Cable #85

The Fall of Clan Askani" looms large across issue #85, and Michael Ryan's cover pencils capture the stakes in vivid, fire-lit detail — a commanding, caped figure dominates the composition while Cable and a flame-wreathed woman clash against him amid a backdrop of smoke and destruction. The tension radiating from every figure makes this 2000 chapter of Robert Weinberg's run feel genuinely consequential for the Askani legacy. With Michael Ryan on art and a full creative team including Nathan Massengill and Andrew Pepoy on inks and Liquid Graphics handling color, the visual energy here is striking and hard to put down.
