Cable #1 is a reminder that this hero isn't just a guy with incredible powers, but also a weapon. From his determination to his skills in any fight, Cable proves why he's one of the best mutants ever created. Read Full Review
A fun story that puts both young and old Cable together to face a new threat, supported by solid artwork. If youre a fan of the character, youll want to check this out. Read Full Review
Cable #1 isn't a bad start and sort of gives a reason Cable hasn't been more aggressive in stopping horrible timelines, but overall, it's an ok read. There's some decent humor, decent action, but nothing so far that really stands out as too exciting so far. Read Full Review
Cable excels at giving Nate and Nathan enough similarities from shared experiences without making them different generation copies of one another. Getting those two right is half the battle, and this Cable series clearly made them a point of emphasis. Read Full Review
Cable #1 creates an engaging antagonist but feels out of place in the larger continuity. Read Full Review
Plot
Cable is on the trail of his young version Nathan, who was imprisoned by the Orchis Program that is protected by the Stark Sentinels, this sequence is great and exciting where Cable uses his artificial intelligence called Belle (who appears as a screen on his man , a magnificent touch of genius) and is at the top of his techno-organic and telekinetic abilities. Nathan worries Orchis will catch them again.
Cable rescues Nathan but discovers mysterious graffiti in the city that mentions the arrival of NEOCRACY, an organization that began as a pharmaceutical company but in other realities has managed to eliminate mutants by modifying DNA and thus creating a tyrannical society. Although Nathan does not see the danger of Neo more
When Marvel first announced this mini, I thought it was a bit out of left-field given where we are in the Fall of X timeline. Cable’s adventures in Children of the Vault were a fun side-quest and I wasn’t expecting there to be much more to his story. In came Fabian Nicieza to prove me wrong. While the story still feels like a side-quest to everything else going on in the Fall/Rise event, Nicieza crafts a fun, 90’s-style nostalgia continuation to Nathan/Cable’s Vault story. I loved the dynamic between Nathan & Nate Summers and Nicieza wrote some great dialogue between the two of them.
The art trio of Scot Eaton on pencils and Cam Smith with Victor Nava on inks, along with Java Tartaglia on colors, really bring the story more
