Nathan Summers, better known as Cable, is back in action for a brand-new series! Our favorite time-traveler continues his adventures through time thanks to the talents of writer David Pepose (Punisher, Space Ghost), artist Mike Henderson (Daredevil, Deadpool vs. Old Man Logan), colorist Arif Prianto (Venom War: Lethal Protectors), and letterer VC’s Joe Sabino (NYX). Everything old is new again, as Cable finds himself with a unique mission, new allies, and new enemies in a story that hits a bit closer to home…

Official Synopsis:
MARVEL’S MOST EXTREME MUTANT RETURNS! He’s been a soldier. An X-Man. A protector of the timestream. But even from his earliest days, the mutant known as Cable has been living on borrowed time, waging a lonely war against the ravages of the Techno-Organic Virus. Yet when a high-stakes mission in the future goes catastrophically awry, Cable is left stranded in the dystopian city of Salvation Bay — and will find himself caught in the midst of a civil war that will change his life forever. Get ready for big action, bigger threats and the biggest guns in the Marvel Universe, in this epic new series from Ringo Award-winning writer David Pepose (Punisher, Savage Avengers) and superstar artist Mike Henderson (Daredevil, Deadpool vs. Old Man Logan)!

Creative Team:
Writer: David Pepose 
Artist: Mike Henderson
Color Artist: Arif Prianto
Letterer: VC’s Joe Sabino

While attempting to stop a timeline altering event, Cable and the menacing new villain known as Cicada are tossed around the time stream (sorry for the overuse of the word time, but it is a Cable book that we’re talking about). Nathan lands in Salvation Bay, a mysterious city where other humans are also infected with the techno-organic virus!? With a little help from Resistance Leader Commander Avery Ryder, our hero finds a new mission and new reason to fight for the future. 

In a visual medium such as comics, it can be hard to perfectly encapsulate how a story is going to feel in the opening pages, let alone THE opening page of a book. Cable: Love & Chrome does just that, as we open with Cable strapped to the front of a Mad Max-style vehicle complete with dilapidated Sentinel head. Crazy stuff right? Don’t worry…the creative team is just getting started as the timey-whimey shenanigans kick-off with a new threat to the future. By the end of the third page, it was clear that this book was going to be a thrill ride. I’ve always found Cable to be an interesting character, but the last time I felt like his story had hit a compelling arc was during his 2008 ongoing series. Cable: Love & Chrome is a standout from the “From the Ashes Era” of X-Books. The energy in this book can be felt on every single page.

To the Powers-That-Be at Marvel, please give us more of this. Cable: Love & Chrome is a big win.
