Duggan's teased storyline and space warriors shifts the mutant focus from humankind to something on a much grander scale. That grand scale and luxurious artwork makes Cable #1a perfect jumping on point for casual X-men fans and an essential pickup for readers keeping up with the inhabitants of Krakoa. Read Full Review

This is definitely Cable like we have never seen him before. Up to this point I didn't think twice about this younger version of him, and yet this first issue breathes new life into what we were only seeing on the surface. Cable #1 is easy to get into, offers a new perspective on Krakoa, and provides excellent set-up for big developments coming for this island. Read Full Review

Gotta give a big shout out to Gerry Duggan with that sword move. Not only does it help round out who Cable is, but it sets the stage for a wild, time romp, robotic showdown. Cable #1 is a book everyone should be checking out, even if you feel like you've hit your “Dawn of X” threshold. It's that good. Read Full Review

Fun, brimming with innovation and personality, this new series for the time-displaced Cable dares to go places unheard of before. Read Full Review

If you are looking for a new Cable adventure, Duggan is ready to take us on several and it's just the first issue. Read Full Review

CABLE #1 was entertaining and filled with Duggan's subtlety dry humor. Once again, Gerry Duggan creates a story that's easy to interpret, manageable for a new reader to jump in and follow, and straightforward even though some of the character voices appeared off at times and old characters are reimagined.

Cable #1 doesn't break the wheel, but it shows us a side of the X-Men that has otherwise gone untold in this new era. Read Full Review

Overall this book is an over the top adventure that is such a fun read. It’s more on the comedic side and fully welcome it. The art alone makes this book shine, and I can’t wait for more! Read Full Review

All I have to say is slick move for the franchise for fans that have been wanting more Cable, and the other fans who have been wondering what's been going on with the promised ROM movie. The last word we have heard is that the Ready Player One writer Zak Penn will adapt ROM: Spaceknight for Paramount. Read Full Review

Written by Marauders scribe Gerry Duggan, the tone he seems to have settled on here is "Saturday morning cartoon" meets Saved by the Bell, and it's surprisingly perfect? Straight away on page one, I almost expected him to say something along the lines of "So you're probably wondering how I got into this predicament," or, "I'm Cable, and my life is pretty crazy!"

CABLE #1 hits a home run on some pages and on others might need some batting practice. If you are a fan of young Cable, this is a must-read, whereas a general X-Men fan might wait for the second to see if there is a better hook for the readers. Read Full Review

Cable #1 ends, like all good first issues, with a realcliffhanger of a final page that promises to change everything for itstitular character. Without revealing too much, it's a head-turning yetnot unexpected development that is portrayed pretty perfectly by Dugganand Noto. The Cable series is off to a good start and, assumingthe story picks up on the promise laid out here, could quickly shoot itsway up the ranks of the Dawn of X titles. Read Full Review

For those looking for the kind of classic Cable comic from your youth, you might be disappointed with this new series - but for fans of some other ‘90s-era staples, you might find yourself pleasantly surprised. Young Nathan Summers feels almost like a blank slate in this bold new era, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing - while this comic won’t set the world on fire, it’s a fun and entertaining diversion that winds up working far better than you might expect.

Cable is fearless and I think every brave leader needs a little bit of fear to make him cautious. I hope to see him fail so he can overcome the obstacle and learn the important lesson. Read Full Review

This first installment of Cable has an intriguing cliffhanger, but just doesn't do enough to allow the title to stand out. Read Full Review

Prelude:
Wow, reviews are really split on this one. Time to give good ole Cable a shot.

The Good:
OG Cable is back!!!

Looks like we're prepping for X of Swords.

I like Cable in this.

The Quarry is an interesting side of Mutant Society.

The Bad:
Not sure on Noto's art just yet.

Conclusion:
Great first issue that leaves me wanting more, the only problem so far is the art which I'm not sold on yet.

Losts of fun !

This is a fun start to Kid Cable's solo book. I like Cable well enough but he's never been one of my favorite mutants. However, Duggan's writing for the character is fun and something different for Nathan. I'm definitely on board for this series.

A nice splashy start that kicks off two promising plotlines. But the characterization is a lot less impressive and the art, though talented, doesn't seem like a good fit with the writing. Based on the model of Marauders I fully expect this to be another of DoX's "good but not as great as it could be" titles.

