Cable #4
In "War Baby Chapter Four," Cable faces a harrowing future where mutants are nearly extinct, and his old student Cannonball reveals the grim truth of what became of the last of his kind. As the two race against Bishop to protect a fragile mutant infant, the stakes rise in a desperate bid for survival. Written by Duane Swierczynski and brought to life with striking art by Ariel Olivetti—pencils, inks, and colors all by the same hand—this issue delivers a tense, emotionally charged chapter in a story where hope is as rare as the mutants themselves. The cover by Ariel Olivetti captures the weight of that moment in stark, haunting detail.
