Marvel Comics has announced a new four-issue limited series starring fan-favorite X-Force member Cable.
Written by Fabian Nicieza and illustrated by Scot Eaton, Marvel‘s new Cable series launches in January 2024. As one of many Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X tie-ins, the book sees the time-traveling mutant soldier join the final battle for Krakoa. Of course, Nicieza is no stranger to the eponymous character. He previously penned comics like X-Force and the beloved Cable & Deadpool series.

What to expect from Marvel’s new Cable series
According to Marvel, Cable will “wage his own war against both Orchis and an all-new threat known as the Neocracy” in his new miniseries. “On this pivotal mission, he’ll team up with one of the few people he can trust: himself! It’s the return of Young Cable as both counterparts race to stop a horrible future from coming to fruition.”
An official synopsis for issue #1 reads as follows: “The future must not come to pass! All the signs are here: The Neocracy is coming — and with it comes not only the end of mutantkind, but all of the humankind as well! As if rescuing Young Nate from the ongoing threat of Orchis weren’t enough, can Cable root out this growing threat and decimate it before the Neocracy has a chance to take hold? Is he already too late to change the future?”
“It’s always fun to write Cable and challenge him with a big physical and emotional conflict … Having written him more than anyone else on the planet, it’s also fun to add to that total!” Nicieza said.
“This series finds Nathan Dayspring Askani’son Gesundheit up against the wall because while the lives of the X-world on Krakoa are under attack, Cable has to focus on the next potential ‘big threat,'” the writer continued. “In order to stop the Neocracy before it becomes a revolution of evolution, Cable needs the help (and annoyance) of Young Cable! Indeed, hijinks ensue and Chiclet guns will be fired!”
Cable #1 goes on sale January 17, 2024 from Marvel Comics.
