Soldier X was a weird rebranding of Cable (with Deadpool becoming Agent X, X-Force becoming X-Statix, etc.)
It is definitely and improvement on the earlier volume and starts to fulfill on the promise of Tischman's Cable (although it's not fully realized until Cable & Deadpool).
But it starts with Cable getting into contact with his future mentor Blaquesmith, in the present day). It continues Cables "World Tour" to deescalate conflict zone wars and spread the Askani faith/philosophy. People aim to make Cable into a Messiah for the new millennium (like Lucas did with Star Wars). He'd rather help than fight and now finally has the powers of a god.
It ends somewhat abruptly; but with the timeline successfully altered. It leads directly into the "Underground" arc of Tieri's Weapon X.

This book has beautiful artwork by Igor Kordey throughout, carries the book well through the first few storylines by David Tischman that are a bit “white savior”-y, after the first book that Kordey is credited as helping with the story on happens the plotting seems to get a lot more interesting. Once Darko Macan comes on as the writer this book really gets into more deep looks into what someone with the powers to do almost anything should do with that power.
The last few issues are just some random old school Cable stories, he fights some domestic terrorists in the US and he tries to convince a mutant that they should live.
Book is worth a look if you are curious about a fresh take on a character who often feels like his stories blend together.

There were some definite problems in the writing...The biggest being that a major development in The character was just completely ignored by the end. But it was a fun and sometimes very intense read, and the art was pretty cool.
