Cable #66

Cable finds himself battered and buried in rubble on this striking 1999 cover by José Ladrönn and Juan Vlasco, his cybernetic arm crackling with energy as a massive, menacing robotic figure looms overhead amid a backdrop of fire and urban destruction. The story arc kicks off with "Sign of the End Times Part 1: Death from Above," and the cover's subtitle — "Harbinger of Doom!" — sets an appropriately ominous tone for what lies ahead. Joe Casey's run on the title was building real momentum at this point, and Ladrönn's dynamic, sprawling compositions make this issue one that immediately commands attention on the shelf.
