As fear consumes Cable, can he fend off both Bishop and a bloodthirsty monster - or will Hope be lost? And what is the creature's connection to Cable? Then, Nathan resumes the Hellfire Hunt as his Age of Apocalypse half-brother, X-Man, returns! But is the world ready for an original X-Force revival? Just ask Cannonball, Domino, Feral, Boom-Boom and Shatterstar! Plus: A journey back to Cable's childhood with Redd and Slym
