MESSIAH WAR PART 2 Cable has travelled forward in the time stream to keep the so-called mutant messiah safe from the clutches of Lucas Bishop. In an effort to rescue to the time-travelling pair, Cyclops dispatches X-force!
If nothing else, "Messiah War" is a massive shot in the arm for Cable.

At least the issue concludes with the promise of some action next issue. When I hear the names ‘Cable’ and ‘X-Force’ used in the same sentence, images of early ‘90s comic book excess spring from my imagination.

Consider me currently disappointed, but optimistic for the future. Read Full Review
