Cable Issue 8 Review

Cable Issue 8 is the next issue right in the Really Big Comic Book Box of Doom to be pulled right out for a Random Comic Book Review. In this issue, Stryfe continues his vengeance on those who may try and use him. However, there are huge problems right out there and the nature of pretty much everything of what Cable and Stryfe both are, and the twisted family tree and nature of their existence.

Cable Issue 8 Review

Cable Issue 8 was Part 3 of the Fathers and Sons Story Arc, titled "Dayspring", released by Marvel Comics in February 1994. Cable Issue 8 was written by Fabian Nicieza, Penciled by Aron Wisenfield, Inked by Al Vey and Jon Holderedge, Lettered by Chris Eliospoulus, and Marie Javins was on colored.

Ah Cable, one of the characters where when people complain about what was wrong with the comic book industry in the 1990s, he is one of the shining examples of that. Now granted, I don't have too much of a problem with Cable in general. If you know what you are getting right into with his comics, where there can be some insanity and perhaps some characterization depending on who is writing, then that is fine.

As for this issue, really it was just really just a look in the past. Stryfe tends to be a character for me that has never hit the right notes, ever. And I'm reminded why as I read this issue. I think it is a concept, where he may or may not be the original and Cable might be the duplicate and...yeah comics in the nineties.

Although I'm intrigued about what Stryfe's true end game is in this issue, but I'm sure he has something up his sleeve. He gave up a bit too easily for my taste or my comfort level. The best parts of this issue, involved the cameos from the very X-Men and there were some kind of underlying awkwardness between Cyclops and Cable. And he wants to know about his mother. Oh boy, that will be a tricky one to tell. "Yeah son, I had you with a clone of my dead love, only who really wasn't dead, and when I found out she was alive, I just upped and done left you without explanation. Good times, good times."

This comic book was much deeper than most of the later runs of Cable and I appreciated it for that. Overall Cable Issue 8 was an interesting read.
