THE CHILD OF SUMMER!
As Cable and company draw closer to the secret of the missing child, a reckoning draws ever closer.
Rated T+
Cable #10 is a great example of how less is more. Less telling and more showing -- especially with character emotions through facial expressions -- but also fewer panels to move the story along. There's a raucous bar fight, intimate moments between characters, and a deadly encounter that serves as a good cliffhanger. Cable is all about boutique comics storytelling -- efficient and impactful, but never loud or overly done. Read Full Review
Duggan and Noto more than succeed in making a case for Teen Cables existence right as his place on Krakoa is threatened, raising the emotional stakes in time for the finale. Read Full Review
If I was to guess, I think Duggan has found a clever way to keep both versions, which is spectacular. Why? Because throughout this series Duggan has done the impossible – taken what many X-MEN fans deemed as a disappointment and turned it into solid gold. I sincerely hope Im right and readers get both versions. It would be awesome to have both versions on two different ongoing teams. Now, will that happen? I can only theorize. However, seeing Old Man CABLE with the Light of Galador brings me that hope. Read Full Review
Cable has been a surprisingly good title for Marvel. My personal feelings on young Cable were mixed, but Gerry Duggan has brought me around and made me a fan. Noto's art continues to be impressive here as well. Cable #10 is one of the best issues of the series so far. This book seems to be going out on a high note. Read Full Review
This issue specifically does a fantastic job of exploring the relationship between Cable and his father Cyclops, while introducing some interesting fighting techniques. Read Full Review
Even with some of the art and lettering lacking, Gerry Duggans writing really compensates those flaws. Read Full Review
Overall this is an adequate book. It has some fun moments like the bonding between Cyclops and Cable. This series is ending and you can unfortunately tell that it has definitely run out of steam. Read Full Review
Wow Cyclops and Cable's relationship - mutant families completely exemplify the broken family stereotypes from the Afro-diaspora that directly influenced the X-gene back in the 60's.
And the psychoanalyzing doesn't stop there. Cyclops completely shared my sentiments : "Don't bring back the old man."
The fight in between with the Arakkians was a nice little sub-plot to add on too, providing action but also insight into the rocky relationship betweeb Krakoans & Arakkians.
And the ending ... A flash forward, had me breathing a sigh of relief. Keep Kid Cable. Hell if anyone wants to tell Old Man Cable stories, do another title then.
Duggan & Noto here are underrated magic. This a duo that never misses.
Kid Cable starts talking to his elders about his Stryfe problem; neither Emma nor Scott is enthusiastic about his "Back to the Future" solution. The Scott conversation is livened up by happening during a bar-fight with some Arakkii mutants. The combination is done well -- but it's also done obviously, a bit of artifice to keep the issue from being entirely talk. I love the art; this is my favorite of Phil Noto's styles. This is a good issue, but it's still a decompressed one with a shortage of plot development.
This was a pretty good issue, but I wish more happened here. It feels like this series is spinning its wheels so much, despite ending in two issues.
I won’t lie that little golf clap appreciation of Cyclops beating that other mutant really did it for me.
It is there to usher Cable back to his place so feels almost pointless to have gone through all the mess we did years ago with baby cable. I don't know how Duggan is going to make me care for the last 2 issues. Noto is gonna Noto.
It is the first time I read the Cable comic, mmmh there are things that I did not like, I felt slow and Scott being a mediocre father. However, the story was not to be thrown away.
To be honest, I thought this issue was underwhelming. The end with old man Cable was good, but I wish there was more to the Kid Cable side of the story. Feels like there's still a lot more story to cover in just two chapters. I'd probably rate this higher if the series was continuing beyond #12; but as Kid Cable's time is nearing it's end, there should've been more plot progression.
What is wrong with Scott? Old cable is also your son.
Story is pretty dumb and boring
