Avengers: X-Sanction #[nn]

This 2012 prelude to the Avengers vs. X-Men event follows a time-displaced Cable on a desperate mission to eliminate key Avengers—including Captain America, Iron Man, and the Red Hulk—whom he believes will cause the death of his father, Cyclops. Written by Jeph Loeb with art by Ed McGuinness, the story sets the stage for the conflict between Earth's Mightiest Heroes and mutantkind, with high-stakes action and a grim, time-travel-driven plot.
