Cable #1

Ariel Olivetti's painted cover says it all: a massively built Cable strides forward, white hair and steely glare radiating hard-won determination, while a bald infant rests in a harness against his chest — a striking image of warrior-as-protector that sets the tone for "War Baby Chapter One." Part of Marvel's 2008 "Divided We Stand" initiative, this launch issue pairs writer Duane Swierczynski with Olivetti handling full art duties, a creative team ready to push Cable into challenging new territory. If you've ever wanted to see Marvel's time-lost soldier reimagined as a gruff guardian, this is a compelling place to start.