A fun comic book. Phil Notos´s artwork is great.I'm quite interested to see where the story leads, it seems to be related to the "X of Swords" and let´s see whats happen with the "original" Cable. For tastes the colors, I think that some criticisms are somewhat unfair with this comic.

Before posting this review I broke one of my own rules and watched videos covering Cable #1. The reviews were down on the issue. While I do have some concerns with the book I don't think the title is anywhere near as bad as it was made out to be.

My first introduction to young Cable was during Dawn of X. He's a goofy character but I've found him to be endearing. Cable's personality is slightly off. He's also kinda dumb and comes off as a less abrasive version of Kid Omega.

Cable's personality along with the action-oriented nature of the issue won we over by the end. I can see myself sticking with the series at least through the first arc.

The book opens with a straight-up fight between Cable and Wolverine. Cable ends up winning the fight with little effort which was great because logic alone would dictate that Wolverine would have a really hard time against a telepath/telekinetic. It's good to see the decision's made based on logic and not the popularity of the characters.



The rest of the book follows Cable and his crew (Pixie - Armor) as they search for the missing mutant Fauna. During the search, they get into a massive fight with a giant monster. Ya Boi said that the comic felt like a children's book and it's during this segment of the comic that I agreed with him.

I don't have an issue with the book skewing younger. This incarnation of Cable is a kid. It makes sense that the character would have totally different interests than readers are expecting.

I'm a huge fan of Phil Noto's art but have never seen him do interiors. The comic looks great and he does a great job in conveying energy and the action throughout the book. It's definitely a different take on the characters but It works for the story being told. I think overall this is a great Young Adult interpretation of Cable. I also believe that this is a great 1st issue for new readers.

The only hangup I have with the book is that the comic should have been cheaper. The target audience of this book may be priced out. If the book was 1.99 or even 2.99 I think it would have been a great value proposition. I can totally see kids gravitating toward this series and characters.

The missed opportunities have nothing to do with the creative team or direction. It's just an indictment on the comic book industry that the hobby is only accessible to adults with disposable income and not the young men and women that the books are clearly aimed at.

Ah, c'mon! This is fun!

Art 4/5
Story 4/5

Fun at times and a bit dull at times but does enough to keep me interested. Noto's art is wonderful and the difference here. Without Noto I will not read this book. PERIOD.

I'm surprised by the reactions to this issue. To me, it's got competent writing, great art and an intriguing hook with the Spaceknights. To me, this is already more interesting than 90% of the Cable books I've read, and I've read a lot of them. I don't see the issue here.

Hand up, I have no strong bond with Cable so "Kid Cable" doesn't really matter to me. I like Armor so anything with her is welcome. So this was fine

A nice addition to dawn of x. nothing groundbreaking, but it's still the fun i've come to expect from all these X-titles (except Fallen Angels). The dialogue is fun and witty, and I like how everyone's written. The art is the standout, Phil Noto on an ongoing? You got me for that alone. I'm interested in where Duggan's gonna go with older Cable showing up

Phil Noto continues to amaze me with his art. The colours are fantastic. While the plot isn't that interesting, I like the take on Armor.

This was quite light and sort of interesting, I’m not super into it but I’m also not out of it.

Of course the Art is good but Duggan does some serious damage to this title with his bad jokes, some that didnt even make sense and a forced teenage dialogue that makes this book feel corny when it doesnt need to. Cable is one of my favorite characters so its a damn shame Duggan is on writing duties. Ending left me with a little hope..Art was really the only saving grace and a sword is always badass even if it comes out of the foot of a stupid generic monster.

"I've always wanted a big @#$& sword!"

I was somewhat expecting something better.

The story is lacking something, some sort of spark, although the ending is intriguing. It may pick up in the future, but Gerry Duggan took his time in Marauders and I don't think I will be waiting for nine issues for Cable to do the same.

Partially because I think I'm not a fan of the young Cable and partially because I'm not a fan of the art in this issue.

Still, it's no Fallen Angels.

Book is fun, but the characters are generic and humor is also generic AF. It reads like a kids comic

What kind of bullshit is this? Predictable, boring, the art is mediocre and young Cable is annoying.

Its basically my little xmen friendship is magic the art while not to everyones taste is good but the story or lack therof is utter garbage this is awful

I can't believe I paid for this.

Baby Cable is a really lame character and Duggan writing do not anything for me.

One if the worst pieces of trash ever written.
