I really applaud Hopeless for revealing that Cable and X-Force did actually kill the factory workers. He did a pretty great job in showing that they had little choice in the matter, with the girth-virus gestalt ready to rampage the factory. So, no, Cable and X-Force aren't going around the country indiscriminately killing humans, as the media are now reporting. But, they did actually kill those people. We're not dealing with some elaborate conspiracy that made it look like they killed them, as we usually are in comics.
Well, we may be dealing with an elaborate conspiracy, actually. Between the revelation last issue that the CEO of Eat-More didn't know about the virus and the enigmatic appearance of Deathlok here, Hopeless has made it clear that something is happening behind the scenes. But, Hopeless is clearly in no rush to reveal his cards. In the meantime, we've got Cable going into the darkness to do what he does while the rest of the team tries to find tequila and fish tacos.
For me, the next step is Hopeless explaining why Cable didn't feel like he could explain his actions to Havok. I actually feel like Hopeless has an answer to that question, given that it's clear that we still don't know everything. We'll see where next issue brings us. All in all, although I know this series isn't everyone's cup of tea, I have to say that I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
