Guest starring the Uncanny Avengers! • Hope goes on the run, determined to help Cable whether he wants it or not… …but the Uncanny Avengers have been keeping tabs on Hope and they’re not about to let her get tangled up with Cable’s band of fugitives!
Though it features some fun conflict and solid characterization, this is largely a forgettable installment of Cable and X-Force.
