Cable and Deadpool #25 - Marvel

This issue takes us all the way back to the attack on Cooperstown Alaska when Hope was born. It turns out that since Cable and Deadpool were involved with each other at the time . . their own series Cable & Deadpool was still up and running at that time in Marvel history . . it turns out that Deadpool was a lot more involved in the events of the day than we were previously led to believe. Well . . we weren't really led to believe anything. His name was just never really brought up. Cable was one of the first to arrive at the scene, attempting to save Hope, but he was still seconds behind the Purifiers. So he was in for a battle. What we didn't know previously was that he had called in Deadpool for back-up. Deadpool aids him in his departure from Cooperstown, and then is on hand when Cable and Hope are attacked by a Predator X and then a Sentinel. Apparently they split up shortly before Cable decided that he needed to take Hope into the future to protect her. As with any Deadpool story, this one was kind of goofy and sarcastic, but . . it was funny . . and entertaining. I still think that Cable and Deadpool made a good team. It's to bad that we're so far past that now. Although I'm sure that we'll see them together at some time or another. Unfortunately though . . it won't be in this book. This issue is the finale for this series. Hence the double sized issue and the special guest-star. But don't worry. I'm sure that Cable will be playing a big part in this Second Coming story-line unfolding across the X-Universe even as we speak. I thought that Duane Swierczynski finished out this series with a bang. It's got a beautiful Simone Bianchi cover, and Paco Medina did a great job with the interiors. I'm sorry to see this series go, but . . I'm sure we'll be seeing other new X-titles popping up here in the months to come. It's just the circle of life.
