Cable #-1

Part of Marvel's 1997 "Flashback" event, this minus-numbered issue dives into the enigmatic origins of Cable — the white-haired, cybernetic mutant soldier from another time. The cover by José Ladrönn and Juan Vlasco is a genuinely arresting composition: a battle-worn Cable, heavy with weapons and his signature techno-organic arm gleaming, strains against a massive grasping hand while the cover copy pointedly asks whether he's mankind's last hope… or something far more sinister. Writer John Pederson and artist Ladrönn bring their talents to "The Devil's Herald," making this a compelling look back at one of Marvel's most complex warriors.
