This cover looks pretty foreboding, but . . it's really not. The reason Hope is standing over Cable like that is because he has a heart attack after all of their time jumps. No she's not the dangerous person that Bishop claims that she will become. Not yet, anyways. Actually, this issue, the story doesn't really progress all that much. We really only find out two things. Last issue Cable took Bishop's time device out of his arm and is using it to try to get Hope back to the X-Men. She's tired of running and wants to be reunited with her extended family. She barely remembers them. Anyways, Cable seems to be having some kind of trouble with it and he can't hit his intended target, 2010. However, he is gradually homing in on it. 1614 to 2493. 1776 to 2220. 1840 to sometime in the near future. It's all these time-jumps that seems to be having a negative affect on Cable's physiology. And that's when he has the heart attack. The other thing we learn is that there appears to be some kind of back-up device with Bishop and that's why he keeps tagging along for the ride. He's not getting any more enjoyment out of it all than they are. But it's the last just that seems to open up old wounds for Hope . . or maybe Bishop. I'm thinking that this is the time when Bishop was in the internment camp and Hope is supposedly the world ending threat. Maybe next issue we'll finally figure out what it is about her that pisses of Bishop so much. So . . that was pretty much the gist of the entire issue. There wasn't really much story progress this time around. However, we do see Hope's eyes glow when she's trying to revive Cable. So . . I guess, that's something. Duane Swierczynski seems to be on a definite time-table here, but . . it's just moving so slowly. This issue just basically seemed like a fill-in issue. I don't know if it's because of the events in the rest of the X-Universe or what, but . . we just don't seem to be moving towards the finish line very fast. I'm not blaming Duane. Maybe he's doing this for character development. And, like I said, maybe it's not even his fault. I just hope next issue is a little more exciting . . and progress' the story. Gabriel Guzman does the art, with Marko Djurdjevic on the cover. Overall I liked the book. Cable is one of my favorite characters. It just seemed like we were in slow-motion. Sorry!
