Cable #24 - Marvel

We almost get a wrap-up to the story this issue. I say almost because the story has gone as far as it will in this title. But it's leads straight from here into the X-Men Second Coming story-line. So there's not really a clear ending. Basically, throughout this book, Cable keeps jumping back and forth through time trying to get closer and closer to their destination. In the end they land in 1990. It's about the same time that Bishop and he first came to this time-period. He ends up sabotaging Bishops time device and sends him into the far future. When he tries to use his device to come back . . it's booby-trapped. So . . he's stuck. For now. I'm sure it's not the last we'll see of his character. He'll find some way to come back. Even if he has to sit and wait to cross paths with himself. Cable, on the other hand, uses his resources to prepare. Since this is when he first arrived, he knows of storage places around town where they can load up on supplies, guns and ammunition. On the final panel of the book they make the jump to the present. Which is where the Second Coming story-lines picks right up from. I enjoyed this issue. We still don't know much about Hope's character, but . . that's what I'm sure the next story-line is going to be all about. This issue was done in chapters. So while Duane Swierczynski wrote the whole thing, the artists were Giancarlo Caracuzzo, Alejandro Garza and Denys Cowan. With the cover done by Marko Djurdjevic. It was an ok issue. I'm more excited to see what's going to happen next. And . . on the next issue of this series, it shows that Deadpool will be joining the story. That's always interesting.
