I think that Jeph Loeb, more than any other writer, really humanized Cable. Later on Weinberg would write some compelling stories but this run really set the foundation for it.<br /><br />Loeb might not be the greatest writer but he took Cable from just being cool to actually compelling. Which meant that this went from being a book I bought because it was an X title to being one I bought because I actually liked the character.

Most of the later runs, I believe, were fairly short. Could Loeb be second only to Fabian Nicieza in number of Cable stories written (assuming Fabian is number one, which I have a hard time imagining is not the case)??Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.com
