Oddly, the adjective that springs to my mind after reading this is "charming." It's endearing to watch Old Cable baby-step his way toward mental health. The art remains quite retro, but again, it's in a way that I like rather than one I find annoying.
Balanced against those vague good feelings is the fact that the conclusion is blatantly, objectively contrived. The author winking at the reader about excess exposition, unlikely coincidences, deep continuity cuts, and the frankly anticlimactic resolution does not excuse any of these things.

I can say a lot about the current Fall of the House of X era that the X-books are in, and how it's being managed by editorial. I'll defend a lot of the story decisions, as I don't think the vast majority of what the line has been offering has felt off. I won't defend this book. It's not very bad, but it's also extremely pointless. If you reach hard enough, you could find parallels in its narrative with the dominion ascension games of the villains in the other titles, but nothing like that is ever capitalized on in the text so I can't say that was intentional. It's a very run of the mill Cable story that has little to nothing to do with the larger X-Men narrative. Meh.
