    Review: Cable #25

    Deadpool takes readers on a "behind the scenes" look at his secret role in the Messiah Complex storyline.
     
    THE GOOD
    I haven't read any of Swierczynski's work before, but I'll definitely look for his name after this, because this was probably the funniest superhero comic I've read in as long as I can remember. Deadpool's sense of humor is notoriously hard for writers to nail. Many try, few nail it. And Swierczynski nails it to the wall right here in a spotless storytelling dance with Paco Medina. I was laughing at Deadpool and pumping my fist for Cable's bad-assry in this, and it's hard enough to do just one of those things in a comic.
     
    THE BAD
    I can't believe this series is ending. This was my first issue reading it and it seems like it'll be the last in the series? If that's a case, it's a real shame, because I would have looked forward to reading next month's issue.
     
    THE VERDICT
    Out of all the comics I read this week, this was definitely the best. Pick it up if you want a belly laugh and rush of adrenaline from some well-executed action.
     
    4/5

This book however makes me really want him to stay alive.  Why?  BECAUSE I FORGOT HOW AWESOME THIS TEAM CAN BE! Seriously, I love Deadpool but when he's teamed up with Cable it makes him sooooooo much better. You need a straight man to keep the laughs coming. And the action can really flesh itself out when two players with very different tactic...

      See three statement summary below  A lot is going in the X Universe, way to much for a man with a budget.  Though I didn't buy this for the xmen, I bought this for good ole Deadpool and his revival tour with Cable.  Now I never read and Cable Deadpool before this so I'm at a disadvantage of reviewing for fans, but for newbies to the series and the Xmen as a whole I can say you probably will enjoy this book.  It's quick, it's witty, a lot happens, it shoots first and explains later, and is all an...
