It’s set in the present. Cable frees his younger self from Orchis, and the two of them have to stop some threat called the Neocracy. So they’ll take on Orchis in the beginning, and issue #2 shows them fighting a classic Marvel villain, the Grey Gargoyle. And ultimately they’ll take on the Neocracy, whatever that ends up being. Sounds like a fun mini to me.
Hopefully it sets up Cable’s status quo for the new era. My hope is he’s either running X-Force again or on an X-men team when Brevoort takes over.

Yeah, Scot Eaton's Cable looks badass. I'm glad to see his iconic Olivetti designed costume back too. While I enjoyed the new one from Children of the Vault, this one is definitely more iconic.
“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
Completely agree. No clue why Duggan felt compelled to bring him back at all. Unless they had already gotten Fabian’s pitch for this Cable series, and he wanted to write both Cables in it. So Duggan hastily brought him back before Fall of X only to be immediately captured and put on ice so he could appear in it. That’s the only logical explanation for Kid Cable’s return to the present that I can come up with. *shrugs*
“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
Good point.

He posted the colored version on X. Sorry I don’t know how to make it larger and cleaner…
