Cable #6
Special double-sized issue featuring the Uncanny X-Men! Meanwhile, back in the present . . . In the aftermath of the "Messiah Complex" war, Cyclops took a leap of faith and allowed his son Cable to disappear into the time stream with the first new mutant birth since "M" day -- and the future of the dwindling mutant population -- tucked under his arm. Weeks later, he still waits for a sign, however small, that he made the right decision. With evidence pointing to the fact that Bishop has jumped into the timestream and is hot on Cable's trail, the X-Men's unquestioned leader is about to make one final power move to protect the fate of mutantkind – one that he might come to regret.

I've been indifferent to the first arc, and I was considering dropping it -- but Summers family angst is always good in my book, and this issue should give an indication of the future direction of the book.

They really need to start revealing some details about this kid. Who his parents are, etc. This book is in serious danger of being dropped.

I wil bet none of the details ge reveiled in this series but in Uncanny or Legacy.

i'm gonna give Duane the benefit of the doubt with this book, and i can admit that the first five issues were bad but this issue is a big step up and i'm hoping that the series picks ups steam but this time travel crap is starting to get on my nerves

It's been what, 9+ months since Messiah Complex? And this entire time, we've been strung along with a minimum of things to drag us along from issue to issue. Look, JQ & Co. may be hard up for money, but we're going to need more than crumbs... (no, scratch that, I'm being generous)... more than the scent of beef stew in the form of a red-headed child/mystery item in a box.
Step it up 'cause I'm stepping out.

My fiance bought this for me when she purchased all the books in my file and it was in there by accident.
Ugh, the art in this is awful and the story looks like it hasn't progressed one bit since the last time I read this book (issue #2). Just thumbing through it, it looks horrible. At one point Cable carries the baby by cramming her under his belt.
I'm on my way back to the store to return it and get my money back so I can buy something better.

This is it for me. If this issue sucks I'm out. This entire series has been MEH....
