Summary

Still reeling from the events of X OF SWORDS， Cable turns back to the matter of missing mutant babies…a matter that he knows a thing or two about。 But when his investigations lead him to a very familiar face， he’ll need all the luck he can get — from Domino！ She’s been a steadfast ally to the older Cable for years， but how will she react when meeting his younger past self for the first time？ As the paradoxes of time travel stack up， Nathan’s future is coming back to haunt him…and he isn’t ready。 Yet。 But as young Cable inches towards the startling secret of a lost child， an inevitable reckoning draws ever closer。 Some summers seem like they will never end。 And some end too soon…

Cable returns from the tournament of swords with a big ol' sword on his back， and a mission to complete before his title comes to an end。This book unfortunately falls under the 'too little， too late' category。 It wasted half its run on X Of Swords prelude stuff， so we get the actual plot in this volume instead。 Cable tries to deal with his past and his future all at once with the reintroduction of Old Man Cable （Classic Cable？ Diet Cable？） and Stryfe， and while it's a fun conclusion that manages Cable returns from the tournament of swords with a big ol' sword on his back， and a mission to complete before his title comes to an end。This book unfortunately falls under the 'too little， too late' category。 It wasted half its run on X Of Swords prelude stuff， so we get the actual plot in this volume instead。 Cable tries to deal with his past and his future all at once with the reintroduction of Old Man Cable （Classic Cable？ Diet Cable？） and Stryfe， and while it's a fun conclusion that manages to have its cake and eat it too without killing people off for the sake of it like Kid Cable's original introduction， by the time we get to the point where everything's mildly compelling again， the book ends。At least it looks nice。 I'm always baffled by how someone as good of an artist as Phil Noto can do so many consecutive issues in this world of crazy shipping schedules without sacrificing quality， and yet here he comes again to shut me up。Cable's latest ongoing spends too long spinning its wheels and then barrels head first into its final few issues where all the good stuff happens。 It looks good doing it， but that's not really enough to save it。 。。。more

This is a story of family， a complicated family， a story of young love， of returns and farewells， most of all， this is the story of Kid Cable， and it ends splendidly。 I'm sad to see this title go， it was one of my favorite runs in the Dawn of X， and my favorite Phil Noto work so far， at least there's a one-shot coming up next。 This is a story of family， a complicated family， a story of young love， of returns and farewells， most of all， this is the story of Kid Cable， and it ends splendidly。 I'm sad to see this title go， it was one of my favorite runs in the Dawn of X， and my favorite Phil Noto work so far， at least there's a one-shot coming up next。 。。。more

A baffling title。 Writers never had a clear idea of what they wanted to do with "Kid Cable，" and they couldn't even decide what personality to give him。 The classic older Cable of the 90s was eminently competent。 This guy？ Writers couldn't decide if they wanted to try to make him "funny" by making him a sporadic idiot。This volume attempts to have a nice nod to continuity with the magical ritual from Inferno （back in the late 80s） that required the sacrifice of mutant babies。 Of course， the ritua A baffling title。 Writers never had a clear idea of what they wanted to do with "Kid Cable，" and they couldn't even decide what personality to give him。 The classic older Cable of the 90s was eminently competent。 This guy？ Writers couldn't decide if they wanted to try to make him "funny" by making him a sporadic idiot。This volume attempts to have a nice nod to continuity with the magical ritual from Inferno （back in the late 80s） that required the sacrifice of mutant babies。 Of course， the ritual made a whole lot less sense without any demons or magic-users involved。 Stryfe appears as the villain and he attempts to do the ritual， even though N'astir and S'ym aren't around to tell him what to do。 When the Goblin Queen did all this， she was corrupted by demonic magic and became more of a magic-styled villain than anything else。 The writers didn't seem to know too much about Cable and Stryfe's history。 It was like someone read the highlights of their Wikipedia pages， and then got details wrong。Cable makes the odd statement of， "We don't know why Apocalypse cloned me。" Sure we do。 The baby Nathaniel Christopher Summers was sent to the future infected with the techno-organic virus， so Apocalypse cloned the infant so that he would have a backup。 It was ultimately his plan that he would take over the Summers child's body after he had used up his own， and a child born from the combination of Summers and Grey DNA was supposed to be godlike。But， today's Marvel writers don't want those years of talking about combining Summers and Grey DNA to matter anymore。 Marvel editorial is now bending over backwards to make Rachel and Cable characters of no particular importance。 If writers want a character to be Phoenix， they're always going to choose Jean， or else the novelty of some unrelated character for a few issues。 It's never going to be Rachel ever again， apparently。 Writers didn't know what to make of Stryfe's personality either。 So in one scene he makes a comedic aside， as if he were Deadpool。 Because sure， this overwrought clone mastermind character with an elaborate metal headdress has always been so comedic up until this point。 *Eyeroll*（view spoiler）[By the end， Cable and Stryfe's history is warped and retconned to look something more like an episode of Rick and Morty。 Suddenly， we are hearing about Cable and Stryfe killing each other repeatedly， and their consciousness is always saved through some heretofore unknown clone farm。 The writers rushed a scenario of two identical characters killing each other repeatedly across the time clone over the course of a few small panels。What the Hell？ Where does this supposed clone farm come from？ Who does all the actual lab work for Stryfe？ If Cable has known about Stryfe his whole life， why was there a big dramatic reveal about Stryfe's real identity back in X-ecutioner's Song？ How are they both time traveling so much？I'm just grateful to have the original Cable back by the end of this run， and we can lay this "Kid Cable" nonsense to rest。 （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I’m still formulating my thoughts， but I’m inclined to be more critical than positive。 There’s a lot to love in this Cable run， but also a lot that feels unsatisfactory or undercooked。 A core problem is how much time we spend with Stryfe， who isn’t a real character here， so his fate feels like a foregone conclusion。 especially so when the characters don’t even deliberate over the fact of killing him， which feels like it raises a host of messy science-fiction-y ethical questions。 There’s just a f I’m still formulating my thoughts， but I’m inclined to be more critical than positive。 There’s a lot to love in this Cable run， but also a lot that feels unsatisfactory or undercooked。 A core problem is how much time we spend with Stryfe， who isn’t a real character here， so his fate feels like a foregone conclusion。 especially so when the characters don’t even deliberate over the fact of killing him， which feels like it raises a host of messy science-fiction-y ethical questions。 There’s just a feeling of narrative messiness that runs through the whole affair （though Noto draws the bulk of it beautifully）。 Duggan used to be in a stable of my favorite superhero writers， but over the past few years he seems to have lost （in fits and starts） the sense for grappling with emotional truths that he displayed in his runs on books like Deadpool or even early Marauders。 I should qualify—some of my bitterness comes from being a Summers family die-hard， and so I’m a bit irked about how Rachel is largely shafted in this run， although she gets a few good lines here and there。 Like I mentioned above， there’s still a lot to love about Duggan and Noto’s Cable， and I think I might revisit the run in full later on and reevaluate it。 This series helped me appreciate this version of Nathan， and I’m truly sad to see him leave （for some value of that term， anyway）。 。。。more
