Cable Classic 1 (New Mutants 87, Blood & Metal 1-2, Cable 1-4; w Louise Simonson, Fabian Nicieza; a Rob Liefeld, John Romita Jr., Art Thibert, Ron Lim, Paul Smith, Brandon Peterson, Kerry Gammil, Ian Churchhill, Paul Ryan, Jim Reddington, Bill Wylie, Scott Koblish). [From Marvel Comics: It was 1990, the dawn of the most action-packed decade in comic-book history, and one man -- one time-traveling gun-toting mutant cyborg mercenary -- was there to lead the way! Opening with a one-man assault on the Mutant Liberation Front, Cable finds himself haunted by the failures of both past and future (not necessarily in that order), converging on him at once in the form of his doppelganger Stryfe! The secrets of the Six Pack and the quest of the Clan Chosen revealed! Featuring the X-Men, the New Mutants and the Warriors Three from THOR!] 3/5/08 
1 The Shining Path (97-100; w David Tischman; a Igor Kordey).
[From Marvel Comics: The mutant freedom fighter called Cable becomes
embroiled in a conflict with terrorists attempting to topple the fragile
government of Peru, while dealing with a flare-up of the techno-organic
virus that's plagued him since childhood.] 
2 The End (101-107; w David Tischman, Darko Macan; a Igor Kordey,
Mike Huddleston). [From Marvel Comics: Macedonians
plan to "cleanse" their Albanian ethnic rivals from their shared
country. Enter Cable, a freedom fighter with no allegiances and a powerful
philosophy of peace, and who's not afraid to back it up with cold bullets.]
1 If Looks Could Kill (1-6; w Fabian Nicieza; a Mark Brooks, Patrick
Zircher). [From Marvel Comics: Wade Wilson and Nathan
Summers—Marvel’s mightiest mutant mercs—are back, and this
time they're stuck with each other! Can two grown men armed to the teeth
with deadly genetic weaponry live together without driving each other crazy?!
Action, adventure, black humor, black-ops, face-changing viruses, gratuitous
France-bashing and lots of gunfire mark the return of two of Marvel’s
fan-favorite anti-heroes!] 
2 The Burnt Offering (7-12; w Fabian Nicieza; a Patrick Zircher).
[From Marvel Comics: A floating city promises hope for humans and
mutants alike! But if Cable plans to be Earth's Savior, will Deadpool accept
the role of Judas? Marvel Universe guest stars! Intrigue! Adventure! Big
flying fists and loose-lips fun! Plus: The traumatic, tragic and tantric
events of "The Burnt-Offering" have left Cable... well, "regurgitated"
comes close to summing it up — now Deadpool has to save the day! Even
if it means confronting his fear of very BIG-headed villains! And the challenge
of finding someone who can fix technology from thousands of years in the
future. Someone who fixes things. Mmm...who is the best fixer in the Marvel
Universe? If that guest star isn't much of a surprise, we guarantee Deadpool
fans will drool when we reveal the BIG head... er.... uh… villain trying
to stop him!] 
3 The Human Race (13-18; w Fabian Nicieza; a Patrick Zircher). [From Marvel Comics: With Cable recuperating on his island haven of Providence, who else can investigate when there is "A Murder in Paradise?" You know who. Say it. Go ahead. Picture it. Deadpool as a detective. Interrogating the most brilliant pacifists on Earth. Plus: Deadpool is brainwashed by the mysterious group known as the Black Box to become a mindless assassin. So Deadpool does what comes naturally to him -- the opposite of what's expected. But hey, where's Cable? And what are Cannonball and Siryn doing in the book.] 
4 Bosom Buddies (19-24; w Fabian Nicieza; a Patrick
Zircher). [From Marvel Comics: Deadpool FINALLY gets hired for a job! There’s a missing hard drive, and whoever gets it could very well own the world! Naturally, our Merc With a Mouth is going to find it first, right? Well...only if he can outwit that superspy known as the CAT, and slide by the undulating charms of three gorgeous and deadly snake chicks. That’s right: Black Mamba, Asp and Diamondback are back in business as the B.A.D. Girls! And what’s Cable doing during all of this...? Well, keeping an eye on Deadpool, since whoever owns the hard drive could very well own the world! (Didn’t you read that the first time?!)] Book of the Week 3/8/06: Both Cable and Deadpool came along during the period I was out of comics, and both were emblematic of what kept me away. But when I recently saw a cheap used copy of the first volume of this series, I picked it up—and was surprised to enjoy it immensely. Cable's vast backstory is only lightly touched upon, and Deadpool's goofiness is contained within actual storylines. And the bizarre relationship between the two is quite interesting. This volume is mostly a heist caper, with seemingly half the planet assigned either to steal or protect a mysterious box (Luke Cage and Power Fist get involved, along with a host of other characters I assume are original, including the B.A.D. Girls). Chaos, obviously, ensues. And then the volume wraps up with a Deadpool/Spider-Man team-up. OK, I'm hooked. 
5 Living Legends (25-29; w Fabian Nicieza; a Patrick Zircher, Lan Medina). [From Marvel Comics: Our greed for knowledge recreated his telepathy. Our quest to confine him recreated his telekinesis. He has forged a paradise haven that threatens to destabilize countless governments and religions. One man wants to find out what Cable's intentions are before it's too late. Guest-starring Captain America! Plus: Cable sees the signs -- omens and portents -- characters gathering, moving across the board like chess pieces...can Apocalypse be resurrected? Can Cable and Deadpool stop it in time? And most surprising of all...what if one of them doesn't want it to be stopped? And finally, Domino is hired to stop Deadpool's activities in the Central European country of Rumekistan, only to learn he plans to assassinate the country's imposed ruler, the international terrorist named Flag-Smasher. Should she stop him? Will her decision be influenced when she finds out DP was given his mission by...Cable?!] 
6 Paved with Good Intentions (30-36; w Fabian Nicieza; a Staz Johnson, Reilly Brown). [From Marvel Comics: With CIVIL WAR tearing the Marvel Universe apart, only one man can sew it back together: Deadpool!? Well, who else would make the perfect mercenary hero-hunter? In an effort to do his part, Deadpool crosses paths with the Great Lakes Avengers, and slices and dices his way to Daredevil, the Man Without Fear! Plus: What happens when the Merc with a Mouth faces the Sightless Scarlet Sentry? And where does Cable stand in all this? Where he always does: pretending he’s above the fray. Then why is he having a secret meeting with Captain America?] 
7 Separation Anxiety (36-42; w Fabian Nicieza; a Reilly Brown). [From Marvel Comics: Deadpool has decided to face the skeletons in his closet, dive deep into that dark void he calls a soul and rattle things up a bit. First order of business: Taskmaster. Second order of business: a knock-down drag-out BRAWL! Plus: The aftermath of the X-Men's battle against the Hecatomb has cost Cable a huge chunk of his island paradise of Providence and an even bigger slice of his soul. With all his hopes for the future of the planet Earth in jeopardy, now would be a pretty bad time for a reunion with Deadpool, wouldn't it? And an even worse time for... an assassination!]
