Unfortunately, the format has gone well beyond stale and is well on its way to becoming petrified. It would be far easier to accept, though, were we not painfully aware that the series is largely killing time until the arrival of a crossover (“Second Coming”) that, by all accounts, it won’t actually be participating in. At least, not in a direct way. The question of what Cable and Hope have been doing since their departure from the present in “Messiah Complex” has never felt more like it could be served, just as entertainingly and far more succinctly, by a few panels of flashback.
