About the series
A one-shot preview from 2011, this Marvel issue bridges the gap between the end of the X-Men's "Second Coming" storyline and the launch of the "Uncanny X-Force" event "The Dark Angel Saga," while also setting the stage for the "Avengers: X-Sanction" miniseries. Written by Jeph Loeb with art by Ed McGuinness, it features Cable returning from the future with a grim mission targeting the Avengers. Though a single issue, it serves as a crucial narrative link, re-establishing Cable's dire stakes and paving the way for the larger "Avengers vs. X-Men" conflict.
