In case you didn't notice, this week was absolutely chock full of Marvel news. First we had the Avengers vs X-Men announcement, and then it was revealed that Marvel's upcoming AVENGERS: X-SANCTION would serve as a sort of a prologue to the AVENGERS vs X-MEN event.

If you've been awaiting Cable's return and are anxious to discover the circumstances that will bring him back to comics, then you'll be happy to know that you won't have to wait for very much longer. Earlier today Marvel released some teaser images as well as the full list of titles that will feature the AVENGERS: X-SANCTION event.

When Cable came back we knew it had to be big, but I had no idea that we could get superstars STEVE SKROCE and IAN CHURCHILL -- who I had a blast working on the monthly Cable comic back in the day - and, making his return to Marvel, STEPHEN PLATT to all do variant covers for AVENGERS X-SANCTION!” exclaimed Loeb. “This series is a celebration of everything we love about Nathan Summers and it wouldn’t have felt complete without all these guys onboard.”

The creative team knew that the return of Cable had to be big, but what will happen? How will he return? What will Hope's reaction to Cable's return be and what is his connection to the upcoming AVENGERS vs. X-MEN event? Be on the look out for AVENGERS: X-SANCTION #1 due to hit stores next Wednesday, December 14th.

Retailers: Please note that Marvel is rush printing a second printing of Avengers: X-Sanction #1 due to expected demand and its relationship to Avengers vs X-Men. Check the Marvel Mailer and Diamond Daily for more details.
