I’m pretty sure that this entire arc so far could ave been done in one issue… maybe two. I hope there is some kind of pay-off here.
This has just been a disaster of a series so far. It’s ruined one good character in Bishop. It’s ended Cable/Deadpool, one of my favorite books. The art isn’t impressive and doesnt’ fit the tone of the series. It’s just not working on any level right now.
@shogunt Word. And yet, I’m still buying it. . .
The ironic thing is that Swierczynski seems to be a really funny guy and could probably pull off a Cable book with more of a comic angle. I think they still could have spun it out of Messiah Complex and kept some of the light/absurd tone of the original series. I don’t know how this is selling but I can’t imagine it appealing much to anyone.
Umm, by ‘original’ series, I mean previous, I mean ‘Cable & Deadpool.’ Which I still think could have gone somewhere if they hadn’t ruined the original premise right after the Civil War tie-in got it more exposure. Ahh, well.
Here’s to hoping the art changes soon. The story isn’t so bad, but I am just really not into the art.
@shogunt– I actually like this guys art style quite a bit but I hear ya about not fitting the book’s tone. For that matter, what the hell is the tone of this series anyway?
i like this book so far but, it is still messiah complex with cable on the run from bishop! i have hopes that through this stoy line we will get some answers to things that still remain clear!
@sscurfew: yes, it is still Cable on the run from Bishop…. for 5 months now and nothing else has really happened. I’m still buying this for some reason, but I feel that there should have been at least a little pay off to this first arc. And no, phoenix eyes do not count (too easy to be true).
@DocHess Hahaha, yeah, I just had virtually the same conversation about the Phoenix eyes and whether they make the book worth sticking with. I think I’m going to give the next arc another issue, and see if Domino or Deadpool shows up, or something.
Don’t mean to counter everyone, but I LOVE this book. I like the character art, slightly wrench at the backgrounds and have been really enjoying the Badass/Baby dynamic. I can’t wait for this book every month. The opinions here are pretty much the same on other forums, and that is a shame because this book probably won’t last very long, but I hope it gets to develop more..
this book is hard for me because cable and bishop were my favorite chars. but bishop has become completly evil and i dont feel like the story is going anywere. someone let me know if something starts to happen. anything, i would love to pick it back up.
