This was great fun with some genuine laugh out loud moments. I'm not either a Cable or a Deadpool fan, but I didn't have to be to figure out who these guys are and what they do.

A big part of what the author has them do is lampoon the excesses of the 90s comic books scene (especially those of Rob Liefeld). There's a good story underneath, though, about Cable taking decisive action toward his goal of uplifting humanity (and Deadpool taking decisive action without any real goal except to take action).

One word of warning: Cable is undeniably the star of the show here. Deadpool's appearances are mostly for comic relief rather than because he's a true protagonist. Not a problem to me, but for those considering this because they love Deadpool, do bear this in mind.

Deadpool and Cable star together (ironically) in this collection of the comic series cable and Deadpool. I, being a MAJOR fan of Deadpool, couldn't resist the temptation to pool out the money to buy this book, and I wasn't disappointed. From panel to panel, through all the witty banter and sarcastic remarks and one-liners, I was engrossed. Deadpool was brought back with great precision and Cable as well. Happily, this is not just a touch-and-go-let's-kick-some-[...]-and-finish-this-story-to-give-to-the-publishers. Nope, the plot was great (a tad ridiculous at times, but, hey, that's what makes it great!) and followed through the entire course of the book. The artwork doesn't leave much to be desired, if anything at all. Beautiful scenes were put together, wheteher it is a fight, or a quiet contemplation moment. There are couple times where the talk becomes a bit suggestive, but we have a new invention called maturity that takes care of that. All in all, I would recommend this for anyone who is a fan of Deadpool, Cable, the X-Men in general, or just looking for a good read. And honestly, anyone who finds fault with this book obviously doesn't know what they're reviewing and doesn't appreciate good kick-[...]literature.

I just read volume 1 of "Cable & Deadpool" it was amazing... it is tied for my personal number 1 Marvel series. Tied with "Amazing Spiderman" Volume 1 and "Wolverine: Enemy of the State." FYI check those out if you have not.

Story - 4.5/5 - very few flaws
Artwork - 5/5 - perfect
Dialogue - 5/5 - Cable is now my favorite marvel character.

This is a really good book featuring Cable, and Deadpool.
this books plays out on the Odd couple theme and it works nicely. The art is really great and fits the story and charcters well. The cover on the other hand is truly horrible. Dont worry its not the same artist thats does the inside. the cover has nothing to do with the story, and Cable looks as if he is going camping.

The story is great. its about an organization stealing this thing that changes appearences. Cable and Deadpool both are trying to get it back. Deadpool as usual is making a joke a minute and Cable is no where near boring. They star pretty well together and i highly recomend this book.

plain and simple. This is one of the most under rated series in the last 10 years. I wont review all the volumes cause its just one big great story arc, with deadpool vs the marvel universe being the weakest but by no means bad in any way. Do yourself a favor and get the whole series you wont be disappointed

Cable is the mutant savior of humanity. Deadpool is the smartass Merc With a Mouth. together, they're like oil and water, but somehow, they compliment each other, and even manage to find common ground.

Deadpool is hired by a cult-like One World Church to steal a designer virus that will turn the skin of everyone infected with it to the same color in an attempt to eradicate racism and bring unity to the world. Cable's out to destroy the virus because of its major side effect - it literally makes people melt like candle wax. the two men collide, with bullets flying, quips slinging, and brains exploding (well, it's usually just Deadpool's brain being telepathically blown out the back of his head by an annoyed Cable).

though the story is absurd at times (like the melting part), the story poses the possibility that even though it may sound nice, having a world where everyone looks the same may not be a good idea after all.

I have liked deadpool ever since i read his own series and when I saw this i was like Sweet !!!!!!! So i bought it and now own volumes 1-6 and it is the best comic series ever !!!!!
