Cable and the romantic lead of his current miniseries, Avery Ryder, make a cute couple. They’re both soldiers, they both have the technoorganic virus, they both have big, metal arms and cool weapons and say dry, cool, action-hero-y things.
I hope these two kids make it, but given writer David Pepose’s elevator pitch for the book is Mad Max meets The Fault in Our Stars, it’s probably not meant to be. Still, I hope they shoot a lot of evil fascists together on the way out.
Check out our exclusive preview of Cable: Love & Chrome #2, out next week, and keep scrolling for the basic deets.

A HERO SHALL FALL!
For as long as he could remember, Cable thought he was alone in his struggles against the Techno-Organic virus. That is…until now. Stranded in the dystopian timeline of Salvation Bay, Cable now finds himself fighting to protect an entire city infected with the same disease – but as he battles side by side with Resistance leader Avery Ryder, Cable’s new cause will become personal in ways not even he could expect. With their own mortality staring them in the face, can Cable and Avery survive against the mutated horrors of the Prime Conclave? Or will these star-crossed soldiers discover that their borrowed time has just run out?
