Cable #156

Chapter 2 of "Past Fears" arrives with one of 2018's most visceral cover images — Daniel Warren Johnson's artwork depicts two versions of Cable locked in brutal close-quarters combat, one driving a massive firearm down against the other while golden, tentacle-like coils writhe around them both against a blazing red sky. The smaller inset in the corner adds yet another iteration of the iconic mutant soldier, hinting at a story that fractures Cable across time and identity. With Thompson, Nadler, Peralta, and Aburtov steering the interior, this is a series firing on all cylinders.
