AIPT: Grey Gargoyle in Cable #2 is certainly an unexpected adversary for the Cables. Should we expect any other surprise appearances — or perhaps characters from your past Cable stories — in this mini-series?

Fabian: Yes.

I’ve actually channeled my inner 1990s pretty strongly on this one, and I know artist Bob Quinn has spoken about how much of a blast he had making it even more ’90s than I wrote it. It’s kind of a meditation on the aesthetics of the period that also functions as a high-octane thrill ride on an alien world, with guest appearances by a gaggle of fan-favorite mutants. -- Al Ewing

"Cable was not cancelled. We set out to tell a story with a beginning, middle & end, and not only did we succeed, but Phil's the only artist on the book. YOU'RE WELCOME." - Gerry Duggan

"I always value young heroes because they're inexperienced and can make mistakes. When you look at who Old Man Cable is, you see he's a battle-hardened mutant general. How did he get that way? I think you'll see some of that, and I think we'll surprise some people with the story that we're pulling off."

"You know how I prepare to write Cable? Forget anybody else but me ever wrote him. Except maybe Fabian. (I’ve been to the future, and my Cable is well regarded)" - Gerry Duggan

"They’re the same–just decades apart. Inexperienced heroes are a delight though. Anybody that doesn’t like Cable as a kid, doesn’t deserve to like him when he’s a grizzled vet. The Old Man is who the kid wants to be. Isn’t watching him strive to achieve that fun?" - Gerry Duggan

"Inexperienced heroes are always precious resources. There aren’t enough of them, they make mistakes, they win and lose in unexpected ways. My time on Nova was special for that reason, and there are always so many young mutants. Cable is wonderful to write because he’s not just growing up in the shadows of his parents, but also what he understands he is to become." - Gerry Duggan

"With Cable, I hesitate to promise something that I would be rather be a surprise, but you’re going to get young mutants in love. You’re going to get high adventure, and you’ll get a couple of curveballs which I think will make any Cable fan happy." - Gerry Duggan

'It was a lot of fun to come up with the names for all of these battles. That was a good time. That was me and me and Gerry on a call going, “What should we call this one? Uh, ‘a Contest of Cups.'” So the fact that we just called it “Kitten Killing” is pretty amazing.' - Jordan D. White

Now a LOT about X of Swords has somewhat confused me, but this takes it to the next level.

"I haven't written Deadpool at all for so long now that I feel the atrophy. I've really loved what Skottie [Young], Kelly [Thompson], and their collaborators have done with Deadpool. So, every once in a while I feel the urge to slip back into my red pajamas." - Gerry Duggan

"I know what I think Cable fans desperately want, but it's not what you need. Throughout the story that Phil and I are telling we'll give gifts not to just the fans, but the characters as well, and I think they'll give you a better sense of this young man who is getting to live his best life now. You'll also get to see why Phil [Noto] and I absolutely had to tell this story together." - Gerry Duggan

"Cable's getting to live his best young life. What kind of monsters would X-fans be to deny him this freedom and happiness?" - Gerry Duggan

(Cable #158'd taken place in the past.)

In the time of Apocalypse, the young Nathan was hanging out with friends.

" I saw a full-scan once. "

" Was it the guy who goes bamf and disappears? "

" Nah, it was an old woman with claws in her hands! "

" What about you, Dayspring? "

" Well.. umm.. my dad can shoot lasers out of his eyes! "

They didn't believe him.

( They didn't have any reason to. )

thanekos

(Cable #157'd involved him and Nate Grey.)

It took place shortly after the first iteration of that team'd been formed.

They were in simulated combat against Deadpool (" It's because of the movie, isn't it? ").

They won through teamwork.

The simulation ended.

Another began.

" I am returned, selffriends!

" Did Cable mourn self when self died? "

" No! Nonono. Not Warlock. You're.. you're dead.. "

" This ain't cool. Even for you, Cable! "

Cable said that this wasn't his doing.

As he tried to shut the simulation down, the team fought the apparent Warlock.

( He met them handily. )

thanekos

(Cable #156'd happened after the Messiah War.)

Cable was in his New York safe house when Nate Grey crashed through the roof.

The unconscious youth was hooked up to medical equipment.

He awoke later: " Run! It's coming for you!!! "

It, Cable's techno-organic enemy Metus, arose from the equipment.

Nate leapt at it.

" This thing was coming for you!

" I tried to warn you and failed. "

" You don't deserve a brother. " said Metus, smashing Nate aside.

He advanced towards Cable, tanking shot after shot.

" I was there when you two first met. I hoped you'd end him.

" But you wanted a new friend. Someone to play with.

" Part of you knew I would come.

" All these years.. you haven't learned! You're not allowed! "

" Metus, please listen to- "

Nate blew Metus' head off.

Cable grabbed the staggering boy and timeslid them out of there.

( The remains of Metus receded. )

thanekos

(Cable #155'd happened in the present.)

Cable'd just left Stryfe's bad future with young Hope.

Both of them'd ended up in another bad time, another wasteland.

They walked through it, giving Cable time to recuperate for another timeslide.

Night fell; they met others.

Cable, recognizing danger, tried to back away.

The others advanced; Cable shot one of them.

They grabbed Hope and bushwhacked him.

" We're gonna make this nice and slow. "

" Either you kill her now..

" Or I shoot you both.

" She's a threat to the future. "

" Bishop! " Hope yelled.

" What you got to trade? " asked the one who had Hope.

( Bishop answered. )
