    Family Secrets last edited by renchamp on 03/17/20 03:52PM View full history

    Cable goes to Professor X with an important request - help Nathan track down his wayward son, Tyler Summers! Plus, a murder investigation brings Domino face to face with an old friend!

    Cable gets a message from his son Tyler and asks the Blaquesmith for help in locating him. Traveling to Tyler's citadel, Cable doesn't find Tyler, but he does find the wife he buried in the future. Meanwhile, Domino is hunting the Rockies in an attempt to put her fears to rest about a serial killer. Sadly, it seems her suspicions are confirmed. Her friend and old teammate Grizzly looks to be the murderer.

    Synopsis

    Storm, wanting to discuss the atrocities that happened at Akkaba by Cable's son Genesis, wanders around until she finds Cable floating upside down in midair, meditating. Cable finds the topic shameful, but also timely, as he received a postcard in the mail that very day with a cryptic message from what he suspects is Genesis. Leaving nothing to chance, Cable approaches Professor Xavier and asks for help in locating Genesis. Due to some psionic interference, Xavier is not hopeful.

    With no other option, Cable turns to Blaquesmith. The minuscule mentor is still puzzling over a recent break-in, but takes time to clue Cable in to the whereabouts of Genesis. He points Cable to Genesis's sanctuary, the site of Cable's last encounter. After Cable leaves, Blaquesmith does his own meditation and channels in a message from Mother Askani. The two confirm that Cable's trials are just starting.

    At the sanctuary of Genesis, Cable finds the place empty. He wanders until he finds a woman lying on a dais. He is shocked to find that it is his wife, Jenskot, whom he thought he had buried in the distant future.

    In the Rockies, Domino avoids a hunting party while searching for a friend of hers that she suspects is guilty of a rash of recent murders. She finds an old safe house for the Six Pack and finds things are mostly the same. The attic, however, is littered with mutilated corpses. Her old friend Grizzly emerges from the shadows. He seems crazed and rambles about somebody changing him and making him kill. Regardless of the cause, the two know that a fight is inevitable.

    I love when creators switch up artists for different stories within an issue, especially when consistency is involved. Case in point: this issue. The main story is drawn by the regular Cable artist Ian Churchill. He does his normal/excellent job. He could, no doubt, have also done Domino's story within this issue. I love that a different route was taken. In older issues, different artists would be brought in to draw scenes for the Six Pack. And, since Domino and Grizzly were from the Six Pack, i...
