So, how does Cable #1 stack up to my expectations? It doesnt. It exceeds them, giving me a comic that made me a Cable fan. I look forward to being a fan for a long time to come. Read Full Review
I could have read it, enjoyed it and then with most X-men titles, forgotten about it but that final page makes me want to return for more. Read Full Review
A great opening issue that'll have you on the edge of your seat. Read Full Review
Cable immediately establishes itself as one of the stronger additions to Marvel's ResurrXion lineup. This first issue offers a tightly paced, attractive romp as the cyborg hero hunts a mysterious enemy across time. And fortunately, the book is able to add just enough depth and complexity to its main character to balance out the light, breezy storytelling approach. Read Full Review
There's an unprecedented level of fun in Cable #1 that calls for your attention! Read Full Review
Cable #1 doesn't do a whole lot to give you a backstory for Cable, it instead assumes you have a knowledge of the character and throws you right into the action. If you're a brand new reader to Cable, you may be lost on who Cable is, but I'm a long-time Cable fan and so far I'm lost for different reasons, which is the point. I feel as though I'm traveling through time with Cable and the time jumps have me disoriented, but I'm confident that Robinson and Pacheco will clear everything up"over time of course.

Comics are better when the world of the X-Men is healthy. Over the last few years that has not been the case. They might not be all the way back but with this series, Jean Grey, and X-Men: Blue there is a lot to enjoy in the world of the X-Men. Now all Marvel needs to do is keep it going and not just reboot again in a couple months. Read Full Review
Early in the issue Cable stands at the entrance of an Old West saloon, proclaiming to the patrons that there's "no need for introductions." Regrettably, it's hard not to feel the creators took that sentiment to heart. Read Full Review
I want to give this one a higher rating. I really do. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, but I think for a premier issue"there just wasn't enough happening here. Not enough hints dropped. Not enough development. Read Full Review
With a promising future in Deadpool 2, courtesy of Josh Brolin, Cable is one of those characters whose profile is on the rise. Cable #1 puts him at the front of the batting order and shows off the potential of what he can bring to the table. With big guns, a bad attitude, and a blatant disregard for time paradoxes, he has all the tools he needs to be a major player for the X-men. At a time when Hugh Jackman has retired and Deadpool is the new adamantium standard, the timing couldn't be better. Read Full Review
Overall this book just exudes average. Hopefully in the next issue or two it will really pull us into the story and give us something to really be excited for. For now I'm just happy that this series is just monthly because if it was a twice monthly book like many of the other new X-books it really would be a let down then. I'm going to give this one a few more issues to see if it finds it's groove but as first issues go this one was just plain average. Read Full Review
Overall, everything in the story works together but it feels like a story with the pages that might inform the reader as to what is actually going on completely missing. This is not the best way to deliver a debut issue. Read Full Review
Unless you're a fan of the character, there are better X-Books and books period you should be buying. Read Full Review
Cable #1 showed some promise and fun in its first few pages, but it falls apart in the second half with confusing fight sequences and an ending that is just tiresome. Give this one a hard pass. Read Full Review
It's futuristic, time hopping and weird weapon wielding fun! I love how quickly it changes from one era to the next It's what I expect from a Cable comic. It has everything I needed. the art of Pacheco, Fonteriz and Aburtov really works well. It looks like something directly from the tv screen and that is a nice touch. I just can't wait to see who the bad guy is!
Who wouldn't like a time traveling mutant with crazy weapons and cool time pieces? Cable in this debut issue pulled me in and enjoyed each panel. Seemed to fly through it quickly but wouldn't call it short for say. Art and story seem good enough to pick up issue #2. Never been a Cable fan but could change.
Very curious to see where they go with this, but a very solid first issue.
Fun start, looking at where this is going, Cable was the best part of Uncanny Avengers so always looking to read more>
It started off well but ended up being very average. The last words I said to myself after reading the comic was "what the fuck was that?" Also worth mentioning is the penciling is well done but the color palette was awful at times. Maybe I expected too much but hopefully the next issue is good or I might drop this.
Time-sheriff Cable busts baddies armed with anachronistic sci-fi weapons in the Old West and Feudal Japan. It's a simple premise executed with journeyman skill. Carlos Pacheco's scrupulous art goes a long way toward hauling this story into entertaining readability; James Robinson's script is a strictly by-the-numbers affair. Even in his debut issue, Cable has to deal with repetitiveness; the story is the same in both time periods he visits and it feels like Mr. Robinson is missing a big opportunity to build something interesting via parallels. Instead the repetition simply serves as emphasis, suggesting the longer story might turn into a real slog.
After a pretty great run with "Scarlet Witch," and a very solid start to "Nick Fury," I was looking forward to this, but it falls pretty flat. The action didn't really move me, and there wasn't much beside that. Pacheco's pencils were okay, but not as strong as I recalled. Overall, pretty "meh."
Just ok. Fairly disappointing.
