Cable #10 (Summary, Spoilers ....and nothing corny here.) [Archive]

Right from the start, Bishop has taken out most of the X-men, except diamond form Emma Frost who then decided to turn fleshy as to attack Bishop mentally. Bishop then starts choking her but luckily Beast comes and saves her! Ever the sophisticated being that he is, Beast proceeds to lecture Lucas while destroying Bishop's jaw with his paw-fists. Bishop then remembers he has powers and zaps Beast. However ... X-force come in to save the day (luckily everyone is knocked out so its kinda like that frog that only dances when no one is looking) Wolverine manages to gut Bishop right before he goes slightly into the past where he passes out. not to be seen again until the cliffhanger.

Cable: Cable + family [wife Hope and baby Jean Grey] get captured by the horrible insect president of the USA. Luckily baby messiah grabs a knife and stabs him. Cable makes the president tell him exactly what happened: a long time ago all the other places in the world almost simultaneously decided to self destruct. Bombs in australia, water shortage in Europa, South America was on fire (because we are caliente!), etc. the UN decided to ignore the USA's sovereignty and let the world invade (imagine that) and so the insects show the were now fighting back to take over the USA. Cable realizes that so many continents fucking up is not a coincidence and decides to go to Westchester hoping that good ol' Cyclops may have left him some helpful info. On their way they find some resistance and Cable does not react fast enough and Hope dies protecting baby Jean. Cable and the little girl bury her the next day and Cable names the girl Hope.

Back in the present, Emma tells Cyclops Bishop is heading to Westchester a couple of thousand years into the future and Cyclops tells Wolverine the next time they run into Bishop, Wolverine has to do that what he does best.

CLIFFHANGER.
Bishop meets with someone shady. I dont know who it is..we dont see him. Its probably whoever the villain is in the big crossover between X-force and Cable

REVIEW: I love Cable. I think Swierczynski is a great writer and his initial problem with pacing has been fixed. I only wish his last name were a bit easier to type.. I also have no problem with Olivetti's art. I definitely recommend this book. Go buy it and enjoy it. Go now. Go.

Vanish, do you read this book?

Just call him swierinsky, that's what I'm always reading.

the UN decided to ignore the USA's sovereignty and let the world invade (imagine that)

Can't feel too sorry for them given that in real life america already has a plan outlined to attack the rest of the world should energy reserves drain below a point where it can sustain the US. And they're the ones with the huge nuclear arsenal. Reality sometimes is more frightening than comics. :) Sorry can't find the link anymore, stumbled upon it a year or two ago but they were official documents. Of course it was just a plan but still, scary enough someone actually suggested it.

I dropped Cable and, at this point, my sole interest in this book is really X-Force's involvement. I was hoping that Nate would come back to the present and join X-Force for awhile, but now I don't really care if he does or not.

I'll probably pick up the Messiah War issues, but if Cable is still in the future after that I will drop it again.

On a more positive note, I really hope that Wolverine does get to do what he does best during Messiah War and decapitates Bishop. :biggrin:

The pacing issue is better than the first arc, but still not great. This issue, while good, is just, "Bishop gets away and Cable gets away". After ten issues, at least the baby has gotten a name, but the protagonist and antagonist seem to be dancing around each other within the timestream, and neither is gaining much on the surface.

Although, Bishop starting to corner Cable by mucking up the past is changing all that. It's a slow boil, but at least this time out, we got some good action with Bishop at the Marin Base. I guess that's the difference between the first six, and the past four.

Wondering who Bishop meets in the Westchester bar in the near future.

All the overall series thoughts aside, yeah, I did enjoy this issue. Seeing Beast and Emma get Bishop on the run was nice. Wonder what the deal with "the seventh weapon" he was supposed to steal from them was all about. Whatever it was, I don't think he managed to get it before Emma walked in.

I'll just post what I said in the other topic:

The best part of the issue was in the previews. It just followed the same routine of the previous one, with only one slight difference in the ending Bishop meets a mystery character in the end. I'm betting that it is either Sinister or Apocalypse

On a more positive note, I really hope that Wolverine does get to do what he does best during Messiah War and decapitates Bishop. :biggrin:

Seems highly unlikely, given the year he met her in.

And the fact he currently can only travel in time one way.

And she'd have remembered him as her dad, and not thought of him as a mystery outsider when he showed up in her time.

Good issue overall. I hope the shadow is Dark Beast... but wouldn't it be so cool if it was actually just an older Cable, after realizing he was wrong about what he did, decided to do his best to go back and help Bishop change the way things are occuring? Or Stryfe? Exodus? Hmm.

It's not Cable. Cable from no other time period is going to go try to hunt himself. That would be an unbelievably stupid story.

You're probably right since it said Bishop was in "the near future" and Cable would not be in the near future because he's already jumped into the far future. I just thought that perhaps it might be him (or Stryfe) since there was a Wizard article about Messiah War that said that Cable's biggest problem would "literally be himself" next year. Not sure what that means.

Any theories on who it is then? Someone who drinks beer in bars. Somehow Sinister and Apocalypse don't seem the type. Could be Wolverine, but that doesn't make much sense. Gambit, maybe? The guy seemed to be wearing a trenchcoat. Probably not, though. I suppose it could be Bishop himself when he was younger, but he's not from the near future I don't think. I think he's from like the year 2080 or sometime around then.

