Zac Thompson and Lonnie Nadler give our boy Cable a proper sendoff. This is a heartfelt tale of loss and family featuring the criminally underused Hope Summers. Read Full Review

X-Men: The Exterminated #1 was much better than I expected it to be. Having Hope Summers be the driving force of the main story was a smart decision. Zac Thompson and Lonnie Nadler did a good job with the execution of how Cable's death affected Hope's interaction with Jean Grey, Bishop and Deadpool. Unfortunately there was a lot of lost potential in what this issue was intended to do, partly due to the timing of X-Men: The Exterminated #1's release. Read Full Review

X-Men: The Extermined features two separate stories. The first is a direct follow-up to the death of Cable in Extermination. Written by Lonnie Nadler and Zac Thompson, the story focuses on Hope Summers and Jean Grey and feels like both an epilogue to Extermination and a coda to the writers' recent run on the Cable ongoing series.

The comic as a whole is ok. It never feels like it really honors Cable and by the end you're left with muttering "that's it?". Nothing is vital and again this feels more like a checking of the box than anything else. There isn't some deep thought about who Cable is or his impact on X history, instead it's a very surface level experience that lacks any real emotion or depth. Read Full Review

This issue felt like an extension of the recent Cable run from these very same writers and so I think people who read that will get more out of this. This doesn't spoil Extermination at all, it just deals with how Cable's death affected his family, which is something I think was necessary. The backup feels out of place, but I guess there was nowhere else to put a story about Cable's earliest memories. I liked both stories overall, this issue was pretty good.

Man, Cable has some luxurious safe houses. I'm glad Deadpool makes an appearance, it wouldn't be a proper goodbye to Cable otherwise. I think I like the backup story surrounding Cyclops more than the main story.

Meh.

If that don't spoil the end of Extermination, that wasn't really good. I don't like hope and don't care for her grieving. Not when their is a young version of her dad, or that the old one will come back (I'm shure it's the younger version don't work, marvel will bring back the real Cable). And I want to smash her for who she talk to bishop (For one he was right. And second that not like Cable didn't try to murder the avengers once).

Cover - The variant monster version. Love it but not in link. 1/2
Writing - Not very interesting. 0/3
Arts - The only thing to save for this book. 3/3
Feeling - Very disappointed. 0/2
