Storyline: War Baby
Date: May 7, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Duane Swierczynski
Artists: Ariel Olivetti

Synopsis: Your name is Nathan Summers. You’ve just met a nice Jersey girl. She’s blonde, soft-spoken, and she doesn’t mind the fact that you have a kid…or a bullet in your chest…or a big scary guy with a robot arm that wants to kill you. But you can’t stay here. The future of mutantkind is resting on your shoulders and the longer you stick around, playing house, the bigger the risk. Especially when an old friend comes blasting out of the past…

Opinion: I have not been covering this book like I should have been - it is so very interesting. Strange, but interesting. It’s understandable that every issue seems a bit short, but there’s not much to work with here. It’s just two tough guys and a baby, and Cable’s quandary isn’t very interesting - the one thing driving this whole plot is who the baby is and why Bishop wants her dead.

Everyone has their theories, but no one really knows. I can’t lie; I am holding on to a bit of hope that it ties into the entire storyline where Bishop first met Gambit and thought he was The Witness from his future, the last person to see the X-Men alive and the one who possesses knowledge of who killed the X-Men. An interesting little tidbit: in the Messiah Complex storyline, it was revealed that the Witness was killed by the Marauders in their efforts to destroy anyone with knowledge of the future. I want to believe that entire unresolved issue comes to bear fruit in the recent events in the X-Men universe. But that’s counting on Gambit actually playing an important role in the X-Men, and is probably too much to hope for.
