I'm enjoying this series more than I thought I would.

This volume kind of slow downs for a bit to give much needed father/daughter bonding. Watching Cable, a Rough-edge warrior take care of a little girl is priceless. Even better is her nicknames for Cable like "Nay-nay!" and stuff is so adorable. So anyway they're still on the run but for awhile they're able to stop and settle and that's where Cable meets Hope and falls in love and begins a family. On the flip-side Cyclops gets a hold of Bishop and begins his newer ways of convincing villains to do it his way. Which means torture.

Good: I really enjoyed the moments with Cyclops and Emma. Their relationship is pretty interesting one, and kind of sad, but also this sense of powerful bond. I love Cable/Little Hope's relationship, it's wonderful and well told. Bishop's ways are insane yet somehow it keeps the series interesting.

Bad: The art still isn't my thing and I think it takes away from fight scenes. I also thought some of the bug-creature as enemies was bit boring.

Overall this is pretty damn fun, depressing, yet hopeful series. Duane is building bonds with characters I never cared for and that's awesome. A 3.5 out of 5.
