X-Force Epic Collection #2

In the past, the Six Pack faces off against Stryfe during a high-stakes mission. In the present, Cable intercepts the MLF as they steal ancient artifacts on Stryfe’s orders, leading to a tense confrontation. When Bridge sends Kane to bring Cable in, the revelation that Kane believes Cable and Stryfe are the same person throws a chilling twist into the mission.

In *Cable - Blood and Metal [Part 2]*, the past echoes with betrayal as Cable makes a desperate move against Stryfe, testing the loyalty of the Six Pack. In the present, the weight of that choice collides with a new crisis—Cable must choose between vengeance and saving Kane, even if it means surrendering to the enemy. And in the future, Kane awakens in a world shaped by Cable’s past decisions, where every choice still echoes.

In "Overture [X-Cutioner's Song Part 1]," chaos erupts when the Horsemen launch a brutal assault on the X-Men, culminating in a shocking act of violence: a man who looks exactly like Cable coldly executes Professor X during a speech in Central Park. Amid the fallout, James and Anita find themselves caught in a storm of betrayal and bloodshed, as the line between ally and enemy blurs in the wake of the attack.

In "Tough Love [X-Cutioner's Song Part 2]," the aftermath of Xavier’s shooting sends X-Force racing to track down Cable, leading to a brutal clash with X-Factor. As tensions escalate, the Horsemen strike, seizing Scott and Jean in a move that threatens to unravel the team’s fragile unity.

In "Fingers on the Trigger [X-Cutioner's Song Part 3]," Xavier’s life hangs in the balance as the techno-organic virus consumes him. With Scott and Jean captured, Mr. Sinister makes a dangerous deal for genetic material that could change everything. As Apocalypse stirs from his slumber, Cable arrives from the future—only to be branded a murderer after being linked to Xavier’s shooting. The X-Men and X-Factor pursue X-Force, but soon find themselves caught in a deadly game where the hunters have become the hunted.

In "Jacklighting [X-Cutioner's Song Part 4]," X-Force stands at a breaking point—overwhelmed by a fractured X-Men and X-Factor, they face surrender as the stakes rise. With Stryfe holding Jean and Scott captive and the Horsemen clashing with the remaining X-Men, Cable prepares for a final, desperate stand against Mr. Sinister’s growing influence.

In "Familiar Refrain [X-Cutioner's Song Part 5]," the X-Men are split—half chasing Cable and Stryfe across fractured timelines, the other half overwhelmed by Apocalypse’s brutal assault. Cable, cornered and desperate, finds unexpected allies in Wolverine and Bishop at the secretive Department K in Canada, where old wounds and new threats collide.
