    I'm over Hope. She's boring, and Cable has been too. The X-Men should be involved in the War of Kings, not this.

    They did have a Messiah Complex thread and Cable is also a book in this...... I think it deserves it.

    "X-FORCE/CABLE: MESSIAH WAR," PART 2

    The sequel to 2007's MESSIAH COMPLEX continues here! Cyclops has complete faith that his son, Cable, will do everything he can to protect the so-called mutant messiah — who he believes will save mutantkind. But he also knows what havoc former X-Man Lucas Bishop has wreaked in the nightmarish future. So now he's sent his black ops team, the X-Force, on a risky, time-traveling mission to save Cable and the child, completely unaware that there's something else waiting for them in the future. Something not even Bishop was counting on…

    "X-FORCE/CABLE: MESSIAH WAR"

    STRYFE STRIKES! Cable and X-Force's greatest nemisis returns! The X-event of the decade continues in MESSIAH WAR, and things go from "bad" to "worst case scenario" as X-Force and Cable struggle to keep Hope alive. While Cyclops fights to keep X-Force's involvement a secret in the present, Cable and Wolverine butt heads in the future over control of the child. Making matters worse, a member of X-Force abandons the team as an army of darkness descends upon them, leaving the team a man down with their backs to the wall. Past, present and future collide as the war for Mutantkind's survival continues. Part 3 (of 7)

    I know what you mean.  I just thought I'd make one since Messiah Complex had one and this is the sequel.

    “X-FORCE/CABLE: MESSIAH WAR,” PART 4   
    The sequel to 2007’s MESSIAH COMPLEX continues here! “Messiah War,” the much-anticipated sequel to “Messiah
    CompleX,” continues here! For the first time, Cable’s been separated from the girl he’s sworn to raise and protect — Hope, the so-called “Mutant Messiah” — and now she’s in the hands of his greatest enemy! Meanwhile, X-Force, sent by Cyclops on a desperate rescue mission to the deep future, scrambles to find their way out of a trap that will kill them in matter of hours. And if that’s not enough, an old — some might say ancient — enemy of the X-Men has reared his ugly head one last time…
