Despite all of this, any fan of the X-franchise, and Messiah Complex in particular, should be buying this book. Marvel seems to have positioned it as the key title in whatever future the mutant race has - if it has one at all. Read Full Review

Cable has a new start, and while there is nothing really new and revolutionary about this book in terms of story, it is solid story telling getting new readers up to speed relatively quickly on the current happenings in the mutant world of Marvel. I hope the team moves the story a little faster in the next book, but overall, this is a solid start. Read Full Review

It's difficult to judge this title after just one issue. But the inner monologue and the general intrigue behind the direction of this story is enough to keep me coming back for at least a few more issues.

There's a workmanlike quality to the storytelling, with some pacing issues (not really problems, but issues), and the art is gorgeous and ridiculous all at the same time. If you're a fan of the characters involved, you might think more highly of it, but for me, it was pretty average. Not bad, just average. It has potential, and with the essential "first issue points" out of the way, the story has room to grow. I expect it will get better as it goes on. Read Full Review

I might, and I stress the might, pick #2 up next month if it happens to fall on a dead week with few books coming out and only to see if they explain why the hell Bishop is such an asshole these days and how he survived Messiah Complex. It's extremely unlikely I'll be picking up this book after this first issue and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but the most diehard Cable fan. Read Full Review
