Marvel Comics has released a new teaser for X of Swords which focuses on Cable and his newest weapon, the Light of Galador.
The X of Swords teaser is for Cable #3, with its story carving a path to the upcoming X-Men crossover event. The art by Phil Noto features Nathan Summers and one of the Stepford Cuckoos gazing at the Light of Galador, the sword Nathan came into possession of in Cable #1. Nathan is unaware of its true origin, but the Light of Galador used to belong to Morn of the Spaceknights. Three of these Spaceknights are shown standing around the sword as energy radiates from it.
Cable is one of the ten X-Men who will stand to defend Krakoa during X of Swords. The description for X of Swords reads, "Spinning directly out of Jonathan Hickman’s X-MEN and Tini Howard’s EXCALIBUR, X OF SWORDS will be a massive mutant milestone that each X-Book will take part in. Every current X-Men writer—Jonathan Hickman, Tini Howard, Gerry Duggan, Benjamin Percy, Ed Brisson, Zeb Wells, Leah Williams, and Vita Ayala—has come together to craft a modern epic that will go down in X-Men history! Joined by incredible artists like Carmen Carnero, Pepe Larraz, R.B. Silva, Viktor Bogdanovic, Matteo Lolli, Mahmud Asrar, Phil Noto, and Rod Reis, the dramatic battles in store for the X-Men will be unforgettable."
