a monkey stole my juicebox
the first story arc is about nate trying to prevent a communist terrorist organization from taking over peru, and i'm of two minds about this. ish 97 is the first attempt at taking a different direction when it comes to cable as a character and his methods. instead of fighting ridiculous superpowered villains in tights in order to save the world, he's now trying to achieve that same goal by righting the wrongs locally, 'travelling to political hot spots and war zones', and, for me, that's a much more interesting read. on the other hand, tischman's storytelling is rather bumpy, and it can get confusing at times. plus, i can't help but empathize with these terrorists, which is making me uncomfortable.

the second arc is nate intervening in a local conflict between albanians and the government forces in macedonia, where both sides are secretly developing weapons against each other right under nato's peace making force's nose.
i was about to say that this kind of biological weapon is scientifically impossible, but then i remembered that i'm reading a comic book about a dude with a metal arm and a glowing eye, and let's not forget about his telepathy and telekinesis. well shit.


@темы: cable, marvel
