Cable Gathers Newer New Mutants For Marvel Legacy With Ed Brisson And Jon Malin

Published Wed, 12 Jul 2017 15:29:57 -0500

James Robinson and Carlos Pacheco/Yildiray Cinar are out (at least for the first arc), and Ed Brisson and Jon Malin are in!

Cable is putting the band back together again. Or maybe he's putting it back together previously. Who knows? This time travel stuff is really confusing.

What we do know is that Marvel is revealing the details and creative teams for their Marvel Legacy titles one by one via EXCLUSIVE interviews with their media partners. Today's lucky website is Previews World, and their latest glorified press release talks Cable, which sees its old creative team ousted in favor of the industry-changing new creative team of Ed Brisson and Jon Malin.

The storyling picking up in the legacy-numbered Cable #150 will see Cable forming a new team of New Mutants, a New New Mutants if you will, to combat a mutant-killing threat that he can't handle on his own.

Brisson explains the concept:

In this arc, Cable only knows that someone has leapt to the past and killed a mutant in New Orleans. As he peels back the layers of the case, he starts to understand the larger picture of what he's against and begins to recruit members based on what he needs to accomplish. The team, consisting of Longshot, Shatterstar, Doop, X-23, Blink and Armor each provide a very important skillset needed to find this killer and stop him or her. You take one of them out of the equation and the mission is doomed.

One of the interesting things in writing this is that we've set it in the past, which allows Cable to bring in members who he's worked with 10, 20, 50 years into the future. He knows that they're capable of things that they may not even be aware of.

THE NEWER MUTANTS!
The time-traveling mutant known as Cable has made it his one-man mission to preserve all of time itself. But when a disturbance in the timestream sends Cable back to the recent past, he'll find a mutant killer he won't be able to handle alone. Cable's led teams of X-Men before and he'll have to turn to some old allies and new friends to stop this deadly threat. Get ready for the newer New Mutants!

Look for it in the August Marvel PREVIEWS!
