Golden Age
They might as well have picked a random team member's name out of a hat and said "wolverine - go kill."

I must resist the urge to buy the Lovelorn TPB (#504-507 & Annual) and the Sisterhood TPB (#508-512) because I'm sure that Marvel will not leave things like that. The lack of OHC is very disappointing. The Manifest Destiny OHC collects Uncanny X-Men #500-503 and Avengers/X-Men: Utopia OHC collects issues #513-514 of his run. Why the gap in the run? Eric

The mansion has just been decimated by sentinels who wolverine and cyclops find out were piloted by people infected with nano-sentinels. All of a sudden out of the blue, Wolverine says "you really think Cable'd go that far?" Wha-wha-whaat? Since when were they talking about Cable?
When was Cable even mentioned in this or prior issues?

All of a sudden out of the blue, Wolverine says "you really think Cable'd go that far?" Wha-wha-whaat? Since when were they talking about Cable? Just before the Sentinels attack, Nightcrawler telepathically contacts Emma -- he's just fled from a firefight with the Marauders, where he and Wolverine have learned that they DON'T have the baby. Cable has her. He was thought dead for months -- but he's the one who killed all the Marauders in Alaska and stole the baby from the hospital. And just as Emma tells Cyclops, and Cyclops wonders why Cable didn't get in touch with them and tell them he was alive -- as he's wondering why Cable didn't come to them with the baby, and what Cable even wants with her anyway -- the Sentinels attack the mansion. When was Cable even mentioned in this or prior issues? He's actually seen on-panel in the cliffhanger climax of the previous issue, holding the baby. It's a big dramatic reveal. I can't believe you read this twice and didn't catch this. It's fairly blatant. -Jeph!

SamyMerchi wrote: My main complaint with the X-Men franchise these days is that it feels disjointed. Writers, plans and directions change every two years in a way that feels more marketing-oriented than organically growing from the characters and plots. The only X-book that actually feels like it's organically developing is X-Factor, and no surprise, it's had the same writer for five years and is on the fringes so editors and marketing teams don't whiplash it this way and that every six months. You don't feel like there's any kind of long-term development when you only get about four storylines per writer, they barely get something started and then they're gone. Also, too much focus on Scott, Logan and Emma. The franchise has the richest stable of characters in the industry and 95% of them are sidelined so we can have half a dozen books a month where Scott, Logan and Emma are hotdogging.
