Cable #44

Cable crouches in his imposing techno-organic armor, gold and blue against a stark background, while a red-haired Madelyne Pryor looms threateningly above him — and the cover copy makes no secret of the confrontation ahead. Titled "Sins of the Mother," this June 1997 issue promises the Askani'Son coming face-to-face with one of the Marvel Universe's most charged figures. Randy Green's pencils and Scott Hanna's inks bring a sharp intensity to the encounter that fans of this era's X-Men storytelling will appreciate.
