Cable and Hope are reunited! It was only a couple of years ago that Nathan and his young ward, the prophesied savior of the mutant race, were fleeing from the murderous Bishop across a barren future wasteland. But now Bishop isn't the only one hell-bent on hunting down the daddy/daughter duo - as a strange techno-organic creature wants them dead! As fear consumes Cable, can he fend off both Bishop and a bloodthirsty monster - or will Hope be lost? And what is the creature's connection to Cable? All this, plus a return to the Hellfire Hunt -and a "reunion" with Cable's Age of Apocalypse half-brother, X-Man!
