Sep 28, 2017The first storyline in this revival series simply sputters out at the end without a satisfying turn or even a tale that needed to be told. I really want to like this book, but it is very unnecessary at this point. Great art can only carry it so far. Read Full Review

I have the last few issues of "Cable" in various piles around my house, and rather than hunt them down, I just read #5 on its own. It was mild fun. The art seems like a throwback to generic Marvel art of the 80s...not good, not bad, but solid. While I enjoyed a few moments (Cable enlists the support of dinosaurs!), I can't help but think a series featuring Cable should be more bad-assed.

Cable defeats Conquest with the trick that was painfully telegraphed in issue #3 and James Robinson does woefully little to embellish the script around it. Yildiray Cinar does considerably more on the visual front, squeezing as much fun as possible out of a "history's greatest mooks vs. dinosaurs" premise. Great as the art is, it can't equip this issue (or this arc) with the slightest bit of memorability or re-read value. It does nothing to transform or illuminate Cable as a character; the shallowness of this story and the way it's presented is fundamentally juvenile.
