3.0
1) Cable & Deadpool, Vol. 1: If Looks Could Kill ★★★
2) Cable & Deadpool, Vol. 2: The Burnt Offering ★★★
content warnings: violence, gore
representation: pansexual main character
The first two issues of this were so great, and then the subsequent four were really average. The Wade Wilson, Private Investigator, aspects were so interesting, and then it turned into a story about chasing Cable throughout dimensions and that was a lot less interesting. Or at least should have been an entirely separate thing because it didn't really fit with the overall storyline, which was about the Black Box.
I don't know what it is with these comics, but it's like they're physically incapable of focusing on Cable as opposed to Deadpool. I don't know if it's because he's more popular or what, but so far all three volumes have felt less like "Cable & Deadpool" and more like "Deadpool feat. Cable".
I think I just need to accept that this series is always going to have a solid three-stars from me.

Yes, baby Cable was cute but that's not the point.I don't know what it is with these comics, but it's like they're physically incapable of focusing on Cable as opposed to Deadpool.
