He had no growth of charcter, young Cable was boring AF
THE BIG GUN IS BACK!
It's a new era, in a new galaxy, that's under siege from a deadly new threat...but you can still rely on one man. Cable is locked, loaded and landing on the deadliest planet in X-history - to steal the ultimate weapon...and stop the LAST ANNIHILATION!
Rated T+
Adding in a number of returning characters from the X-Mythos, this is a fantastic addition to not only the story of Cable, but this newest crossover in the world of Marvel Cosmic. Read Full Review
Al Ewing is one of the best Marvel writers out here, so this was a guaranteed read for me; however, it's great when you watch it all unfold so beautifully. Read Full Review
Cable Reloaded is a far better comic than it has any right to be thanks to a top-notch creative team who have zero qualms about leaning into '90s action hero tropes in the best ways possible. The big guy is BACK and he's rarely looked better! Read Full Review
This is the best the character of Cable (young or old) has been in a longtime --and the rest ofReloadedshould be a fun story to see unfold.Cable: Reloadedis a fun ride that acknowledges its characters' histories while delving into the ever-expanding story of Ewing's cosmic Marvel. Read Full Review
Cable is back in Cable: Reloaded #1 and the comic embraces that. You get the action, gruffness, and large epic weapons you'd expect in a Cable comic. It also lets you know where and when it fits into The Last Annihilation crossover event. The story is fine and well-paced with the fun action in the the latter half. The art from Bob Quinn and colors by Java Tartalagia makes Cable and everyone else look good in this comic. Read Full Review
Love to see a different artist try (Quinn was on Way of X), hopefully earns its own run.
"THE BIG GUN IS BACK" indeed. What's Breakworld doing in this story? Oh, Ewing's using elements from Whedon's Astonishing run and leading up to a fairly audacious resolution to the Dormammu problem. Might have too much early Cable/X-Force nostalgia for most people, based on the reviews, but the plot and its use of past continuity is solid.
I thought this was a really well done one-shot. The team and the writing felt on point. It felt like I could read a series about this team. It also felt like a major turning point in The Last Annihilation event. It's definitely worth your money.
This is a great one-shote, do yourself a favor and don't miss it!
Turns out, Rocket wasn't joking about shooting Dormammu with a really big gun. Here's how Grunkle Cable went and fetched it for him, with help from old and new pals.
Pay attention, future comics creators: THIS is how you deconstruct and reconstruct an old, problematic style and turn it into something brilliant. This is the tough-guy sci-fi mercenary comic that every 90s issue of X-Force WANTED to be.
There are limitations to "tough-guy sci-fi mercenary comic;" the style is inherently stupid and silly. That's why I'm rating this "very good," not "great." In this incarnation, there aren't any storytelling problems to drag the comic down, and I can take the stupidity and silliness shameless and pure.
This was a perfectly fun little comic, but it wasn't desperately memorable and the guest stars were more interesting and entertaining than the protagonist. I've never found Cable interesting and this didn't move the needle for me — but given the number of Liefeld references in here I assume I'm not the target audience anyway.
Every issue of Cable that I read during the Krakoa arc surprised me with how much I liked Young-Cable. If you are a fan of the 90s and meta-jokes about pouches, you'll probably enjoy this. If you liked the growth of the character over the last few years, maybe side step this one.
I like Cable but as with Ewing's Defenders, this was such a slog to get through, at some point I wanted to drop it without finishing reading it. Another miss by Ewing who sometimes just thinks he's smarter and cheekier than he actually is. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's not a Cable fan.
If you are buying this because you are a Cable fan and X-Force fan from the 90's, you will probably enjoy this comic. If you are just following the Last Annihilation story, you can skip this. I found it boring. When you are reading through a comic and start counting how many pages are left, wanting it to finish, that's not a good sign. It's the same feeling I've had when reading old 90's Cable comics the few times I've tried.
There's nothing wrong with this, it's just boring and I wanted it to connect more to Last Annihilation which, in the Guardians comic, is awesome so far!
Unless you are a Cable fan, I would not recommend this. Comics shouldn't feel boring like this.
Comic Review: Action-Packed but Dialogue-Heavy
This latest issue delivers high-octane action scenes that are sure to thrill any fan. The dynamic artwork and intense battles keep the energy high from start to finish. However, the dialogue often falls flat, dragging down the pacing with its repetitive and uninspired exchanges.
Most characters struggle to leave a lasting impression, blending into the background without much to distinguish them. Fortunately, there are exceptions. Cable stands out with his commanding presence and complex backstory, while Wiz Kid adds a refreshing and intriguing twist to the mix. Their unique traits and compelling arcs bring much-needed life to the otherwise dull cast.
