New Mutants Omnibus Vol. 4

The classic saga concludes, setting the stage for X-FORCE!

Watch out, New Mutants — here comes the man called Cable! This mysterious metal-armed, gun-toting warrior with a glowing eye is targeting the Mutant Liberation Front — and when he crosses paths with Xavier’s students, their lives will never be the same! Cable trains the New Mutants into a fierce fighting force capable of tackling threats including Sabretooth, Skrulls and the shadowy Stryfe — but will they be ready when they find themselves targeted, along with the X-Men and X-Factor, by Cameron Hodge and the Genoshan government? Escape will only come at a devastating cost, and two New Mutants will not return home! Cable’s past catches up to him, the fast-talking Deadpool and the lethal Domino make their debuts and — as Sunspot heads into the sunset — the arrival of Feral and Shatterstar will lead to an end...and a blockbuster new beginning!
