Rob's Room: Cable by John Romita, Jr.
Cable by John Romita, Jr. (from ungoliantschilde):
It was originally published as inside of Cable: Blood and Metal # 1. It was kinda weird. A gatefold vertical poster, printed horizontally on the inside covers -front and back- of the first issue.
(cont. from ungoliantschilde):
Gotta love that JRJR being asked to do his version of the Rob Liefeld and style works better than Rob Liefeld could manage on his best day. “Cable: Blood and Metal” came out shortly after Liefeld jumped ship and went to Image. It was published because Marvel wanted to maintain the sales successes of Liefeld’s X-Force book. Marvel rushed out Cable: Blood and Metal right after Liefeld’s departure was announced. It was planned as a 4 issue Liefeld mini. It was published as a 2 oversized issue JRJR book. And it looks so freaking bonkers that it’s awesome. Nutty, nutty book. JRJR was asked to pump out a 4 issue mini in a pinch. It wound up as an artistic hallmark for Johnny. The mental image of Cable with the ridiculously large guns and pouches kind of originated with this mini. It’s dumb, but a lot of fun. JRJR dumbing himself down and upping the ante on the ridiculous pouches to copy the “Liefeld style” was actually more artistically sound than anything Rob ever did.
