Cable #72

Cable crouches low and battle-ready in the foreground, his techno-organic arm gleaming, while an enormous, hulking creature of stone and shadow looms over him from a dripping, cavernous pit — the cover's tagline "From the Pit Comes an Evil" setting an ominous tone for this 1999 chapter titled "Broken Pillars." Andy Kubert's cover work captures an impressive sense of scale, with the monstrous figure dwarfing Cable yet doing nothing to diminish his fierce, coiled intensity. It's a striking setup from Marvel's solo Cable series, with writer Shon Bury and artist Chap Yaep handling the interior of this tension-loaded issue.
