Another year, another Cable relaunch, so many of these X-books just never live up to their original runs, because they are never given enough time before they are cancelled or 'restarted' with another Number One issue! This Cable run has three arcs/volumes with three creative teams, which tells you how much Marvel actually cared about this series and its legacy. Surprisingly James Robinson's volume (this one) is the weakest, as Cable tracks an unnamed villain across time.... deja vu anyone? 5 ou...

Thought I’d delve into the world of Cable as he is in the upcoming Deadpool movie. But I wasn’t wow’d or that interested.A below average introduction to Cable, with a more than predictable plot, I just wished it had of been a lot more “edgier” forgive the generic phrase. Cable is such a badass superhero and I feel with the story-line it could’ve been far more Interesting and unique. The dialogue coming from Cable was also very impersonal, it didn’t really create a memorable character, which I fe...

I really wanted to like this a lot more, but the story is so barely developed, and there is absolutely no character development whatsoever. I feel like I missed something vital prior to reading this. The villain is just a one-dimensional Kang the Conquerer knockoff actually called Conquest. Seriously, did I miss something?Art was fun, at least.

Speak softly and say almost next to nothing.This is really thin storytelling with just a lot of action.I may have read this in less than 25 minutes.

I’ve always found Cable to be an interesting concept for a character. Certainly, back in the 1990s, part of his coolness was his mysterious origins and the other part was the Rob Liefeld art. (Yeah, I’m a Liefeld fan, though I can admit the problems with his art.). Can’t say I’ve been a dedicated follower of the character, but I thought the idea of Cable as a time traveling hero stopping people from screwing with the timeline sounded okay plus it had Carlos Pacheco art.Story starts out okay with...

Cable tracks a nameless villain across time. The villain gives old-timey people futuristic weapons to fight Cable in his wake, Lather, rinse, repeat each issue. The bad guy, Conquest, who might as well be Kang, is chasing some macguffin called the time sword. It's all very mindless. There's no characterization or story. You'd never know this was the same writer of the fantastic Starman. It feels like fan fiction. Now if they had done a variation of this with Kang and Cable chasing each other in

A quick and dirty time-traveling Cable story. There wasn’t much here beyond action and time travel, though. Also, the Yucatan coast is not in South America, guys. Like, look at a map please.

I would probably give this 3.5 stars but I can't round it up to a four. I think this is an enjoyable story if you like Cable and time travel stories but there is nothing here that is going to blow your mind or that reinvents the wheel. With that said, I found this simple and straightforward story fun to read. It goes by quick but has a lot of action and the art is beautiful. Traveling across different time settings leads to some great looking art unsurprisingly. The level of detail in the panels...

A deeply disappointing new volume of Cable.Robinson gets one thing right: he presents Cable as a time-traveling hero journeying through the ages. It's a great take on Cable that hasn't been used much.But his actual plot? It's horrible. There's some baddie named Conquest, and by the end of the volume we literally know nothing about him. And he's journeying across time gathering the pieces of the MacGuffin. He mostly stays ahead of Cable and so for the early issues Cable goes to a MacGuffin site,

this book was repetitive. and dull

Bah.

Cable through time Robinson has Cable shifting through eras and the time stream, and it's a very fast-paced comic. It feels very tangential to the current X books, but it's a fun take on what can be a convoluted title.

3.5 Stars.Surprise... Cable is time travelling again... LOLThis time, he's tracking a villain named Conquest, who is messing up time in two ways: 1) Giving futuristic weapons to societies who aren't advanced yet, and 2) he's collecting pieces to a mystical weapon called the Time Sword, which allows the user to remake portions of time however they see fit. Jumping and fighting first through the Old West, then Feudal Japan, Cable tracks Conquest to the Mayans. There he meets Kagan, a priest who ha...

This book checked all the boxes for a new Cable series from my point of view. Lots of action, time travel, multiple timelines, a cool villain, stunning art and a fast paced story that delivers without being too convoluted, sure, its not a masterpiece, but it was never meant to be, just a perfectly fun quick read.

This really is 3.5 stars for me but since I feel it's closer to four than three I rounded up. To borrow from Hammerstein, how do you solve a problem like Cable? Marvel has been attempting to answer this question since the early '90s, sometimes successfully and sometimes not. Here, writer James Robinson wipes the slate clean and establishes a new status quo for our favorite time-travelling mutant.Cable, having moved beyond his obsessions with Apocalypse and Stryfe, is now essentially a self-appoi...

Cable is a guilty pleasure character of mine. I've always enjoyed Cable and X-Force books, and the old dude with giant guns has always been a favorite since childhood. His books are rarely good, and he rarely gets any meaningful development, but nothing quite scratches that itch I get the same. This volume is a big stupid time travel story, where a new no-name villain is seeking something called the "time-sword". Cable says very little across the book, and motivations are about as bare-bones as

Continuing the great x-read of 2017/18...As someone who absolutely loves Cable (when he is written well - like Messiah War and the Cable and Deadpool series...), I was so looking forward to this book. Cable has been criminally underused in my opinion and I thought that a new Cable series could be exactly what was missing in the X-books. About halfway through this "story" though, I stopped and literally said out loud "What the hell is this?"Oh, man. So there really isn't a story here. And that is...

This was quite a fun read!Its pretty much Cable tracking down a villain named Conquest who aims to gather Time sword which has been fragmented into five parts and is spread throughout history and we follow the character as he travels to Japan and fights the Ninjas and Shogunate warriors there, then to Mayan culture and I love the reference to alien high tech being part of that period and all and then finally coming face to face with this new enemy and the fight and a little bit of origin of the

The art was nice. The plot, basically non-existent.Filling this gap in X-Men history is becoming quite painful.

So Cable fights a new and ultimately pointless bad guy in this book. Nothing of any import to the future of Cable seems to happen. However, this is an absolute blast.Imagine that Robinson gave a 10 year old kid a Cable toy and told the kid to do whatever he wanted. Cable fights cowboys, ninjas, mayans, other anachronistic action figures and all those people get light sabers and halfway through the kid finds his dinosaurs and they jump in. Robinson chronicles all this play and gives it to you in
