Well, with this issue we move a little further along the time-line and a little further out into space. In the last few issues we found out that Emil had lead Bishop straight to Hope. He's the little boy that befriended her back on Earth. I think, deep down, he knew that Cable wasn't whom he said he was, but . . his desire to reunite with Hope overpowered his reason. That's what love does to boys. Right? Anyways, shortly after they arrived so to did the Brood. Even with the Brood attacking, Bishop's sole desire is to take out Hope with the atomic bomb in his arm. Anyways, long story short, Emil tries to help Hope escape. The problem is, there's only 2 pods. But Hope refuses to leave Cable behind. Cable meanwhile was swallowed by the Acanti, the giant space-faring whales that the Brood uses for traveling. Inside of it, the Acanti is trying to control Cable. While the Brood have captured and are similarly trying to control Bishop. Cable fights back and the Acanti spits him out. But he ends up face to face with the Brood and Bishop. In the ensuing battle, Cable takes out the Queen which thereby releases Bishop from her control. Cable does make it into the landing bay though so he talks Emil into launching he and Hope in the transports. Cable subjects himself to the Acanti, and Emil uses Cable's arm to blow up the ship, hoping that he'll take Cable with him. The final page is 2 years later. We see Cable and Hope still in their cyro-genic sleep, traveling through space. And not far behind them . . the Acanti. Bishop is in it's control, but . . I'm thinking without the Queen it's also following his desires. I like this book, and these characters, but I really wish we'd make some progress in this story. At least show us what it is that's driven Bishop to these extreme measures. Or show us what Hope's power really is. I think Duane Swierczynski has done a good job with this story, but . . to me, it's starting to seem like it's dragging on way to long. This is Cable's whole life now. What of his connection to the X-Men? Also, Gabriel Guzman's pencils are ok. He does some funky stuff sometimes with his framing. But I'm thinking he just needs more experience. He definitely shows potential. All in all I like this book . . I just feel like I've had enough of this story-line. Sorry!
