Witness the massacre that makes Cable and X-Force criminals.
Salvador Larroca is right at home with this book, at least. The blend of weird tech, frequent gunplay, and grotesque monsters plays to his storytelling strengths. Additionally , Frank D'Armata's surreal colors seem to be a better fit for this series than they were on Invincible Iron Man. The costume designs in this series leave something to be desired, but in general Larroca does a great job of matching the tone of Hopeless' script and establishing this seedy little corner of the X-Men universe.

Cable and X-Force #4 manages to maintain an audience for two reasons: the cast of characters and the hope that the future visions will play out to the readers advantage. Many of the problems with the previous three issues were fixed by putting in more fighting and less talking, but the story isn't going anywhere that readers haven't already predicted due to the future visions from #1 and #2. If #5 fails on the same fronts I fear that many will get bored, or keep hanging on just because of the Cable, Colossus, Domino, Forge and Dr. Nemesis. I don't see Marvel letting an X-Force title fail at this point, so most loyal readers will probably hold out hope. For those of you who aren't reading it yet you might want to wait for reviews of the next few issues and consider picking up the first TPB if the story picks up. Read Full Review
