There's so little to dig into or care about overall, but the little nuggets between those two leads serve as reminders that the entire series could've been a lot stronger. Read Full Review

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.
