Suite aux commentaires de l’X-editor Tom Brevoort à propos de Cable & Bishop (temporairement mis de côté en raison d’un passif jugé trop compliqué en terme de continuité), les fans du duo craignaient de devoir ronger leur frein pour un bon bout de temps. Finalement, il n’en est rien puisque suite au one-shot Timeslide de la fin d’année (justement centré sur ce duo de voyageurs temporels), Cable va bénéficier d’une nouvelle mini-série prévue pour début 2025.
Les premiers visuels (Cable à la sauce Fury Road ?) :
He’s been a soldier. An X-Man. A protector of the timestream. But even from his earliest days, the mutant known as Cable has been living on borrowed time, waging a lonely war against the ravages of the Techno-Organic Virus.
Yet when a high-stakes mission in the future goes catastrophically awry, Cable is left stranded in the dystopian city of Salvation Bay — and will find himself caught in the midst of a civil war that will change his life forever

Nathan finds himself caught amid a civil war that will change his life forever in Cable: Love and Chrome #1 arrives on shelves & digital platforms on Wednesday, January 1, 2025, from Marvel Comics
Ambition limitée mais réussie pour cette mini-série qui fleure bon les années 90, mais aborde efficacement une saga de Cable avec bagarre dans le futur et virus techno-organique. On voit ainsi Cable déjà dans un futur éloigné, où il s’en prend à une secte vénérant Ragnarok qui veut le sacrifier sur un véhicule basé sur une tête de Sentinelle (oui, Mad Max est convoqué), mais il les piège et s’en débarrasse. Il veut empêcher une catastrophe nucléaire, mais est gêné par le mystérieux Cicada, qui lui en veut personnellement et le blesse grièvement. Cable téléporte finalement la bombe, se perd dans le Flux Temporel et s’éveille dans un hôpital, dans un autre futur… avec près de lui la Commandante Avery Ryder, cheffe d’une communauté de gens contaminés par un virus techno-organique aussi, parqués par une élite qui veut désormais les tuer par principe. Cable apprécie cette Commandante badass et sympathique, il l’aide lors d’une percée ennemie, manque de périr mais gagne en détournant le canon d’un tank… et décide de rester, parce qu’Avery lui plaît ! Mais Cicada voit ça de loin, et entend se venger de « tout » ce que Cable lui a fait…
C’est bien pour ce que c’est, oui, et c’est d’autant si bien que la saga ne veut pas aller au-delà d’une intrigue bourrine mais fun et cadrée. David Pepose gère bien l’ensemble, avec un Cable bien écrit, badass comme il faut, mais pas invincible. Le clin d’oeil Mad Max est présent mais pas trop lourd, c’est bien, et j’apprécie cette Avery elle aussi badass, mais sans que ça soit abusif. Cicada est un super-vilain jusque-là basique, au look pauvre, mais la lecture est plaisante, et le dessin brut et un peu gras de Mike Henderson fonctionne bien à ce bourrinage global.
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?

Can Cable and Avery survive against the mutated horrors of the Prime Conclave in Cable: Love and Chrome #2 on shelves & digital platforms on February 12, 2025, from Marvel Comics
Basique mais sympathique. David Pepose mène doucement sa saga où Cable a fui le présent et la mort de Hope, pour courir les conflits futuristes. Il se pose auprès de la commandante Avery Ryder, qui lutte contre le Prime Conclave mais surtout a elle aussi un virus techno-organique. Ils se lient, s’entraident, flirtent et se mettent ensemble. Une mission tourne mal, Avery refuse de prendre soin d’elle, et finalement Cable donne beaucoup mais semble périr sous les attaques et son virus.
C’est correct, bien que limité. David Pepose livre un scénario basique mais sympathique, qui joue bien le bourrin et la romance guerrière. Ça se parcourt sans difficulté, avec les dessins nerveux et corrects de Mike Henderson, mais ça ne reste pas en mémoire.
In the slums of Salvation Bay, a hero fights for their life as the Techno-Organic virus has claimed its latest victim. Cable and Resistance leader Avery Ryder had found comfort in each other’s arms as they faced the virus together — but is that same bond strong enough to cheat death itself?
And even if Cable and Avery manage to survive their shared affliction, will they be able to pull off a suicide mission in the heart of the corrupt Prime Conclave’s headquarters? Only one thing’s for certain —
