Over the last few months, the creative team behind Cable: Love & Chrome has provided readers with a gift. Not only has this story been one of the strongest Nathan Summers adventures in years, but the finale puts a bow on a timeless X-Men adjacent adventure. We rarely cover the release of an entire mini-series, but this book felt different from the start and was worth that time. This book dared to do something different with Cable, allowing readers to experience a different side of our time traveling hero. Despite the sci-fi elements, the characterization was grounded and truly moved Nathan’s story forward an innovative new way.

Marvel Editorial team, can we get a green light on a new Cable ongoing featuring this creative team? You have our full support.

Rating: ★★★★★
ComicsOnline gives Cable: Love & Chrome #5 – a flawless finale with a 5 out of 5. What an ending.
