Spoilers

Marvel Comics and Cable #5 Spoilers and Review follows.

X Of Swords Part 8 With…

…A Family Affair On…

…S.W.O.R.D.’s Orbital HQ!

We open with a dramatis personae and…

…then leap onto SWORD’s orbital base.

There is a threat on the base and the SWORD staff are gone…

…dead it would seem.

Father and son find…

…something that leads them to faceless death…

…the Vescora…

…a bigger threat than they initially realize, but…

…the family handles it.

That allows Cable to join the other sword bearers…

…for the upcoming contest of swords against the fighters of Arakko.

The Pulse:

An interesting family dynamic on display, but another story that seemed “eh”, that builds to the next chapter of X of Swords. Solid art. 6.5 out of 10.
