49

Some new baddie, Paladin, with HF goons

50

We learn that Apoc poured his life essence into a being in the early 1900s
Shaw trying to wake him up
Madeline warns C to stop Shaw
Cable fights being
Cable reasons with being
I really like how the episode started off emotionally with Cable checking on his pops, the younger Scott Summers. I'm pretty impressed with how the various writers are able to mash up one persona of Cable with as the grisled veteran with another persona of a son recently connected with his parents.
I'm not going to lie, it's incredibly unsettling when Madeline Pryor shows up randomly in front of Cable. You would think it might be a fun relationship to toy with, but it just always ends up coming across weird to me. It's one thing for him to interact with his dad who's younger than him, but then when he meets his mom who is young, hot, formerly evil, and dead...I just can't do it.
51
C and Irene head to Switzerland
C fights mobs of HF goons, like Neo vs Agent Smith
ChVayre helps Shaw and Pierce as they squabble

Who...the fuck...is Master Man and why is this set up like it's something I should care about when I clearly don't?
52
Ch’Vayre was brought to this time by Madame Sanctity, to engineer a battle between c and A
Wilhelm is a former Nazi super soldier, now a C believer and is trying to repent
C ditches Irene before heading into the Alps
Wilhelm sacrifices himself for C and dies
53
Apoc not in tomb
C Vs Pierce
CV locked in a tomb
Apoc frees Ozymandias and Caliban from servitude
Notice I'm not comment much on the story. It's because you're not missing much. But Apocalypse releasing Ozymandias and Caliban from this servitude, that's a pretty big deal. I almost didn't like how it happened unceremoniously in this random Cable issue. I feel like these late 90's comics have gotten to the point where anything interesting better happen in the X-Men titles or else it's not a story worth telling. Is there going to be an event coming soon?
