crookedtreehouse 's review for:

Cable, Volume 1: Messiah War by Duane Swierczynski
3.0

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.
