Cable, Vol. 2

review 1: Cable escapes into the future with the mutant child born during Messiah Complex, to keep her alive since Bishop seems hell bent on killing her, as he sees her as the cause of his alternate reality, while Cable and the rest of the X-Men see her as the beginning of the future for them. Bishop follows Cable, and through some rather too convenient circumstances, tracks Cable and the child to the New Jersey of 2043, and confronts them, trying to kill both. Cable, after several issues of trying to travel back in time even though he seems unable to, finally figures out that he can still forward in time, and jumps just in the nick of time, leaving Bishop behind and having to start his search all over again. So basically, I felt that we arrived right back at the beginning of the st... moreory again, just with Cable and the child farther into the future. Did this seem worth it right now? Not really. Will there be some significance to the events in this volume that will be important in later stories? Possibly. And that's why I'm willing to give it a chance into the next volume. It's like putting the pieces of a puzzle together, and you don't always know when one piece that has been eluding you is finally going to come together with the larger picture.
review 2: Me gusta cómo encara Olivetti el dibujo en esta obra: para personas, todo llevado al extremo del hiperdetalle, de la hipermusculación y un coloreado hiperespecífico para cada churunguito que aparece. Y para objetos y lugares, unos modelos 3D bastante bonitos, aunque en algunas escenas no peguen con los personajes y parezcan acoplados medio a la fuerza. En cuanto al guion: Cable quiere salvar a una bebita mutante y viaja a través del tiempo para protegerla mientras que Bishop quiere matar a esa misma bebita y los sigue a través del tiempo para eliminarla. Y eso durante cinco capítulos. Aunque la edición de Panini es más corta que la yanqui y para leer la conclusión tuve que hacer trampa y concluir la lectura con el tomo 2. Después veo si subo los demás números de la edición española (que como son tomos más cortos, tiene más libros), me hago el nabo y sigo reseñando en base a la yanqui o qué. Eso sí, esperemos que la historia cuente un cachitín más en los tomos venideros... less
