I'm reading this for Boom-Boom and to see what continued atrocities Brisson is going to inflict on Rachel. This contrived "Stryfe is back and selling future arms to countries" reeks of the 90's lead-in to "X-Cutioner's Song".

Shatterstar and Deathlok don't give a ****.

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.

I like the cover and the art is good.

I still do not like Kid Cable but the comic got a good start the X-Force style is easily recognized.

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.

- We shouldn't kill when there's other options, James!

*Shatterstar proceeds to disembowel the closest goon without a care in the world*

*Domino is going wild with the head shots*

This is hilarious

not sure if srs

Nathan Christopher Summers was the baby infected with the transmode virus and sent into the future.

Cable is a grown man from the future with transmode cybernetic enhancements.

Stryfe showed no signs of transmode anything.

He's probably talking before him being Nathan was established. Liefield was gonna make Cable a clone of Stryfe that rebelled against him.

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.

[Jackraow21]

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.