I honestly have no clue. :confused:

Y'know, my first thought was Wolverine too, but that didn't seem to make sense to me for a lot of reasons. I'm trying to think of who would've been "looking bad" the last time he saw Bishop (and vice versa) and I'm coming up blank. I suppose Logan makes sense for Bishop, since the last time he saw him he cut him, but Logan wasn't looking any worse for wear the last time Bishop saw him. I still kind of think it might be a younger Cable, but don't know how or why he'd be in the "near future" (or why he'd agree to hunt himself down with Bishop).

Can't wait to see Choi's finished cover to the Messiah War prologue (as well as his interiors in the issue itself)! I wonder what his Cable will look like, in terms of the details, I mean (i.e., hairy or hairless, only his arm cybernetic or his entire left side, wrinkled or not, stubble or smooth-faced, etc.). Lots of different artists draw Cable lots of different ways. More so than other characters IMO. It seems like his look can be very inconsistent depending on who is drawing him.

Yeah, but you didn't get a very good look at him. He was only in like one panel or something.

I'm just wondering what Choi's version will look like when we get a good look at him. Personally I'm partial to the Romita, Jr. version myself. And Capullo's version was pretty sweet too, as was Jim Lee's during X-Tinction Agenda. Big, mean, hairy and stubbly, and with only his left arm and chest being cybernetic (not his whole left side like Zircher and now Olivetti have drawn him). I also thought Scott Eaton's version during Messiah Complex was solid. And, of course, Bachalo's version was cool too.

Hopefully the young Cable thing was just a terrible joke of that "marvel intern" as we already have a useful Cable we dont need to lessen his importance by bringing a young one.

You know this is crazy, but no one here thinks the Cable maybe the one that was thought dead in uncanny? Deadpool brought over the alternate dimension cable as a child that somehow grew fast. So really we dont know what happened to the cable that got blown up.

There's some "Cable" art in Mike's deviant. Cable looks looks pretty good there!

Curveball out of the dark here (and I'm well aware of the continuity involved)...but could the mystery person be Trevor Fitzroy?

As a sign of how far Bishop has sunk in his war against Cable?

That would be cool, actually.

Fitzroy was all explode-y after Shard offed him in the last Bishop solo series . . . He was going by the name "Chronomancer" and it was an alternate future timeline . . . And it was kind of a lame book . . . And I don't want to see him back.

I just thought that perhaps it might be him (or Stryfe) since there was a Wizard article about Messiah War that said that Cable's biggest problem would "literally be himself" next year. Not sure what that means.
:

- that might possibly just be a reflection on his age, that he can't do what he used too!

My first thought was Sabertooth, but I have no idea why. That makes little sense. Maybe Stryfe?

I liked this issue! Especially Beast, it was GREAT to see him be a badass instead of a lab rat for a change.

Sabretooth was my first thought too, then Stryfe.

Stryfe could be cool, but isn't he dead (not that it really matters, I suppose)? Also, what happened with Stryfe in the Gambit and Bishop mini? I never read it.

No I do not.

Stryfe killed himself to kill an alien that hich a rid with bishop back to the present.

what if bishop was speaking with madrox in the bar. madrox wanted to find a way to bring layla back in messiah complex, so bishop proposes that madrox build him a small army to carry out his goals in exchange for a time jump to retrieve layla.

That is interesting. But how does Madrox travel back in time or the Madrox of that timeline know everything? :confused:

X-factor 27 - one of madrox's duplicates had direct experience in the concentration camp that bishop grew up in. layla killed the dupe with a grenade to send future knowledge of bishop, back to the past and the present day madrox. None of the X-men stopped to probe madrox on this future info, because they already figured bishop was behind the sentinel attack.

I predict the person in this issue that is feeding bishop wrong info will turn out to be stryfe posing as cable since he is returning soon.

Has there been any mention through Marvel that he IS aging in the future, or will he just come back at basically the same age.

rwsmith

If he gets too old all they have to do is put him in another techno-organic cocoon like they did awhile back and de-age him again. I think that happened in the late 90's when someone decided that Nate was looking too old.

Personally I always preferred him looking a bit older than most characters. Back when his hair was grey (instead of white) and he had some wrinkles around the eyes and as much chest and back hair as Wolverine:

I think originally that was the cover of an old New Mutants issue, but currently it's also the cover of the Cable Classic TPB which collects the 2-part "Blood and Metal" series as well as the first arc of the original Cable series.

Wasn't there another Madrox that was sent to another time-line? We've yet to see what happened with him.

According to Matt Fraction over on the Bendis boards Cable might be showing up in Uncanny at some point in the near future:

Matt:

Any plans to use Cable in Uncanny? I know he's in the future right now, but I figure he's probably coming back after Messiah War since he'll have the capability to get back to the present (with the rest of X-Force).

I expect I'll get to write him maybe a little bit, but it'll all be in service of what he's up to in his book. The road that CABLE is on is pretty amazing.

i think so , madrox in this timeline has knowledge of bishop's future , so i would assume he would understand bishops point of view. if bishop is to get his point across he is going to need some help. it would be nice to see him go home(his timeline) and recurit some x.s.e enforces to help his cause.

I wouldnt be suprised if it is forge that he meets in the bar, bishop did give him a few lumps over the dome, to get that battle arm, but that doesnt make them enemies does it?

Heh, Bishop twice sneaked into Forge's place and beat the crap out of him. It'd be quite justified if Forge carries a grudge. Weird as close those two were in TAS. :redface:
