Cable #5
In "War Baby Chapter Five," Cable pushes past exhaustion, wielding Cannonball’s abandoned gear and the X-Men’s last Blackbird to take on Bishop in a desperate bid to protect the future. With Bishop defeated, Cable makes a bold leap—85 years forward—to ensure the safety of a vulnerable mutant child, racing against time and fate. Written by Duane Swierczynski and brought to life by Ariel Olivetti (pencils, inks, colors), with lettering by Virtual Calligraphy and Joe Caramagna, the cover by Olivetti captures the weight of that final, pivotal moment.
