Cable #68

The cover of Cable #68 says it all — Cable himself charges forward in a burst of blazing energy, while the Vision, Thor with Mjolnir raised high, Captain America, and an intangible figure are scattered around him in various states of combat and recoil. It's a striking 1999 composition from cover penciler José Ladrönn and inker Juan Vlasco that pits Marvel's time-displaced soldier against some of the heaviest hitters in the Marvel Universe. "Sign of the End Times Part 3: Faraway, So Close" promises the kind of high-stakes tension that made this era of Cable comics genuinely compelling reading.
