Cable #52

This issue promised revelations, indeed there're some, but not enough to justify the cover. Casey shed some light in Ch'Vayre's past and origins, what was quite fun. It's a shame why Marvel decided to completely ignore Cable's role as the messiah and the whole Askani plot, proving that the House of Ideas timeline and continuity are definitely ideas that not see them through in the big run. I believe the Askani religion and other elements from the future where Cable lived could be used in plots these days, personally I think it's a pity Marvel overuled them completely. Though this issue has some ups, like the small part of the origin of Ch'Vayre revealed, the Hellfire Club's scenes were quite good (there weren't bickering, instead the realization of them finding Apocalypse's lair was very well writen) and the fact that there were none recapitulations and flashback scenes, unfortunately there were several setbacks and downs too. Joe Casey's prediletcions to the morality involving war crimes, what resulted in long and unnecessary dialogues and captions, really were a drag. German Garcia replaced Ladrönn in the pencil department and it wasn't a very good fill in, but there were interesting, logical and coherent scenes, especially the ones involving Cable going towards his enemies. Overall this issue was good, not solid, because Casey decided to establish some characterizations of Cable by using a narrative device (or structure) that weren't as good (the whole Nazi stuff), but the fact that Cable took a decision regarding Irene was coherent and interesting too.
