I'm sure it's not just ironic, but Cable and Hope have ended up back in New York City, 2044. Basically . . that's where this whole story started. When Cable and Hope went into the future they ended up here and Nate became involved with Sophie. He ended up helping here fight the Highway Men, or State Assembly . . whatever they were called. They were just a bunch of guys . . a gang, thieves and criminals, who were using their guns and numbers to hold dominion over the rest of the people living here. That is until Bishop showed up and, in thier fight, Nate and Sophie disappeared. Now it's 2 years later . . 16 or 17 for Nate and Hope, and Sophie feels like they've finally returned. The problem is . . if they've returned, so has Bishop. It isn't long before he gets the State Assembly to gather up arms and make a run at Nate by attacking Sophie's group. As they're driving into Central Park, their Jeep crashes and Nate feels the familiar 'ping' of a time-jump coming on. He wants to save Sophie, but he can't do both . . so he grabs Hope and they end up back in 1933. I'm enjoying this story, but . . I have to ask . . what really is the point of all of this jumping around? I mean . . if it progress' the story . . fine. But to me, it just seems to be delaying it. Eventually Hope's powers will manifest. There will be a show-down between Bishop and Nate & Hope. The questions are just . . where? . . when? . . and how long is it going to take for us to get there? And once her powers do manifest, will Nate see her as the threat that Bishop has been claiming? Maybe it's just me, but it just seems like we've been stalling for the last few issues. I've enjoyed Duane Swierczynski's story . . for the most part. But . . we just aren't getting to the point. I mean . . what was accomplished this issue? What was the point? To me . . absolutely nothing. Unless Duane is just trying to express to us the frustration that Nate is feeling in not being able to control the jumps. And the time that it's taking for him to zero in on the final destination. If that's his objective . . then he's accomplished his goal. Cause . . I'm feelin' the frustration. Anyways, Gabriel Guzman does the pencils, with Marko Djurdjevic on the cover. I think 25 issues of this is enough. Let's get past this and move Cable on to something else.
