A TALE OF TWO TIMELINES!
Reeling from the events of X OF SWORDS, Cable turns back to the matter of missing mutant babies... a matter he knows a thing or two about.
Rated T+
Elevated by stunning art, Cable #7 breaks cycles of violence while adding heart and healthy communication. Seeing Cable interact with his family used to be a rare treat, but readers are eating just as well as members of the Summer House these days. Krakoa would be well-served by more glimpses into the everydayness of mutant life. Read Full Review
This is definitely the X-Book to check out if you can only pick one outside of Hickman's foray. Read Full Review
If I was to guess, I feel like Duggan's plan is to restore CABLE to his older form down the line. However, he's going to have some fun with him along the way, which flashes throughout as each issue progresses. I sincerely recommend picking this issue up and adding it to your pull list.

An already strong Reign of X story is made even better by a surprise reveal. Read Full Review
This book is a testament to the unexpected variety in approaches to storytelling that come from this brave new direction the X-franchise is headed in. Worth every penny. Read Full Review
Cable #7 is another good entry in what has been a surprisingly good series. Gerry Duggan is tapping into our innermost desires and giving us a family book that weve always wanted. Phil Noto continues to be an art master on the page; his work just keeps getting better. Cable has become one of the best books in this X-Men line. Read Full Review
Cable#7 is a more promising look at the future of the title, leaning into some self-aware writing and striking the balance of "coming of age story" and "intriguing plot." Phil Noto's pencils always hit the mark, providing beautiful visuals throughout. Read Full Review
Happy to see the loose ends returned to on this arc. Rachel and Cable made a team that I could never expect to be that good. Aside : I wonder why Hope is never at the Summer's family table ?
Only a Cable book can make floating babies look so cool.
With Stryfe in this, I wonder if Genesis will make an appearance of Cable's wife via A.O.A. ?
So many possibilities. That only teenage Cable has opened the door to - hecklers need to change their tune and be grateful : LONG LIVE THE TEEN.

As this series has mostly been, it's another solid issue of Cable, though not spectacular. Glad to see the Order of X storyline being picked up immediately after the crossover.
This was good, I wish more happened though.

Breaching the mind of the Order leader, Cable is shocked to see Stryfe, his evil clone, to be behind the mutant kidnappings. Withholding this information from his family, Cable turns to the one person h more
I enjoy this series and Duggan does just enough here to keep me coming back. Well, Noto is half the reason anyway who am I kidding?
Try as I might, I just can't bring myself to dislike young Cable... It's an interesting story with a unique family dynamic. Also, you can't really go wrong with Phil Noto.
I enjoyed the floating babies.
It's not actually *bad*, but you're never not conscious of how much better it could be. Decompression is probably the biggest, clearest problem.
Cable used to be one of my favorite characters, now he's so boring to read. Even Noto's art is not good as it used to be.
