Cable and X-Force #2

Part of Marvel NOW!'s bold 2013 wave of relaunches, Cable and X-Force #2 drops readers right into the tension with a striking Larroca cover depicting a shirtless, visibly strained Cable — white-haired and wearing his signature eyepiece — gripping something desperately while a massive, unsettling creature looms in the murky background. The image radiates raw physical and psychological pressure, suggesting Cable is pushed to his absolute limits before the team has even fully assembled. Dennis Hopeless's script and Larroca's interior art, colored by Frank D'Armata, promise this series isn't pulling any punches in its second chapter.
