This was pretty fun little chase comic.
Cable jumps to a time period he finds somewhat safe and decides to get some food. Little hope attached to his chest they are trying to survive. Bishop, that crazy fucker, comes straight for the child trying to kill her. Cable is on the run throughout this whole volume, trying to get away from the crazy Bishop. However, at the end, he decides to not run anymore. This becomes a showdown!
Good: The actual internal thoughts of Bishop and Cable is pretty great. It's kind of like seeing the same story in two very different viewpoints, yet it somehow works. Cable is a fun dad-like character and he works well with hope being the baby. Bishop is also a entertaining villain.
Bad: The art is really odd at times. Sometimes looking great, sometimes the fights look terrible. I also think some of bishop dialog is awful.
Overall this is a fun little series. I wanted to read this series after Messiah Complex and I'm not too dissapointed. A fun little action romp. A 3 out of 5.

Yet another confused mess of an X-Man comic.
Terrible art too. Weird mixture of bad poseur-style CG, traditional comic art, and poorly shopped photographs sort of mangled together so none of the elements ever gelled with each other. Really ugly. I expect it was probably very quick and cheap to put together though.

Good short read. I felt like I was missing a little because I haven't kept up with the marvel universe. However, it was still a good read. It takes place right after Cable is given the only mutant baby to be born after M-Day and he jumps into the future with Bishop hot on his heals. Its strange in that the world they exist temporarily in is so meaningless, but at the same time it is a possible future for the mutants. But that just can't be, as long as Cable protects this little girl, or is it?
A perfectly fine beginning to a time travel/chase comic. We see that every major character believes they're doing things for noble reasons, thus ensuring a long term conflict.
From a plot perspective this comic is straight-forward and could be fun, but there's not much personality to the characters.
I enjoy Olivetti's art for covers, and for limited series with characters I'm unfamiliar with, but both Cable, Bishop, and the other X-Men character who appears feel static.
If you're super invested in Cable, Hope, Bishop, or just following the events out of Messiah Complex, then you should check this out. Otherwise, it's just an okay outlier title.

This was an engaging enough graphic novel, but I lack the in depth knowledge of the comic book plots before it and the more recent X-Men books and universe in general that one would need to get the full benefit of the story. I enjoyed the book, but someone more conversant than I with the overarching story environment would probably enjoy it more.
A decently fun Terminator-type beefy-cyborgs-chase-each-other-through-time-while-one-protects-a-child type of story. Cable and Bishop are cool characters and putting them against one another has potential for interesting stories. Unfortunately, none of the ideas are explored in any meaningful or interesting way and most of the plot points are lazily trotted out one after the next in a rush to get to the end. Cable being really big and the baby being small is leaned on too heavily, and Bishop’s potentially interesting motivation is ignored. Ultimately a disappointment, especially considering this is a continuation of the very well done Messiah Complex storyline.

Cable is my favorite Marvel character, I don't understand why he's so unpopular, he's a badass.
Kinda great? Cable is raising Hope in the future, pursued by Bishop. This volume takes place in the flooded ruins of New Jersey, which is a pretty good setting for some superhero fights.
