The art utilizes a sick vertical panel that makes the action and fun-as-hell premise sing. Read Full Review
Have to say that I like it when comics do stuff like this. Just hop from one world to another in each issue. They give you enough to understand the basics of this world, but always leave you wanting more. I hope they continue with this even after Cable wraps up this story line. I don't care if Cable ever ends back in "modern" New York. Read Full Review
I was pleased with this issuebut not entirely blown away. Im hoping were moving in the right direction. This one is a definite improvement over the previous two, even if the wings on the soldiers were silly. But Conquest??? Really? Read Full Review
As presented here, Cable is just another time-traveling superhero, even if his mission is only vaguely defined at best. I really wanted more out of this title. Read Full Review
In short, as a middle chapter, this may work, but as a stand-alone comic book, the combined problems of script and storytelling make it unsatisfying. Cable #3 has some pretty great character interactions between time-traveler and Mayan priest, but just feels somehow off, and too many sequences require rereading for visual clarity or plotting reasons.

Enjoyable issue, new to Cable but this arc has got me hooked #timestuff
James Robinson says "here ya filthy animals" and offloads five overstuffed pages of exposition dump to explain the badguy ("Conquest") and his Deal. Eternals/Inhumans war, Time Sword, five MacGuffin parts, Cable's gotta catch him before he catches 'em all. Got it? Okay, back to beating up baddies through time. The Mayan setting is, well, you've seen Apocalypto, right? Like that, but squished into a comic and topped with a potentially-racist serving of "chariots of the Gods" super-tech.
