Cable returns this Wednesday, December 14

First on his list is Captain America, and only one will be able to walk away. Don't miss the return of Cable and the lead in to next year's big event!

Also from Marvel this week, the critically acclaimed team of Zeb Wells and Clayton Crain brings everyone's favorite red and black symbiote that they love to hate back in Carnage USA #1! After the events of their Carnage (2011) series, Cletus Kasady has returned as Carnage, and he plans to continue his deadly rampage. Spider-Man and the Avengers will have to hunt Carnage down before he one small town in America's heartland pays the ultimate price.
