Cable and X-Force #5

Part of Marvel NOW!'s bold 2013 reinvention, Cable and X-Force #5 delivers a striking cover from Salvador Larroca and colorist Frank D'Armata bathed in a warm golden-orange sunset. A woman in a sleek black-and-yellow X-uniform stands confidently, gun raised, while a heavily armored figure kneels nearby with his own weapon trained outward — the tension between the two figures radiating a sense of uneasy alliance. Dennis Hopeless's series continues to push these characters into morally complex territory, and this cover sets that mood perfectly.
