SUMMERS END!
Some summers seem like they will never end. And some end too soon.
Rated T+
The penultimate issue of one of the best X-Books on the market today lives up to the high standards we've seen from the series to date, with Duggan and Noto continuing to knock it out of the park with the adventures of both Young and Old Cable. Read Full Review
Family is more at stake than the end of Krakoa as Cable prepares to end next issue. This book has built up charming interpersonal dynamics that assemble in this issue to excite fans reading from the first issue. While this issue spends most of its time setting up a familiar and cliched conflict with Stryfe, it still introduces elements that will impact the X-line going forward. Fans of original older Cable will no doubt be pleased and everyone who has come to love the teen version is probably a little worried. Read Full Review
How do you take 4-5 more issues and condense it down to two, sprinkled around X OF SWORDS and the HELLFIRE GALA (which Im sure took issues away from HIS story)? If my assumption is true, Im sure he did the best with the page count available. Ultimately, fans of CABLE will be pleased with this issue as they finally get the old man back, the band back together, and what appears to be an action-packed send-off! If you're a CABLE fan, you should pick this comic up and see the series through! Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God Bless! Read Full Review
Cable #11 offers us some closure and some joy as we brace ourselves for the final next issue. Gerry Duggan has been consistently good on this series, and it has been one of the more underrated books from the X-line. Phil Noto is always a joy to see on a title, and his art and colors are only getting better with time. Cable #11 is a sweet book that has big consequences ahead of it. Read Full Review
Cable#11 is one of the better issues in the series, utilizing its supporting characters for some enjoyable scenes and kicking the plot into high gear with the return of a familiar face. Read Full Review

Then, just when this issue has you all hot and heavy like stuff is about to happen, probably the height of a second act … it's over. Dry off, get dressed, go home; this book builds and builds and just stops, which is a pretty big letdown that might work better in a collected edition. There's also a bit with a space knight from Galador (and previous licensing agreements) that feels like it was supposed to be a thing but didn't pay off before the end of the issue. Not bad, but not doing what needed to be done. Read Full Review
Overall this issue is alright. It has its fun moments but it's not without its problems either. This series is ending and that's probably a good thing since its somewhat been running on fumes for a few issues now. Read Full Review
This penultimate issue is a bit quieter than I was expecting but Duggan has been consistently good at writing the Summers family and Cable #11 is no exception. I also really enjoyed Cable getting the OG X-Force back together to go up against Stryfe. Duggan's Cable series has had it's ups and downs, but this issue promises an exciting finale that I can't wait to read!
Grunkle Cable is resurrected so that he and his younger self can run a fast, funny "putting the band back together" montage before confronting Stryfe. So this is essentially the middle act of the Blues Brothers, starring the extended Summers family. The art remains tight, and I think the script makes a fair trade in ditching introspection for humor and fast plot development. Definitely a good comic, but it lacks the depth to be truly great.
Glad to see Adult Cable back. Not that I disliked Kid Cable, but I just like Adult Cable more. And Deadpool written by Duggan is always a treat.
I guess if Old Man Cable had to come back, this was the way to do it. There's a whole lot going on and there's a lot of the nonsense that comes with being Cable. I mean secret bases, battle vehicles, and over-the-top battles against Stryfe. It has that campy Action Movie cheese where it looks like people are celebrating and ready to have a good time.
Not Bad!
Anyone else think it's weird that Jean eats a peeled apple with her gloves on?
Aside from that, not the most exciting issue but the reunion was sweet.
