Ultimate X-Men #78
Cable: Part 4: The man from the future: Ultimate Cable, makes his final stand against those from the present who oppose him...and death will follow. It’s the end of the road for one of the X-Men. And you’ll be shocked and saddened by who it will be...
All in all, a good read. It was mostly action-packed and seeing Cyclops do some bad-ass stuff was pretty cool. I'm still playing catch-up with the Ultimates books. But the X-Men and Spider-Man lines have been pretty cool.

Captain America’s depleted forces have determined the secret of File 42, setting them on a last-ditch collision course with Iron Man and the Pro-Registration heroes! It’s the beginning of the battle of the century—a conflict in which virtually every superhuman on Earth will be forced to choose a side to fight on!
Civil War's been a 'hit or miss' type thing. It started off real strong but now i'm getting nervous on how they're gonna end this and what the aftermath is gonna be. The Punisher / Cap scene was excellent. Captain America beating the hell out of The Punisher for killing a couple Villains (who wanted to work for Cap). He's sluggin' Punisher and yelling at him: "Fight , you coward!". And a beaten Frank just says ",,not against you". Dope!

Faith in Monsters 1: Venom, lethal protector! The enigmatic Moonstone! Bullseye, the man who never misses! Songbird, mistress of sound! Chen Lu, the Radioactive Man! Swordsman, master of the blade! The mystery man called Penance! And Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin! They’re America’s newest celebrities, ready to take to the skies at a moment’s notice in pursuit of those secret, unregistered superhumans hiding among us! They’re the All-New, All-Deadly THUNDERBOLTS—making the world a safer place for ordinary people one would-be costumed hero at a time! In the wake of CIVIL WAR, Warren Ellis and Mike Deodato present a dark and disturbing take on Marvel’s most wanted, where the line between hero and villain is difficult to find—if it exists at all!
A great concept! But the first issue was really lacking. Except for the nice convo between Norman Osbourne and Bullseye, the issue was a little light. Granted: it's a total set up issue. Let's see where it goes.
