Can the artists at Marvel please sit down and decide what Cap's costume is gonna look like?

[Colossal Spoons]

Ha, then they'd actually have to communicate with each other.

[x-fan]

maybe he has more than i don't know..... one suit??

[OutcryX]

I am digging the art on this book

[El Bastardo]

Larroca's awesome, even if his art devolves to a talking point of readers going "lol man them faces is annoying he must trace."

The first issue of Cable was promising. Good set-up and hook by Hopeless, and good thing, too, since this thing is apparently a $3.99 double-shipper every month.

[Havok83]

Cable's my second favorite character and its good to see him back and in an ongoing. Im glad Hope was in this bc I didnt expect to see her show up till a bit further down the line

[Colossal Spoons]

Is his new arm really a foot longer than the normal one, like it looks on that cover?

yeah and its hideous, but I guess at least its functional

Forgot to mention but I loved seeing the Cable/Havok exchange. I dont ever recall much if any interaction between the two before. Liked how it was brought up that they are family. Hope to see more of Cable and Uncle Alex

[El Bastardo]

It's a ****ing robotic arm that isn't attached to him.

Why does it need to be "pretty?"

[Colossal Spoons]

It's not ugly, it just looks really long. Like he could scratch his ankles standing up long.

[Havok83]

No one said it needed to be pretty

You're the one who stated "and it's hideous," as if it mattered. So if it matters, and it's mentioned in the fashion of it being a drawback, logic dictates "pretty" is the better alternative.

And Spoons, it's really not that long. His organic hand is at the end of the robotic arm's "forearm," so the only things past that point are the claws, which makes sense. It's not like the majority of the robotic arm stretches past his.

[Havok83]

Thats my opinion on how the thing looks but it doesnt matter bc I mention that at least the thing is functional and he put it to good use in the issue. Me not liking how it looks doesnt mean the thing needs to be "pretty". Its functional and useful for him in battle so ultimately what will matter

[El Bastardo]

[OutcryX]

until this issue..HAVE Nathan and Alex EVER interacted? Alex is his uncle after-all..making him Hope's great-uncle. Though Cable is old enough to be Alex's father and Hope's grand father..if not great grand father...oh these zany Summers and their odd family dynamics...

[JewishHobbit]

Dang... I can't seem to recall a single Alex/Nathan interaction (well, post-baby).

[El Bastardo]

You know you want to be a part of that family tree, Outcry.

Big fan of both and can't recall any. Maybe in Xtinction Agenda or better yet X-Cutioners Song. I'll have to wait till I get home to check that out. In either case those would be before the reveal that Nate was a Summers

Back to Havok and Cable. As I thought, they were on the same lineup back in X-Cutioners Song

I love 'X-Cutioner's Song'. It's what got me into the X-Men.
