PERSONAL COMMENTS:
Now this one I remember fondly. I can honestly say the last time I read this was when I first purchased this one but it was the cover that hooked me after the dreaded previous issue. Something about adding two of my favorite characters at the time simply to one cover where they are about to go toe to toe with one another truly captivated me. I remember both in the very end of the comic almost stalking one another and finally when they come face to face Cable was the only one of the two that seemed to know each other so well. It was at this point I really understood the whole time displacement of the character and how he may have fond memories of some it certainly wouldn’t help him in there past before they meet such as in this case.
Kind of an odd thing I read not too long ago. Apparently Cable was originally being thought of as a future style of Wolverine which was eventually used in the Ultimate Comics X-Men series where he needed to train Xavier for a future battle and once he was trained and Apocalypse was defeated that Cable ceased to exist. Cool idea and I wonder how it would have played out if Lousie Simonson had wrote him that way. I guess I would have had a whole different favorite character then…
Big thing now though in looking back. While I may not have wanted this one in the past, it was one that I had to truly jump at the chance to own for this particular Set. In all of my searching this has been the only graded copy that I have been able to track down in over a year.
PERSONAL FAVORITE LINE(S):
I’ll find one, give me some time to read this one first…
NOW FOR THE BORING STUFF
Published: September 1990
KEY ISSUE: The first meeting between Wolverine and Cable as far as our time line is concerned. It is later showed that they did know one another in the Guts and Glory story line which accounts for why Cable knew Wolverine and reacted the way he did at the end but Wolverine didn’t know Cable.

SO HOW MANY ARE THEIR K???
It’s funny how the change of a writer, and some artist’s, along with the addition of Wolverine and Cable on the cover can increase both sales and graded copies. How the previous issue had only 24 this issue almost quadrupled it. Coming in with a total of 91 total graded, there are currently 32 holding the top spot grade of 9.8, and of those 6 which are currently 9.8SS.
ANY PLANS FOR THIS ONE???
Yes and actually soon. This was one of the four that are currently being sent to fellow boardie and facilitator Glynn which will accompany him to Alamo City Comic Con to be signed and squished into either remaining a 9.8 or hopefully going up to a 9.9.
DID YOU MEET YOUR GOAL???
No but this one is well on its way. With it currently in the USPS system and enroute to Glynn in Florida it should only be a month until its signed and a few more after till it returns.
*Edit* Donesky... yes this one is complete and currently boasts Rob Liefeld's signature in all its glory. This was one of the first Signature Series books from this group that I had done.
SO HOW DID YOU GET THIS ONE???
This one was purchased in a Set of four from a fellow boardie when purchasing my two grails in this Set, New Mutants #87 and New Mutants #98 along with the first X-Force appearance with #100.
MY TYPE OF SUMMARY:
Not just yet but it is currently being downloaded onto my ipad. I do know this was Cable and Wolverines first timeline confrontation but aside from I think three other first appearances from random other Asian bad guys I can’t for the life of me remember the rest of the story….
