I can't speak as to how serious fans of X-Men will react to Cable: Love and Chrome #1. As someone who never cared much for Cable, however, it made me care about him. That is an impressive accomplishment, and I think this series is a great introduction to who Nathan Summers is. More importantly, it is a glimpse of whom he might become. Read Full Review
Cable: Love and Chrome #1 has a feel like some of the Cable series I grew up with when the character got solo series with chromium embossed lenticular covers regularly. But, it's far more getting at an aspect of the character that often takes a backseat and presenting it in a way so many can relate to. It's a fresh take on the character, something Pepose excels at and a prime reason to check out this debut. Read Full Review
I thought this was a solid start, but not as gripping as it could have been, in my opinion. I really like the idea of Cable in this dystopian future fighting for a group of enslaved people, but it just doesn't come together as nicely as the premise sounds, unfortunately. Some of the dialogue and narration just doesn't do it for me. Plus, Henderson's art is pretty rough. I don't think it's bad, but I do think it could definitely be improved upon.
This is devicive book as there is a huge split between the fans on this. I picked it up because Pepose is going such a good job on Space Ghost, but I'm on the side of this being an average book. We have Cable going into battle against a corporation who has basically ensalved a group of people that have the same affliction that he does. It's not enough for me to want to pick up the next issue, especially with the mediocre art.

Meh.
Considering that the writing and art in superhero comics are at an all-time low, this book is probably somewhat entertaining if you’re Gen Z and not used to comics being better. Personally, I would recommend reading the Ladronn run from ages ago instead of this.
