This one was dragging its feet by the end.

It's not even that the series is ever bad. It just feels like we're doing the same thing over and over again. It also doesn't help that Bishop is boring. He never gets the job done, of course, but he barely ever even comes close. He never feels like a threat. He's just kind of a shitty antagonist by the end. On top of that the story is recycled every volume.

Saying that the art is decent enough and the relationship with Cable and Hope is pretty great. The dad-daughter relationship works really well and you always feel that they truly care about each other throughout the series.

I just wish the series was better in the end but for Cable fans it is worth checking out. A great start, meh ending. A 2.5 out of 5.

It ends better than it started but this book was never great.

This collection treads water as Cable and Hope have to stay running around the future until the big crossover when they return. Unfortunately, rather than expand the cast, or add any truly interesting twists, the story gets very cyclical. It doesn't help that there is no real threat, since it was apparent from the beginning of the series that the two major characters would have to get back to the main universe at some point.

There are good bits - the end story out of order with Hope and Cable just interacting. There are bad bits - pretty much if Deadpool is around, it is a bad bit - though it's actually pretty good for a story with Deadpool. But the rest of it is just okay - which for this series unfortunately means a kind of pointless duel between Cable and Bishop. And the end isn't even an end. Sigh. And they clearly can't keep track of how to draw Hope either.
