"Cable was right!"
Great opening. Nice action scene, some recap and establishes the characters very quickly. The art has definitely grown on me, very exciting and expressive. Definitely an X-Force book.
Oh, and I'm over Cable getting killed. Long live Cable.
Agreed. The art is growing on me. Kid Cable is not. But oh well. The original will be back soon, or they’ll age him up and have him hit puberty and hit a weight room at some point. Until then, well, Stryfe is coming. Hopefully he’s the right age at least and not also a skinny kid.
I kind of hope they finally reverse their weak reveal that Stryfe was the clone in X-Cutioner’s Song. That in itself was a reversal because, until that point, all hints had pointed to Cable being the “flawed genetic clone” of Stryfe actually. Could be cool if Brisson finally undid that twist. At least IMO.
Cable has a very messy origin https://www.cbr.com/comic-book-legends-revealed-201/ and I am not just talking in the comics.
I would leave the origin for the older Cable alone because it works as it is, but I'd consider making that the origin for this new, young Cable. A clone of Stryfe that rebelled against some kind of programming due to having the memories of the original Cable in some way or another and who ended up infected by the transmode virus. It's no more convulted than Honey Badger's origin. A clone of a clone of a real person.

I wouldn’t have minded Kid Cable having a different origin in some ways from the original version. In fact, my original thought was that this was the case and it was an attempt to streamline the character somewhat. But they’ve been pretty insistent that he is in fact “our Cable” only younger.
