X-Force and Cable '95

In the mid-90s, Marvel unleashed this one-shot special, pairing the gritty mutant mercenary Cable with his burgeoning team, X-Force, for a standalone adventure. Written by Jeph Loeb with art from Matt Ryan and Rurik Tyler, the issue captures the era's bombastic, guns-blazing tone while exploring the dynamic between the time-displaced soldier and his squad. It's a snapshot of the decade's X-Men corner, offering a self-contained dose of action for fans of the team's more militaristic edge.
