Marvel's tech-powered time-traveling X-Man Cable finds himself in his most harrowing challenge yet!
He’s been a soldier. An X-Man. A protector of the timestream. But even from his earliest days, the mutant known as Cable has been living on borrowed time, waging a lonely war against the ravages of the Techno-Organic virus. Yet when a high-stakes mission in the future goes catastrophically awry, Cable is left stranded in the dystopian city of Salvation Bay — and caught in the midst of a civil war that will change his life forever! Because Cable is no longer alone: He’s fighting to protect an entire city infected with the same disease as him. And as he battles side by side with Resistance leader Avery Ryder, Cable’s new cause will become personal in ways not even he could expect. With their own mortality staring them in the face, can these star-crossed soldiers survive against the mutated horrors of the Prime Conclave?
I was expecting more from this book. Cable always seems to look cool on the covers a grizzled old warrior, with a metal arm and big futuristic guns. Unfortunately, the story does not deliver for me.
This is a standard timeloop story. Anyone who has read any of these will have seen the way the story was going to go. It was the Timeslide story that moved this up from a 2.5 to 3 stars for me.
To save millions Cable must jump into an unknown future, but he is hunted by an unknown enemy. However, he might also find someone worth fighting for, and how far will he go to fight for her? Not too much of a spoiler it is called Love and Chrome.
The Timeslide series sees Cable and Bishop team up, but it is really a preview of things to come in Marvel. Quite nicely done though. The book finishes with a variant cover gallery.
In the time after I quite reading comics and before I started reading them again Cable became a thing and I was never all that fond of the gruff exterior, the huge guns, the old man strength. He mostly didn't do anything for me until I read Gerry Duggan's Cable series. Those twelve issues really humanized Cable for me and Love and Chrome gave me a similar vibe. I was kind of dreading reading this through the first issue but really fell for it and for Cable as a lonely, tragic figure as this series plays out.
art and colours are fine. story was okay. cable Is sent to the future abd is being hunted by CICADA. Meets a new love. calls him cowboy. turns out cable is responsible for the techno organic virus in this future causing the love to become Cicada which was a good twist but became obvious as the series went on.
This is classic 90's Cable time travel bulls#*t...
Not much to say besides all time travel stories loop back on themselves. Nice to give Cable a love interest. Nice to use time travel to make this story meaningless in the overall Cable timeline. === Bonus: Take a drink every time 'Cowboy' is spoken...
La idea de meter a Cable en una romcom, quizá no sea algo "imposible" de conseguir que funcione, pero lo pusieron de la forma más aburrida de leer posible
