Cable #5

Two figures square off nose-to-nose over a glowing, crystal-bladed weapon that crackles with energy between them — Cable, grey-haired and armored, facing a younger, red-scarved opponent in what appears to be a prehistoric landscape dotted with pterodactyls and lush jungle. Dale Keown's cover art gives the confrontation real physical weight, the tension of two sets of hands locked on the same artifact practically leaping off the page. With James Robinson writing and Yıldıray Çınar on interior art, this 2017 conclusion arc wraps up with all the urgency that cover promises.
