First of all, what an awesome cover by Michael Turner. Unfortunately I could only find a picture of it on the Mile HighComics website. But props to them for having it available. And since I borrowed it from them, it's only fair to tell you that if you're looking for anything, back issue wise, they are definitely the place to go to. It's at www.Milehighcomics.com , and the way their website is laid out, and the selection they have, it's just fantastic. I use them as a source to judge my purchase prices when I'm looking for stuff on E-Bay too. Anyways, we finally get to see Cable in the Ultimate Universe. But even with that, there is just so much stuff going on in this book. We're still dealing with Jean's "psychic break", after her run in with the Professor and Lilandra. Then we have the Professor's interactions with Fury. Much more so than we've seen in our version of the X-Men. Bobby is still trying to get close to Rogue. Good luck with that, bub. We have the Kitty/Peter relationship, which is really just starting since she just got done with the other Kitty / Peter (Spider-man) relationship. Also there's still sparks flying between Ororo and Logan. Also there's the whole Nightcrawler thing. He seems to be having flashbacks, maybe from his Weapon X days, maybe from the war. Anyways the Prof. is trying to help him, and that's when Cable pops in. Literally. He take down everybody, except for Wolverine. But then when they are fighting, he pops out his claws. Cable I mean. Cable??? Yep, he's got Wolverine's claws too. So obviously this Cable is different than our Cable, even though he looks exactly the same, weapons and bullets and everything. But the final splash page is a picture of him with his claws drawn. And Wolverine confused about the 3 slash marks across his chest. Snikt!!Awesome book. I can't believe they've made it to issue 75 already. If this isn't in your pulls, it should be!!
