Marvel Reveals 'Avengers: X-Sanction' #1 Cover

caps face in the first one looks a bit off or goofy but I love the artstyle and look of the cover.I think the "wanted" cover is my favourite out of them all it looks very badass!

Does anyone know if this is going to be a new series or an event

- Continuing Marvel's trend of less as less meaningless comic deaths we have Cable back (unless it turns out to be Stryfe?)

- If it is a one on one fight Cable wins in about 10 seconds unless his powers are burnt out from the event that killed him. His power level has varied wildly but in any powered form he wins, its just how long it takes. I'm assuming there is going to be more substance to the story than just a Cap Vs Cable fight.

- I wonder if his return is because of the Avengers consideration of killing off Wanda? Cable would have to think that Hope could be on a potential hit list as well considering both are vastly powerful and the risk of loss of control is real.

I have been waiting for this one

Has Cable always had that "X" logo scar on his shoulder?

I don't think so... not sure though.

I like that last cover though.

interesting match up, but the art looks cheesy

Are you drunk? It's Ed McGuiness, his pen can do no wrong

Thank God Cable has returned! This time around bring back all his powers like when he was the most powerful hero. It was terrible when they started stripping away his powers. He deserves to have it them back! Develop him properly then work on a movie which could be awesome! Welcome back Nathan!!!

I like the art work, except for Cap's face. He looks like he wants to kiss Cable.

or like they both want to lead the dance... and cap somehow looked like he was counting the steps.

do they really have to be fighting under the starry night sky and a crescent moon?

Forgive my inarticulate expression but... WTF is this?

I've said this before but there are a lot of arbitrary rules when it comes to when characters should come back. The Scarlet Witch, who's been around twice as long as Cable and was a very important Avengers had to make scarce for years same with Jean Grey and Magneto. But these clowns like Cable we simply can't do without for more than a few months?

I'll only tune in if the story somehow involves the Phoenix but given that Hope is a character who is the living embodiment of Marvel frustratingly contrived hints at bringing Jean back I'm still reluctant.

That had my dying laughing. Lumping Cable in a group of clowns that absolutely mustn't be out of comics for more than a few months. Who else is in this group, might I ask? Seems like the list would include a bunch of Extreme 90s relics.

more stuff about hope eh? -__-

Still not sure if I'm going to get this. Otherwise... kick his *** Cap!

Looks like Cable stole Marcus Fenix's body armour.

um, Marvel, cable worked closely with captain america and some others during civil war. he knows how to play with these folks. you guys are now throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Is this the Official Cover, or is a Variant Cover...???

OHHHH MYYYY GODDDDD!!! If Hope is involved then this TOTALLY has something to do with the new Point One event and the Phoenix's "It's Coming" arrival!

Loebforce Cable...attack!

Maybe Cap has the same idea as Bishop. Maybe they see her as some kind of massive threat which will have a big impact on the world later on. And with the teaser of the Phoenix for Marvels big event it could easily be Hope will play apart in that.

Hell, I used to enjoy Ed Mcguinness, but lately (when I say lately, I mean any title that he has worked on after Hulk) his over the top caricature style has really annoyed me. There's a reason he was placed on Hulk and Superman/Batman....they rarely require any detail on their costume designs besides their bulging muscles. It' probably why the "Batmobile" was never shown during his run on Batman/Superman. Jeph Loeb has been given too much exposure since Marvel swapped David Finch for him and Mcguinness. Instead, Marvel should employ Jeff Parker as the writer for this series. His has been completely under used, even though Thunderbolts is only second to X-force in terms of Marvel's quality books. As for artists, I suggest: Humberto Ramos, Kev Walker, Clayton Crain or Gabriele Dell'otto

When did Cable get kickpads/shinguards?

i hope cap wins

What does cap have to do with hope? hmm might pick this up

Kinda looks like Bucky Cap costume but whats wrong with his face o.o

Cable is b@d@$$. Period.

It's a bit too soon after Second Coming for him to be returning, from the grave no less.

See, that's the thing, everyone says Cable died in Second Coming, but if you look at the image, you could argue that all you really saw was his arm being blown off. I reckon he's never actually been dead, just gravely wounded and stranded in the future for a while. Still, agree it's too soon for him to return. And I hate McGuiness's artwork. Would've been cool if the series had been written by Remender or Kyle & Yost or Brubaker with more gritty/realistic artwork, say Maleev or Leinel Francis Yu or the dude currently doing Uncanny X-Force whose name I forget. At least some sort of team with X-perience (sorry, couldn't help myself).

the only thing I don't like is when Captain America is drawn without his chain mail top...it just doesn't look right

Tiny mouths.

This would be interesting if it weren't for Loeb writing it

Laame.

Jeph Loeb? Anticipate garbage!

You read my mind!

I always thought Cable would make a cool Avenger!

Cap looks he is scared of the gun lol

It's a bit too soon after Second Coming for him to be returning, from the grave no less.

Anyone thinking Cap is trying to kiss Cable in the first image?

Takes two to tango, you eyeballing me son? *eye explodes* Damn, Cable almost exploded right into Cap's face, Cap notices Cable's huge weapon with opened eye awe, and what the hell does Cable have in his thigh pouch? A PS3? 

Jeph Loeb? Anticipate garbage!

This time travel crap pisses me off, everytime Cable time slips he creates a new reality where he has knowledge of what happen before... so this could be anyone of those Cables of any reality, I'd guess he knew he die, and then returned to help Hope for whatever reason! what a stupid plot...

the ONLY X-TITILE THAT NEEDS TO EXIST IS UNCANNY X-FORCE that is FINAL!

Don;t care much for Avengers and the bunch of street levelers such as Cap. Go Cable! Put a bullet back in his head!

@allpro said:

Really cheesy!

@jordama: Not to likely as the reason he is supposed to be attacking the Avengers to because of their supposed threat to Hope, where Cable is being characterized as like a father willing to do anything to protect his daughter. So it does look to be the same Cable that died in Second Coming.

I don't think I'll get this, but I will be interested in reading how they are going to explain how he returned from shattering into tiny pieces apart from his techno-organic arm.

Wonder why they bothered killing him in the first place given he barely died, and is returning already, oh well.

@zombiejesusii:

I'm not to crazy about the title X-sanction ... but then again i suppose Marvel is running out of X-something titles.

@illmatic06:

um didnt u say in the review for the incredible hulk #1 that you will miss the other hulks from the book

@illmatic06:

HEY CARNAGE IS WELL ABOVE LOEB! specialy after the supurb recent mini series where he returned

Jeph Loeb almost destroyed the Ultimate Universe with Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum. He created the notion of a 1000 hulks. He will mess around a create a alternate future where Kang and Apocalypse are gay lovers that rule the future. Then he may randomly throw characters like Carnage and Rom. Not a Loeb fan.

Cable from before he joined the X-Men would not know who Hope is. Not much faith that this will be any good, Loeb lost me with that crap that was Ultimatum plus McGuinness art has grown old too.

crosses fingers this is cable from before he joined the x-men in the 90's
