Well, as promised, the secret “Reborn” title was announced at the San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday July 23rd. Cable: Reborn by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness will resurrect the popular Marvel character in December.
Jeph Loeb joined Joe Quesada and others for Cup o’ Joe at SDCC ‘11 and had this to say.
"Those of you that are longtime X-Men fans – who I have tremendous respect for – when I first started at Marvel back when they were on paper was ‘Cable,’" Loeb said. "He is a character that I love and like all of you was absolutely shocked and terrified when he went down in ‘Messiah CompleX’ and the ‘Second Coming’ storyline…. I like to think of him as the Captain America of the X-Men."
Axel Alonso, Marvel’s Editor-in-Chief, suggested Cable, Hope and Scarlet Witch as the three big breakout characters for Marvel over the next year. While Joe Quesada, Chief Creative Officer at Marvel Entertainment said that sometimes Marvel doesn’t know which characters will hit big until someone uses them in a book.
