Cable #14
"X-FORCE/CABLE: MESSIAH WAR," PART 4
The sequel to 2007’s MESSIAH COMPLEX continues here! "Messiah War," the much-anticipated sequel to "Messiah
CompleX," continues here! For the first time, Cable's been separated from the girl he's sworn to raise and protect - Hope, the so-called "Mutant Messiah" - and now she's in the hands of his greatest enemy! Meanwhile, X-Force, sent by Cyclops on a desperate rescue mission to the deep future, scrambles to find their way out of a trap that will kill them in matter of hours. And if that's not enough, an old - some might say ancient - enemy of the X-Men has reared his ugly head one last time...

Loving this story. Loving Olivetti's art.

I like how the X-Force team in particular have been able to make "big and stupid" carryover ideas from the '90s seem fun and almost interesting. From what I hear, the Cable team hasn't been quite as successful at that, though. I'm sitting this crossover out, but I might pick it up later if I hear that it ends well.

I haven't read much X-men stuff lately. However, after I picked up the Messiah Complex HC. I've been reading Cable and X-Force ever since. I'm not a big fan of Olivetti's art but if you've been reading the Bishop mini then this isn't that bad.

After the last issue of X-Farce, I mean X-Force, I was close to dropping this whole Messiah War thing. But this brought it all back and made me invested again. And yes Wolverines claws are too big on the cover.

I like the story so far, but Olivetti's artwork is killing me
