Cable #15 (Messiah War Chapter 6) – Review

Posted on June 17, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Duane Swierczynski (Writer) and Ariel Olivetti (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: At best, the Messiah War crossover has been disappointing. At worst, it’s been a complete waste of time and money. I wonder if the final chapters can make a difference? The Story: Deadpool, X-23, Vanisher, and Domino find the source of the [...]

Cable #14 (Messiah War Chapter 4) – Review

Posted on May 6, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Duane Swierczynski (Writer) and Ariel Olivetti (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve pretty much given up on any hope that Messiah War is going to end up being a truly worthy follow-up to the fantastic Messiah Complex event. While the crossover has been entertaining enough, it lacks the sense of urgency and intensity [...]

Cable #13 (Messiah War Chapter 2) – Review

Posted on April 1, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Duane Swierczynski (Writer) and Ariel Olivetti (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Messiah War got off to a solid start last week despite the fact that half of chapter one was spent on recapping the past. Now, with the pieces in place and the main players introduced into the event, I look forward to [...]

Cable #7 – Review

Posted on October 1, 2008 by andrewcmurphy

By Duane Swierczynski (Writer) and Ariel Olivetti (Artist) Let’s talk about padding. That’s right, padding. You know, when you stretch things out with lots of stuff that doesn’t really have any substance? Let’s fiiiiiiiiiilllll things in with a little padding. Padding. Cable #7 is full of it. Padding, that is. I know that comics no [...]

Cable #6 – Review

Posted on August 9, 2008 by Steven Bari

Duane Swierczynski (Writer), Ariel Olivetti (Artist- Cable Scenes), Michael Lacombe (Artist-Cyclops Scenes), & Val Staples (Colorist-Cyclops Scenes) For fans of the X-Men, Cable # 6 is a must read. Finally, after five issues of drawn out plot, we get an issue that not only gives us some development, but context and character beats as well. [...]

Cable #5 – Review

Posted on July 4, 2008 by pozzyfreak

By Duane Swierczynski (Writer) and Ariel Olivetti (Artist) Last month I gave this series some credit for finally feeling as though things were moving forward (after months of going absolutely nowhere). Issue #4 was a much needed step in the right direction and, as a result, I found myself actually looking forward to the conclusion [...]

Cable #4 – Review

Posted on June 5, 2008 by pozzyfreak

Duane Swierczynski (writer) and Ariel Olivetti (artist) Last month I gave Cable another chance to impress me after it finally showed some plot advancement. While not fixing all the issues I have with this series, Cable #4 proves that steady improvement can go a long way in patching up a sinking ship. In other words, [...]

Cable #3 – Review

Posted on May 10, 2008 by pozzyfreak

Duane Swierczynski (Writer) and Ariel Olivetti (Artist) I generally try to give new comics three issues to prove their worth to me or, if it’s been a long running series, I will grant a full arc. Cable has been a little bit of both for me in a way, seeing as how it’s supposed to [...]

Cable #1 – Review

Posted on March 9, 2008 by Deamentia

By Duane Swierczynski (writer), Ariel Olivetti (art) Cable #1 may very well be the worst comic you’ll read of 2008. To the creative team of this book: Look at it this way, it probably can’t get any worse than this (right?). There’ve been a few books I’ve read this year that really suck. We’ve got [...]
