cover by michael ryan. robert weinberg/michael ryan. X-MEN: REVOLUTION! A bold new era for the X-Men begins! His entire life was dedicated to a single purpose: to prevent humanity's destruction at the hands of Apocalypse. He trained and bled to prepare for this sacrifice. But in the end, someone else gave their life to stop the High Lord. Now, six months have passed for Cable and the Children of the Atom, and much has changed. Nathan Summers, now more than ever, is a man out of time, a stranger in a strange land, cut off from everything he believes in. But his destiny is far from complete. Has he really joined the X-Men? Who is circling in for the kill? What are the Undying and the mysterious Norns? And what does it all have to do with the Askani'son?! ? THE CREATORS: This jump-on issue features the debut of the new ongoing creative team of penciler Michael Ryan (CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS II, HEROES REBORN: ASHEMA) and writer Robert Weinberg. Weinberg is the Bram Stoker and World Fantasy Award-winning author of 15 novels (including the Masquerade of the Red Death trilogy) and nearly 24 short stories in the horror, science fiction and suspense genres. He has served two terms as Vice-President of the Horror Writers of America and has also tought "Writing Thriller Fiction" for Columbia College. He currently serves as a story consultant for Miramax Pictures. Weinberg's thoughts on Cable: "More than anything else, Cable personifies one of the basic themes of the Marvel Universe: With great power comes great responsibility. If any statement defines a hero, that's it. Other writers who've chronicled his adventures have put him through pretty tough times. I plan to continue that tradition. I'm looking to keep Cable busy, using not only his mutant powers, but also his intelligence. He's been stretched to the limit in the past. I intend on pushing him further than he's ever been before. And then pushing him harder. A lot harder." ? THE FORMAT: 32 pages, with ads. ? MARVEL MEMO: A variant cover of this issue will ship in a 1:4 ratio based upon initial orders. The logo treatment of the variant covers will be designed as a matching X- Men: Revolution! set. Cover price $1.99.
