Cable vs. Bishop

So Cable is the long-lost future son of Scott and Jean, huh? Or is it going to be Scott and Madelyne? I kinda saw that one coming from way back - they were dropping hints back in X-Force and those titles, lo so many, many years ago. They've got a long-lost future daughter too, you know. Haven't seen ol' Rachel Summers around in a few years now. She was pretty cool, though. Did they ret-con her? I hope not, because lil' Phoenix was pretty hip and I really wanted to see where that was going to go, but IIRC, she pretty much exited the whole thing in/around Uncanny 200, never to be heard from again...

Anyway, here's yet another PR from the good folk up to the Big Apple:

The past, present and future of mutankind are at stake as Bishop and Cable wage war for the new mutant child in the near future! Cable #2, from the acclaimed team of novelist Duane Swierczynski (Moon Knight Annual) and Ariel Olivetti (Punisher War Journal) continues the sold-out series as Cable and Bishop do battle! It's kill first, ask questions later as these former allies wage war! Meanwhile, heavily armed forces have their sites set on eliminating Cable once and for all!

Critics continue to hail Cable as one of 2008's most x-citing new series. Steven Bari of ComicsBulletin declared the first issue to be, "Violent. Thrilling. Charming. Cable #1 is the beginning of a great action-adventure."

"Any fan of the X-franchise, and Messiah CompleX in particular, should be buying this book," gushed Richard George, IGN.Com.

Paul Steven Brown, of ComicAddiction.Com, said, "I'm curious to see where this series will go in the next few months."

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Cable, as the series ties into the red-hot Divided We Stand storyline and continues to affect the X-Men! Can Cable survive Bishop's assault? Find out in Cable #2!
