This review is from: Cable Volume 1: Shining Path TPB (Paperback)

I found this Cable book to be pretty uneven. Sometimes it was really good, sometimes not so much. The art stayed pretty much the same throughout, somewhere in the middle of good and bad. There was a pretty good no dialogue issue contained within as well as some notes at the end. I'd only recommend this for the Cable fan.

This review is from: Cable Volume 1: Shining Path TPB (Paperback)

In The Shining Path, creators David Tischman and Igor Kordey send Cable, one of Marvel's most convoluted characters, in a bold new direction, and while they acknowledge his past history, they do all they can to make the story accessable to new readers.

As the title implies, Cable goes up against a Peruvian terrorist group known as The Shining Path, who are attempting to topple the Government of Peru. The story stumbles when Tischman reveals that most of the Shining Path members are Mutants....There were interesting moments in the story, especially Cable attempting to teach Askani meditation to the children of the Shining Path, but the rest is pretty nondescript. The writing is ok, but I just can't warm up to Kordey's art. (I had an especially hard time following the wordless "'Nuff Said!" story at the end....Good thing the entire script is printed in the back....) The book is overpriced for such a slim volume, and even padding it with Kordey's essay about the September 11th terrorist attacks, the 'Nuff Said script, and Tischman & Kordey's original proposal doesn't go much further towards adding value for money. Considering the original issues can probably be had for around the same price, I'd advise interested parties to go that route. While The Shining Path was an OK way to spend an hour, I wouldn't come back for more.....
