Avengers: X-Sanction #1 Preview

With the upcoming return of Cable in Avengers: X-Sanction #1 in December, Marvel has released a preview of the comics with the cover and four pages.

Cable returns to the Marvel Universe, but not for Hope or anything to do with the X-Men. Instead he has a new target - The Avengers. Nothing is known on why Cable would attack such iconic heroes, but whatever reason it is must be a good one.

By the looks of it, I think this is going to be a series. The style reminds me of an old comic, but without the walls of text; I haven't seen Cap riding a motorcycle in awhile nor have I seen Radioactive Man many issues ago in Thunderbolts. And of course, I want to know why Cable is attacking the Avengers, his reasons sure be a good one; they sure do have it tough with the Revengers and Annihilators going against them, now they have to worry about Cable.

Cable's Return In X-Sanction

Yesterday, Marvel released an image relating to the Avengers. It has the Avengers logo with a giant red cross-hair hovering over it with "December 2011" under it.

And today, Marvel has allowed Arune Singh, Tom Brevoort, Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness to speak about the meaning behind the image.

If you can remember back to San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel released an image with a certain X-Men character, it was actually more of a shining red eye and a metallic arm. The image in question was the teaser image for, what was, the upcoming Cable Reborn "Next Big Thing".

Cable will be returning this December to kick ass with extremely over-sized guns no mutant from this time can hold. But he's not going to be fighting any bad guys, it seems like he's going straight for the heroes, specifically the Avengers.

This new story line changed from Cable Reborn to X-Sanction. Other than the title and who Cable will be going against, nothing much was revealed; Marvel is, of course, keeping their mouth shut on this one. It's going to be an interesting event though, the Avengers and Mutant kind don't interact very much except for Wolverine. So seeing Cable go against Wolverine and his fellow Avengers is going to be a nice treat.

If you want to find out more, Comic Book Resources has a nice detailed article of Cable's return.
