scans_dailyComicBookResources has the live interview with Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness about the upcoming Avengers storyline.
One shot, one kill.
From the article:
As to how Cable's mission relates to the Avengers, Loeb said he "doesn't want to give away too much," but "how Cable survived Messiah Complex and Second Coming—and I do consider those one big arc—if there had been even a hint that the Avengers had something to do with Hope's future, he would... do something too them." Loeb was very cautious, but Brevoort was happy to be slightly more forthcoming with "X-Sanction" details.
Brevoort said the event will put Cable in conflict with characters readers aren't used to seeing him with. "The definition of Cable as a father out to protect his daughter by any means necessary gives the character a weight and heft you can relate to on a very human level." There are also "some larger situations going on" for both Nate and the Avengers.

Date: 2011-09-13 08:27 pm (UTC)"I always saw Cable as the Captain America of the X-Men universe," Loeb said, a soldier out of his own time striving to help people.
"There are also real comparisons with Tony Stark, Iron Man.
Cable is, Loeb confirmed, "a total badass."
FFS, Loeb. Also, X-Sanction is a stupid name.

Date: 2011-09-13 08:40 pm (UTC)Yes, but if you're only characterization is "total badass" then you're DOING IT WRONG.
BY MURDERING THEM!!! BREAK THE TOYS!!! WHEE!!!
. . .
Not really. It's not like Tony's heart gets further impaled the more he uses his suit.
. . . or . . . his mutant powers . . . . Shut it, Loeb.
Now, the thing is, the "Cap of the X-Men" has a little bit of merit. But, that has rarely, if ever, really been explored, the "man out of his own time" thing, even though "his own time" isn't even really his own. But that would require a better writer than you, Loeb. If this was just about ANY other writer at Marvel I'd have a little hope. Fabian Nicieza is the only guy I actually trust with Cable, now, though.

Date: 2011-09-13 09:01 pm (UTC)My major problem with this picture? (Well, among the many...)
Why are the bulletholes in Cap's back? Like that would ever happen.
