Start 2025 off with a bang—and a blast from the future—with Cable: Love and Chrome #1! The time-jumping, gun-toting son of Cyclops is back in action, ready to conquer the new year in his signature explosive style. Fans loved him in Deadpool 2, and now Cable returns with a fresh mission in this electrifying new series.

Crafted by writer David Pepose and brought to life by the dynamic pencils of Mike Henderson, with a stunning cover by Ian Churchill, this issue promises to be everything fans have been craving. The story kicks off with Cable battling the enigmatic Cicada in a distant future, only to find himself thrown into another conflict—a war at Salvation Bay, where resistance fighters infected with the same techno-organic virus as Cable fight for their freedom. As the stakes rise, Cable does what he does best: unleashing his one-man-army fury. But Cicada’s shadowy plans for Cable loom large, and the tension is palpable.

Pepose delivers a thrilling, sci-fi-infused reintroduction to one of Marvel’s most iconic mutants. This is the Cable we’ve been waiting for—hardened, relentless, and fighting against all odds. Henderson’s artwork is a perfect match, packing each page with high-octane battle sequences, intricate designs, and raw emotion. Together, the creative team captures the grit and grandeur of Cable’s world with precision and heart.

Cable: Love and Chrome sets the stage for an epic saga, and it’s clear this creative team is poised to deliver something truly remarkable. If you’re a fan of Cable—or just love a good sci-fi brawl—don’t miss this issue. The Summers family legacy continues, and it’s one heck of a ride.
