Cable #9

Phil Noto's cover for this 2021 Marvel series captures a surprisingly tender moment: young Cable and a blonde companion share a tropical drink through two straws, leaning close across a table in what feels like a stolen night out. Looming behind them in the crowd is a large, blue-tinted figure with arms crossed — a watchful presence that hints the evening may be more complicated than it looks. Gerry Duggan's story, titled "Bargaining," promises some interesting stakes beneath that deceptively breezy scene.
