill Bishop and Warpath. Bishop is trying to kill Hope. And the rest of the X-Men are trying to kill Stryfe. Oh yeah, and Apocalypse wants Warren to kill him. Or maybe Warren just wants to kill him. I'm a little confused about that one. When Apocalypse sensed that Warren was near, he called out to him. But we don't really have a clear understanding as to why. We just see that he's very weak right now. Anyways, when the issue ends it looks like everyone's down except for Stryfe. The X-Men took a good shot at it, but . . Stryfe grabbed Elixir and forced him to heal him. But in the cave, Warren couldn't kill Apocalypse. As much as he hates him, there's also still mercy in there. And even in his Death form, there's still humanity present inside of Warren. However, since he's been spared, Apocalypse decides that it's time for them to go and kill Stryfe together. This issue, really, was just a big slug-fest between all the various factions of this little encounter. There were a few tidbits of information thrown out there, but they were sparse and cryptic at best. I hope in the next issue of Cable the story has a bit more momentum. Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost wrote it, and Clayton Crain does the art. I love Clayton's style, but . . there were some panels near the end of the book that look like they were thrown together rather rapidly. I think the guys gonna need a rest after he finishes this story. So, overall, I liked the book. There just wasn't a lot accomplished as far as the story goes. Bummer!
