I've been re-reading the last Cable series on Marvel Unlimited since a new one was dropping. I love that series. Cable #1 (2008)

No. That's Christopher Priest the British horror writer (the guy who did The Prestige). This is Christopher Priest the American comics writer. There's a slight but noticeable difference ...

On the other hand this makes his "youth dialogues" less endearing and more baffling.

Is the idea is that the HIVE agents are just terrible at pretending to be millennials, and Deathstroke's kid is too stupid to realize that they're all trying way too hard to be Fellow Youths? Because I really like the idea of Deathstroke's kid being clueless to the point where he's just like "yeah, these guys check out."

I have liked Priest's stuff so much that I want to believe that's intentionally bad in the service of some joke I don't know about.

Yeah, it's pretty much exactly that. Grant almost being too dumb to function is practically a running joke in "The Lazarus Contract." Slade ends up stealing Kid Flash's powers and going back in time to try and save Grant's life. By the time we as readers catch up to them in the last issue, Slade has had to try to do it three times, because every time he's tried, Grant is too dumb and stubborn to listen to him.

You know at some point you have to wonder why Slade just doesn't go back in time to the night Grant was conceived and gives his younger self a condom saying "trust me, the kid's not worth the effort."

I am inordinately disappointed he's not wearing a desert camo batsuit. Come on, Bats, your camo index won't get above 30% if you clash like that and aren't lying flat.

Serioustalk though, I figure at LEAST he could make his mask and cape octo-camo so he can have his broody brand recognition suit alongside the desert poncho look.

Or maybe he had enough foresight to realize that camo isn't worth the effort when primary-colored tights-wearing Superman will be insisting on standing within five feet of you anyway.

But then they'll think "it's just Superman, I've got some kryptonite, it's fi-" I loving loved it when they pulled that stunt on Brave and the Bold.

Now I'm imagining a superhero team that all wears the same face-concealing costume so that people THINK they're one omnipotent being, but they all have just one power each, Ten Brothers style. Or, just adapt the folk legend as a modern superhero story, I guess.

Priest only took the Deahtstroke series after they assured him that it was the same Deathstroke as ever and they hadn't made him a black guy.

His middle name was Christopher, he's a priest. No idea why he changed his name from Jim Owsley, but whatever reason he had that's a pretty easy jump.
