Cable #17

I just can't figure this comic out. I took a pass while the book crossed over with X-Force, and now that I'm reading it again, it seems Cable and Hope are stranded in some post-apocalyptic world with only two cities still alive. One is clean and orderly, run by Stryfe's followers, while the other is a mess of "unclean" people. Both groups are attempting to flee the now-hostile planet Earth. This issue and the last dealt with Cable overcoming his techno-organic virus (again) and Hope befriending a young man in this dark future. There really isn't anything more going on. Bishop is still hunting Hope, and Cable is still trying to protect her. This comic really hasn't moved on at all since issue 1.

Paul Gulacy's artwork is always nice and expressive, and it is again here. I don't really care for his take on Cable or Bishop, but Hope looks good, especially as she ages.
