In the aftermath of the "Messiah Complex" war, Cyclops took a leap of faith and allowed his son Cable to disappear into the time stream with the first new mutant birth since "M" day - and the future of the dwindling mutant population - tucked under his arm. Weeks later, he still waits for a sign, however small, that he made the right decision. When Bishop travels back to the present in search of intel that will aid his search for Cable and the mutant baby, he'sintercepted by the X-Force! With Cyclops eagerly waiting to interrogate his former comrade, it would appear that the game is over for the time-traveling cop. So why is Bishop smiling?

Plus, If you think it's tough being Cable, hopping through time with a bawling kid strapped to your chest, try stepping into Bishop's shoes for a while. Yeah, you're a tough, smart cop, and you're no stranger to tracking time-traveling perps, but Cable is a new kind of quarry. Not only is he an X-Man who's very familiar with the future, he's also a highly-trained soldier who knows how to cover his tracks and leave dozens of down-and-dirty traps in his wake. For you, the stakes have never been higher.

1st printing.

By Michael Eury.

Captain Action, the original super-hero action figure, was introduced in 1966 in the wake of the Batman television craze, and later received his own DC comic book with art by Wally Wood and Gil Kane. Able to assume the identities of 13 famous super-heroes, his initial career was short-lived, but continuing interest in the hero has led to two different returns to toy-store shelves. This second edition of the critically acclaimed volume chronicles the history of this quick-changing champion, including photos of virtually every Captain Action product ever released, spotlights on his allies and his archenemy, an examination of his comic-book appearances, and "Action facts" that even the most-diehard Captain Action fan won't know!

This edition includes behind-the-scenes material covering Captain Action's triumphant 2008 return to comics shelves from Moonstone Books, and spotlights on the new wave of Captain Action collectibles.

Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 176 pages, full color.
