Cable #8
In "Waiting for the End of the World Chapter Two: Invasion, U.S.A.," Cable fights to protect the hidden city of New Liberty from alien invaders masquerading as U.S. soldiers, while in the present, the X-Men press their interrogation of Bishop, desperate to learn the truth behind his cryptic warnings. Written by Duane Swierczynski and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Ariel Olivetti—pencils, inks, and colors all by the same hand—this issue blends high-stakes sci-fi tension with the grim urgency of a fractured team. The cover by Olivetti captures the moment’s dread with sharp, unsettling precision.
