Cable: Love and Chrome #3 is the highest in many ways. Not only will Cable and Avery Rider finally resolve the war that he is fighting Prime Conclave, but Cable brings the fight against the techno-organic virus, hindering his life to a critical point. The latter conflict will occur in Nathan Summers’ mind and will undoubtedly continue to hook the X-Fans completely.
Mike Henderson starts the matter with a unique visual set. Cable runs through the fields in his mind while he lays on his current operating table. The reciprocating trips between the panels slowly build danger, with x-rays introducing bones wrapped in metal, and in the cable landscape he is chased by a skeletal terminator who wants to “assimilate” him. This is more or less the techno-organic virus taking on a scary form.
The exchange continues as Avery leads the final strike against Prime Conclave. Her accusations of enemy bases overlap with the mental and physical cable battle against the virus that has resolved to take his life. As if Henderson’s prosperity for drawing intense action isn’t enough for thrills, the colorist Arif print offers a great contrast between both scenes. While much of the real world is enveloped in shadow, Cable’s spirit war is backed by a rosy pink sky and golden fields of wheat.
Amazing
Overall Cable: In Love and Chrome #3, David Pepose highlights the connection between Cable and Avery and how it spreads beyond emotions. It focuses as Cable stumbles on the mental projection of Avery’s sister Lucy. Pepose holds back problems in these little moments, strengthens its connection, and shows you why Avery is important to Cable, and as a result, I give a truly shocking plot twist that just makes me want to have the next two issues.
Peopose also brings back the mysterious Cicada to the point of taking out the cable. This raises many questions. In other words, “Who is this guy? Why does he hate cable? How can he time travel?” But once again, it seems that readers will have to wait for two more questions. If Pepose’s previous works, especially his turn of Savage Avengers – is any indication, he has one or two twists left on his sleeves, and they are tied to reconstructing what this series will turn out.
Cable: Love and Chrome #3 is built on an epic finale and brings unexpected twists to deliver equal victory and tragedy. I don’t think there was a book that was as surprising as this in the current lineup of X-Men titles, but it shows what happens when you place your character in the right creative hands.
